Register now for the annual Wisconsin American Indian Studies Summer Institute. The virtual institute is an active, highly participatory, week-long workshop designed to increase participants’ understanding of issues related to the history, culture, and tribal sovereignty of the American Indian nations and tribal communities in Wisconsin.
The goals of the summer institute relate to both American Indian Studies and the education of Native American students. The summer institute aims to improve teaching and learning and to enrich student services, resulting in becoming more culturally responsive. Participants will learn how to adapt or develop new techniques best suited to their local contexts.
Staff and presenters come from a variety of academic and personal backgrounds. They serve as resources and mentors and assist in facilitating daily small and large group sessions. The sessions are designed to help participants process what they have learned and develop an action plan to extend their learning.
This institute will meet statutory license stipulations for “Wisconsin American Indian Tribes and Bands,” or Wisconsin Act 31. Individuals will need to attend each daily session during the summer institute along with completing additional instructional assignments.
