American Indian Resource Center
Welcome to the American Indian Resource Center, located in the Department of Anthropology. Founded in 1998, with the encouragement of the late Thomasina E. Jordan, the mission of the American Indian Resource Center (AIRC) seeks to serve the Native community, scholars and students interested in American Indian culture and history, as well as the public at large. We conceive of the AIRC as an heir to the strong tradition of service fostered here at the College of William & 玛丽.
Th
Since the founding of the AIRC we have sought to work in partnership with descendant communities and tribal members from Virginia and around the United States on topics of interest and importance to tribal members, students and faculty. Additionally, we are committed to the education of school children and the general public regarding the history and culture of Native peoples. We are actively involved in the development of educational materials and teacher training and we are pleased to draw on our extensive collection of historical and archaeological resources for our collaborative projects.
We thank all our Native partners, the Department of Anthropology, and the college administration for their years of dedicated support. We look forward to many more years of collaboration!
