The Native Eyes Project will implement new approaches to college
teaching in the Humanities and Social Sciences, incorporating
social, cultural and intellectual contributions of Native Americans.
The teaching materials will be innovative in both content and
format. While the new four year major entitled "Indigenous
Studies: Perspectives on Knowledge and Culture" will pay
special attention to needs and interests of the broader Native
American community, it will also have a major outreach to people
of all races and cultures. In other words, the initiative aims
to expand the academic scope, as well as the range of teaching
methodologies, in both American Indian Studies and mainstream
Humanities programs. It is hoped that the full major will soon
be available for study by distance students online, utilizing
interactive learning techniques developed especially for the program
