These narratives analyze the pressing political, social, and cultural concerns impacting our peoples and sovereign nations. Through course projects students will not only deepen their collective knowledge and actively share it, empowering them as knowledgeable keepers and advocates for accurate, respectful, and affirming learning about Indigenous nations. Beginning with and for our local and tribal communities.

As part of the partnership between CMN and Emory to co-develop Native American and Indigenous Studies, these classes are held concurrently online and have the same curriculum and schedule, with additional in-person enrichment opportunities for students. Emory and CMN students will partner to create semester/trimester-long projects linking historical and legal issues to Muscogee homelands, Muscogee reservation lands, and each student's home communities.
