Eleven jobs in support of Peninsula College’s Indigenous language program.

Peninsula College proposes the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Connections Project. This project will continue and extend the work of the prior NEH Cares Grant to 1) protect humanities faculty and staff positions, 2) provide funding to create and offer one or two further Indigenous language courses in the collaborative teaching model previously piloted by Peninsula College, and 3) develop curriculum for a new American Indian Indigenous Studies (AIIS) program to be offered at Peninsula College in person and online. These project goals align with Peninsula College’s mission as a deeply community-engaged institution dedicated to equity and inclusion. The project will serve Peninsula College students and the general public, including particular engagement with and benefits to the six tribal nations the college is honored to serve.
