We invite research and teaching approaches that have potential to collaborate with the eight native nations that border Utah.

In gratitude to the work of the National Communication Associations Indigenous Caucus we align with its definition of Indigenous: We use the term Indigenous to refer to people and kinship networks who are the original peoples of a place and still hold claims and relationships to that place and those who are disconnected reconnecting or simply cannot access their Indigenous lineage or geographies due to historic and ongoing violence. There is no one agreedupon definition of Indigenous by all communities that use the term. The term Indigenous is used globally by many different communities and can have different meanings depending on the particular places peoples histories and epistemologies involved. For example Native Americans Alaska Natives Knaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) Pacific Islanders Mori Ainu Nuhua Maya Mapuche Bedouin Hmoung Basque Sami Cherokee Freedmen and Iuit kinship networks and Nations are examples (albeit very few) of Indigenous peoples. When referencing Native or Native Studies we refer to Native Americans (or American Indians) Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians are the Indigenous peoples and nations within the lands that setters call the United States and First Nations who are the Indigenous peoples and nations within the lands that settlers call Canada.

Beyond the land acknowledgment the University of Utah has taken a variety of actions and initiatives in support of Indigenous peoples and nations.
