Laurea in Studi sugli Amerindi

Nueva Hidatsa Sahnish College (NHSC) Native American Studies is an interdisciplinary program focused on the Americas' Indigenous peoples with emphasis on the Plains Indians, particularly the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara. The curriculum provides an interdisciplinary and scholarly approach to Native American Studies from a Native perspective.

The comprehensive program structure is designed to prepare you for employment in and outside of Native communities, provide foundational courses to continue in Native American Studies or enter other disciplines, and offer intellectually stimulating studies for student scholars and community members. The Native American Studies Program uses various applicable college resources ranging from laboratories in the hard sciences to philosophical discussions of research methodologies proposed by other departments.

The Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College (NHSC) is tribally chartered by the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation headquarters at New Town, North Dakota. NHSC is tribally controlled by a Board of Directors, which consists of seven members. The College was founded May 2, 1973, as the agency responsible for higher education on the Fort Berthold Reservation.

The values of NHS College are modeled in a similar structure to the earth lodge, the common home of the Nueta, Hidatsa, and Sahnish people. Unity, our key value, is in the center – similar to the central position of the fire pit in earth lodges. Just as a fire radiates energy, so too does Unity usher in the surrounding principles of Spirituality, People, Culture, and Future. These four domains stand in the position where posts of the earth lodge support its roof.
