Welcome Back!
I hope everyone enjoyed a relaxingand fun-filled summer. In June, I wasblessed and humbled by notificationthat my peers had awarded me statusas Full Professor. As many of youknow, the tenure and promotionprocess is complex and demandingand I am honored to have earned theposition of full professor. For the Fall semester, I would like towelcome our CSUSM community backto campus. We look forward toseeing new faces and reconnectingwith familiar ones. Additionally, Iwould like to welcome new faculty inthe American Indian StudiesDepartment. Dr. John Tippeconnic(Comanche/Cherokee) is teaching AIS101: Introduction to American IndianStudies, Dr. Linda Sue Warner (Comanche) is teaching AIS 370: AmericanIndian Women and Activism, and Dr. Brian Wescott (Athabascan/Yup'ik) isteaching AIS 350: Imagining Indians - American Indians, Mass Media, Filmand Society. Campus and community activities are quickly filling up my fallcalendar-we had our welcome reception for students with the Office ofthe Tribal Liaison, and had a great turnout. We are actively recruitingvolunteers and support for the 4th Annual California American Indian& Indigenous Film Festival, and I am very much looking forward tooverseeing the growth and development of the new AIS departmentin its inaugural year. I encourage all CSUSM students in the meantimeto enroll in our American Indian Studies Minor. We need your supportto make these changes happen!

My name is Jacquellyn Peery White,and I am a member of the Peoria Tribeof Indians of Oklahoma. I amcurrently a senior at CSUSM. Thissummer I was blessed to be acceptedas a MHIRT (Minority Health andHealth Disparities InternationalResearch Training) fellow in Uganda,Africa! I spent eight weeks in Ugandaresearching adolescent adherence toHIV therapy. I worked closely withhealthcare workers in villages, alongwith Ugandan military officials atseveral different military bases.Although my research focused on teenHIV, it was obvious that anotherobstacle the people in Uganda
faced was access to clean water. Many people do not understand thatclean water is a problem here in the United States, and even in SanDiego County!! I believe everyone should have clean water and itis everyone's responsibility to ensure that the water we do have iskept clean for future generations.
Within two weeks of returning from Africa, I went to North Dakota toshow support to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe against the DakotaAccess Pipeline. I felt honored to be a part of such a historic event.There were so many different tribes present, and the peacefulgatherings were amazing to witness. I participated in prayers,women's councils, and protests. This summer changed my life and Igained confidence I never thought I had before. I look forward tomany more exciting adventures in my future! #NODAPL#HonortheEarth

Past EventsPL 280 Course in Shingle SpringsOn August 4 - 5th, the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians hostedour "Understanding Jurisdiction on Tribal Lands: A User-friendly PL280" class. The invitation was extended by AmyAnn Taylor, GeneralCounsel to the Tribe. AmyAnn carved out time to attend the class aswell as, the Tribe's Chief of Police, Kay Ida. Even Chairman NicholasFonseca took time from his busy schedule to greet the class and joinin on some of our discussion.
Both days were well attended, primarily by local state public safetyagencies that were invited by the Tribe. Through the training,participants were able to gain a clearer understanding of tribalsovereignty and the historic evolution of criminal jurisdiction on triballands that created the convoluted jurisdictional scheme that existstoday. There was good discussion through the practical scenarios andunderstanding of the importance of strong partnerships between tribaland state agencies as they work to keep the community safe.
