The AIS program is dedicated to teaching about the peoples, cultures, histories, and modern contributions of American Indian and Indigenous communities. AIS seeks to empower a generation of scholars, advocates, and leaders who will contribute to building a brighter and more inclusive future for all. As a student, you will engage in outreach and community services opportunities that will help promote the cultural, educational, economic, and natural resources development of American Indian nations and peoples. By developing a deeper understanding of Pacific Northwest tribal interests and history, you will be able to better work with key tribal co-managers of our shared environmental resources.
