A two-year faculty and curriculum development project on contemporary Native American culture.

This project will recruit ten faculty from both humanities and non-humanities fields to participate in a two-year long project to infuse Contemporary American Indian Culture across the curriculum. As part of the professional development, faculty will travel to American Indian museums and cultural centers in New Mexico and Oklahoma, as well as visit the Prairie Band Potawatomi Reservation in Mayetta, KS. Out of this professional development, the faculty cohort will develop course modules to integrate the study of Contemporary American Indian Culture into their courses. These courses will form part of the curriculum for JCCC’s Certificate in American Indian Studies, to be launched in Spring 2020.
