Abstract "American Indian Studies is an edited volume that gathers together the stories of Native American doctoral graduates of the American Indian Studies at the University of Arizona, the first AIS program in the United States to offer a PhD. It provides a forum for ten Native graduates to assess and communicate the impact that earning a doctorate in AIS from the UA has had in their personal and professional lives, and to share their stories with a broader audience. Offering personal accounts of the challenges that Native peoples face on the road to, through, and beyond graduate education, these autobiographical essays tackle themes including a commitment to tribal community, the need for Indigenous grounded and supported doctoral education, individual perseverance, the importance of faculty/program support, academic training for a future career, career trajectories, family and personal challenges, and persistence"-- Provided by publisher.
