In this minor, students investigate both the history of indigenous peoples and the contemporary issues they face, and develop an appreciation for Native artistic expression. This is an interdisciplinary program, with courses drawn from several departments, ranging from anthropology and English to environmental studies and history. Students take advantage of the Akwesasne Mohawk Reservation, about 40 miles from campus, to engage in Community-Based Learning coursework, field trips and service projects.
Faculty members put their knowledge into action so students and others are able to benefit from it. Recently, faculty presented at conferences, published research articles with colleagues and St. Lawrence alumni, and shared their expertise as podcast guests.
