AIS promotes an awareness for and understanding of tribal sovereignty and selfdetermination. AIS offers students flexible degrees designed to meet their needs including majors in American Indian Studies and Tribal Administration and Governance as well as minors in American Indian Studies and Ojibwe Language.
