The discussion title is pretty self-explanatory. 
I know nothing about the major itself. But I do know that Dartmouth started out as a school for Native American students. The archives there must be amazing . . . .
I have a friend who studied Native American culture and history at another institution. After then attending law school, this person now practices Native American / American Indian law
Thats so awesome you get to have a friend with a career in Native American culture! @Dustyfeathers Thank you so much!
I imagine that you could use this major in any number of ways, law just being one of them.
- Advocacy work -- government or nonprofit
- Public health or social services
- Combine it with premed courses and go into medicine
- Historian
- Combine with gender studies as an added dimension
- Museum studies and work
- Arts development and/or entrepreneurship
- Combine with computer science courses and work developing those capacities in tribal orgs
- Combine with business courses and development
- Accounting
- Linguistics
- Literature/ journalism--writing and appreciating
- Natural resources management
DC internship idea-- http://www.ncai.org/
Also there are several organizations that you can google to find volunteer and internship positions in Native territories.
The sky is the limit.
Thank you so much! @Dustyfeathers
Actually, Wheelock pulled a bait & switch that might well have gotten him arrested in current times. This is not to denigrate Dartmouth’s concern for/attention to/interest in Native American education, but even Calloway would agree that Wheelock left behind the goal of his Moor’s Indian Charity School when he obtained the funds to start Dartmouth under misleading, if not false, pretenses (which doesn’t make him any worse or any better than any number of 18th century visionaries). And, yes, the archives at the college are amazing. See http://www.dartmouth.edu/~occom/
