Welcome to Native American Studies at the University of Georgia

The Institute of Native American Studies at the University of Georgia was founded in 2004. UGA INAS is one of the few Native Studies programs in the Southeast and serves as a hub for other similar programs in Georgia. Today, we are a vibrant and growing community of scholars with a strong graduate and undergraduate research program. Institutes at UGA, just like departments, have three functions: teaching, programming and research. UGA INAS is dedicated to interdisciplinary academic engagement, programming that features Native American and Indigenous voices, research that benefits Native communities, and sustaining Native American community on campus. Check out our News tab for current articles related to Native American communities and issues. See our Events tab for upcoming talks, exhibits, film screenings, and presentations sponsored by INAS.
