It's Symposium time-- this Thursday & Friday!

Symposium Agenda- Center for Tribal Studies - supporting academic effectiveness, quality of student experiences, and activities at NSU.

While colonization influenced Indigenous education, it never stopped Native peoples from educating one another. Our guest speaker for April’s Lunch and Learn is Dr. Julie L. Reed.

Understanding ways in which Cherokees taught and learned from each other over the course of more than four centuries takes a heroine’s journey. Reed’s “Land, Language, And Women: A Cherokee and American Educational History” reclaims Cherokee perspectives that reveal surprising continuity amid powerful change.

Join us for this Lunch and Learn on Wednesday, April 15, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. at the NSU Jazz Lab in downtown Tahlequah, Oklahoma. A light lunch is provided — you may also bring your own lunch to this event.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS, due Feb. 20th!

Northeastern State University invites proposals for 53rd Annual Symposium on the American Indian, with the theme of “Culture as Medicine: Guiding Education into the Future”, set for April 9-10, 2026.

NSU has held the Annual Symposium on the American Indian since 1972, building a reputation and recognition among the community as a forefront of Indigenous education. The symposium continues to educate students, staff, faculty and community members about Indigenous history and its connections to environmental, academic, societal and Native health topics.

Proposal topics include professional and academic presentations, student academia, anthropology, tribal sovereignty and more. Symposium officially welcomes subjects that engage students, educators, tribal leaders and community members in dialogue about the symposium theme. Submissions should include subjects and ideas related to the theme.

Questions or additional information can be directed to the Center for Tribal Studies at 918-444-4350 or by email at [email protected].
