5th Annual Native & Indigenous Research & Arts Symposium (NIRAS)

Howka (Kumeyaay greeting)! The Native Resource Center (NRC) at San Diego State University (SDSU) warmly invites you to participate in their 5th Annual Native & Indigenous Research & Arts Symposium (NIRAS) taking place from March 6-7, 2025 at Scripps Cottage on the SDSU campus.

NIRAS serves as an academic space to uplift diverse Native and Indigenous research, narratives, art, issues, and knowledges. NIRAS aims to center Native and Indigenous epistemological and methodological frameworks that are otherwise ignored within dominant Western academic settings. They 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 (Lakota/Diné) in 2022 – the center is excited to continue to integrate the arts as a prominent part of our symposium. NIRAS will include visual performances by local and regional Indigenous artists.
