40th American Indian Workshop
‘Indigenous Economies: Sustenance, Sustainability and Sovereignty’
24-27 April 2019

Join us for the 40th American Indian Workshop (AIW 2019), which is organized by the Faculty of English in  collaboration with Faculty of Polish and Classical Philology, and Kulczyk Foundation. Its theme is Indigenous Economies: Sustenance, Sustainability and Sovereignty.

The American Indian Workshop (AIW) provides a platform for researchers and academics in all scholarly disciplines dealing with Native American Studies in the United States and Canada. It has held annual meetings since 1980. The 40th edition of the AIW will be hosted by the Faculty of English at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. 

Our intention is to focus on the present situation of Native Americans and First Nations, concentrating mainly on the issue of sustainable development and sovereignty of Native Americans as politically and economically independent nations.
