Purpose Mission, Program Objectives
The purpose of the mission statement is to guide the academic leadership of a college or university in determining what educational programs are appropriate for the institution’s curriculum by clearly identifying the department or school’s overall purpose.

The tribal life ways of Native peoples from pre-contact times through the contemporary area allows students to experience tribal histories, ancient religions, various art forms, musical styles and media as an integral element of American Indian cultural expression. The foundation of American Indian Studies programs is Indian cultural and spiritual values regarding the ecological caretaking of mother earth, and vocational/technical skills they so can began using these skills in the service of their Indian communities early in their college careers.
