Laurentian University: Native Studies

The Native Studies program provides a unique perspective that pertains to such disciplines as anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, religious studies, and sociology. The program, housed at the University of Sudbury, is dedicated to the revival of Native self-determination and the renewal of Native thought and languages.
