Through teaching and collaborations with other Indigenous artists, Shirod is dedicated to passing on traditional knowledge and bringing Tribal communities together.

 

Join us at the Erb Memorial Amphitheater in honor of Indigenous Peoples Day where we will be raising the tribal flags of the 9 Federally Recognized Tribes of Oregon. NASU is also calling for all Indigenous peoples at the UO to bring their own tribal flags to celebrate the diversity and power of tribal sovereignty at the UO. 

 

Imagining the Indian is a comprehensive examination of the movement to eradicate the words, images, and gestures that many Native Americans and their allies find harmful, demeaning, and offensive.

Come hear about an exciting study abroad opportunity to earn 8 upper division IRES/NAIS credits—the only study abroad program we have specifically for IRES/NAIS! The class, led by Dr. Lana Lopesi, focuses on Indigeneity and Environmental Justice in the beautiful Pacific archipelago of Sāmoa. 

 

While in Sāmoa you will live with Samoan families in the village and learn about traditional life, you’ll take Samoan language lessons and we will go on a series of excursions to learn about how Samoan peoples are responding to climate change, environmental disasters, and biodiversity challenges in ways that are self-determined and aligned with faʻasamoa or the Samoan way of life.
