Welcome to the Alaska Native Studies Department
The Alaska Native Studies Department seeks to provide the student with a keen awareness of the scope, richness, and variety of Alaska Native cultural heritages, and a series of critical perspectives on the contemporary Native experience in the plural society of North America. The student's academic program will be interdisciplinary as it is built upon a combination of appropriate courses currently offered in other specialized disciplines and of an integrated set of core courses offered by the ANS Department.
