The Center has supported conferences and published books on subjects ranging from contemporary American Indian theater to California Indian recognition efforts to the Indian Child Welfare Act. Affiliated scholars have presented recommendations to state and federal governments as well as the United Nations to advance economic development, tribal governance, cultural and language revitalization, and sovereign rights in tribal communities.
