Welcome to the Indigenous Studies Network at APSA!

About the Indigenous Studies Network

The Indigenous Studies Network serves as a home for scholars studying Native Americans, First Nations and other Indigenous groups and organizations as well as their political, policy and legal interaction with indigenous and non-indigenous groups and governments. The ISN is especially important as Indigenous studies crosses multiple subfields within political science including federalism/intergovernmental relations, comparative politics, public policy, public administration, political theory, international relations, and law, among others. We are an affiliated group of the American Political Science Association (APSA).
