Studies emphasizes historical and contemporary socio-political experiences, perspectives and world views, predominantly in the United States with a special attentiveness to First Oregonians and the Klamath Basin region, but with a secondary focus on connecting U.S. based struggles of Native\/First Nations\/Indigenous peoples throughout the world. Students analyze federal Indian laws and policies as well as movements for sovereignty and self-determination; examine the historical formation and contemporary experiences of the nine tribes of Oregon; learn about key concepts including sovereignty (inherent, tribal, cultural, visual, and intellectual), self-determination, revitalization and humor; and engage in decolonizing, critical, and reflexive thinking and creative work while learning to speak and write clearly, concisely and meaningfully about Native peoples\u2019 experiences. While the goals of a NAS program are multifaceted, the program\u2019s goal is to pair student learning with university social justice initiatives that have the objective to build relationships with Indigenous communities and organizations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-mavoi1f1-17e86469067efb51a3c3419042bf6e5c-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><a href="https:\/\/catalog.sou.edu\/content.php?catoid=17&amp;navoid=2024"  class='avia-button av-mavoi1f1-17e86469067efb51a3c3419042bf6e5c av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-dark'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"SEE COURSE REQUIREMENTS\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >SEE COURSE REQUIREMENTS<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av-layout-grid-1'  class='av-layout-grid-container av-3sffern-58c42da388f6b6c0400b368f02643335 entry-content-wrapper alternate_color av-border-cells av-flex-cells  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  grid-row-not-first  container_wrap fullsize'  >\n<div class='flex_cell av-3kcgvfn-427b3b5587a28c7ecba15e404b812f17 av-gridrow-cell av_two_fifth no_margin  avia-builder-el-15  el_before_av_cell_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-first '  ><div class='flex_cell_inner'><p><div  class='flex_column av-2wildvn-be003a43d90bea91d8cdfa3c0418d969 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-16  el_before_av_four_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div  '     ><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-2ni8fib-bc651af382b041c0a5040ee7836e8444 av_four_fifth  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1x44wcj-1300732f30736543767abf1365503740\">\n.av_font_icon.av-1x44wcj-1300732f30736543767abf1365503740{\ncolor:#d2e388;\nborder-color:#d2e388;\n}\n.av_font_icon.av-1x44wcj-1300732f30736543767abf1365503740 .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:40px;\nline-height:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-1x44wcj-1300732f30736543767abf1365503740 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-center dig-0 avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue8c9' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1m5xspv-222fd055d8dc15190ebcdf590bebadb7\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-1m5xspv-222fd055d8dc15190ebcdf590bebadb7{\npadding-bottom:20px;\ncolor:#d2e388;\nfont-size:24px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-1m5xspv-222fd055d8dc15190ebcdf590bebadb7 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1m5xspv-222fd055d8dc15190ebcdf590bebadb7 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-1m5xspv-222fd055d8dc15190ebcdf590bebadb7 .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#d2e388;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-1m5xspv-222fd055d8dc15190ebcdf590bebadb7 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1m5xspv-222fd055d8dc15190ebcdf590bebadb7 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1m5xspv-222fd055d8dc15190ebcdf590bebadb7 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-1m5xspv-222fd055d8dc15190ebcdf590bebadb7 av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote modern-centered  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_font_icon  el_before_av_textblock  force-pop-12 av-inherit-size'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  ><span class=\"heavy-man\">Degree Fit<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lt6i1z58-44c8eb081b487c433c1256746d50ecdb\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lt6i1z58-44c8eb081b487c433c1256746d50ecdb .avia_textblock{\ntext-align:center;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lt6i1z58-44c8eb081b487c433c1256746d50ecdb '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Program Preparation<\/h4>\n<p>Students pursuing a Minor in Native American Studies will complete 24 credits.
