在這里學什么？
Portland State University is the only college in the state of Oregon to offer a major in Indigenous Nations and Native American studies. The program focuses on studies and practices of Tribal critical race theory, decolonizing methodologies, traditional and cultural ecological knowledge, and contemporary themes. Contemporary themes include:
- community health
- food sovereignty and the cultivation of first foods
- Indigenous land management
- community development
- resilience
- Indigenous futurisms
- self-determination
We offer students the opportunity to:
- Engage with a diverse range of epistemologies (oral, visual, and written), and discourses on tribal sovereignty and law, traditional ecological knowledge, models of Indigenous leadership, Tribal critical race theory, and decolonizing methodologies.
- Explore inside and outside the classroom through community-based learning including Indigenous ecological practices, collaborative research on natural resource management, and environmental sustainability.
- Examine and reflect upon resistance movements up to and including Red Power and Standing Rock, that assert and reaffirm Indigenous sovereignty and community resilience.
- Understand and address through critical theory, community engagement and discourse, the historical context and contemporary issues impacting social, economic, and environmental justice in Tribal and urban American Indian/Alaska Native/First Nations communities.
- Analyze and reflect upon their own identity, allowing students to forge an individual pathway of reflective decolonization alongside peers in an environment that encourages self-examination.
- Develop an understanding of Indigenous relationships today and in the past with the environment: land, water, animals, plants, weather/climate, seasons,
With a bachelor’s degree in Indigenous Nations and Native American studies, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of issues that American Indian/Alaska Native/First Nations communities face. There is discourse that society is in a post-colonial state, but these problems persist and are part of the daily lives of Indigenous peoples. Many of our students go on to work with Native populations in a variety of fields including:
- education
- social services
- sustainability
- Tribal government
- nonprofits
- local, state, and federal agencies
-
Recent graduates have gone on to work for organizations and agencies across the region and country, including:
- Metro Regional Government
- City of Portland
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
- U.S. Bureau of Land Management
- Intertribal Timber Council
- Columbia River InterTribal Fish Commission
- Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board
- Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA)
