The Native & Indigenous Research & Arts Symposium (NIRAS) serves as an academic space to uplift diverse Native and Indigenous research, narratives, issues, and knowledges. NIRAS aims to center Native and Indigenous epistemological and methodological frameworks that are otherwise ignored within dominant Western academic settings. We also take a transnational approach to Indigeneity that disrupts settler borders and uplifts Indigenous experiences across the globe. Additionally, in honor of the Native American Music and Dance Conference organized by Dr. Vince Whipple in 2022 - we are excited to integrate the arts as a prominent part of our symposium. NIRAS will include visual performances by local and regional Indigenous artists.
