The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill strives to be a warm, friendly, and diverse place where people with all types of cultural experiences, ideals, and achievements feel at home. American Indian & Indigenous Studies faculty, staff, affiliates, and students come from within and outside the state of North Carolina and from many different Indigenous nations. The American Indian Center serves as the front door of the University for Native students and communities in the state of North Carolina and for Native people from across the country. We encourage you to explore their website to access a wealth of information regarding student organizations and resources. We also invite you to learn more about the undergraduate-oriented Carolina Indian Circle, the graduate student-centered First Nations Graduate Circle, and the Native American Law Students’ Association. Every year, American Indian and Indigenous Studies partners with the American Indian Center and other departments to offer exciting speakers and events, including the Michael D. Green Lecture in American Indian Studies, the Elder-In-Residence program, and the Carolina Seminar in Global Indigeneity & American Indian Studies.
