American Indian Studies - UWEC

We’re proud to announce “Tending Our Roots with Indigenous Methodologies,” a brand new, 10 episode podcast that will explore Indigenous Methodologies in research, evaluation, and community practice 🎙️🌱

Join hosts Dr. Miigis Gonzalez (Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe) and Dr. Jill Fish (Tuscarora Nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy) every Friday as they discuss with their featured guest how Indigenous Knowledges and ways of being address the structural limits of Western frameworks. This podcast is a living resource for those nurturing the health, healing, and futures of Indigenous communities.

New episodes drop starting May 1st, 2026!
