California Indian Nations College- Band of Indians

The Center for Indigenous Peoples Studies [CIPS] is the primary site for innovative programs for the study of American Indians and local, national and international Indigenous Peoples. The CIPS programs involves CSUSB faculty, students and administrators, partnerships with Native Nations [Tribes] in the region and nationally, and strong connections with Indigenous Peoples throughout the Americas and the world, many currently in contact with Center personnel and the university.

By assisting in the development of the California Indian Nations College- Band of Indians, Dr. James Fenelon, Director of the CIPS, will help advance the teaching and learning of American Indians, Native Nations and Indigenous Peoples regionally and globally. This is one of the Academic Goals of CIPS.
