Native American Studies at

Ball State University

  

   Native American Studies has a new brochure!  Check it out here!

  Thanks to everyone who attended the Speaker Series this year, you have helped make it a huge success!

 

 The Native American Studies minor program at Ball State seeks to enrich our understanding of the indigenous cultures of North American.  It is an interdisciplinary minor offered by the Anthropology, History, and English departments.

 

   Colleen Boyd was appointed director of the program in 2004.  She completed her doctorate in cultural anthropology at the University of Washington in 2001.  She is an ethnohistorian and environmental anthropologist and works primarily with Coast Salish people in the Pacific Northwest.  Dr. Boyd is published in Ethnohistory and is working on a full-length monograph about the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe.
