Popis: | The American Indian Studies Program at Michigan State University (Msu) became a reality in fall 2000 with the appointment of the first director and the establishment of a budget. While many people had been hoping for and working toward the creation of such a program for some time, it took the efforts of a critical mass of faculty, both Native and non-Native, to bring the program into being. Other factors, including the support of staff, students, and administration, were crucial, but it was the presence of a dedicated group of faculty that drove the development of this program, committed to an interdisciplinary approach, a focus on Indian peoples of the Great Lakes, and service to Native communities.1 |
