NDHU College of Indigenous Studies (NDHU CIS; Chinese: 國立東華大學原住民民族學院; pinyin: Dōnghuá yuánzhùmín mínzú Xuéyuàn) is a school of Indigenous Studies at National Dong Hwa University (NDHU). Founded in 2001, it traces its root back to the Graduate Institute of Ethnic Relations and Cultures in 1995 with Professor Chiao Chien, the Professor of Anthropology at Indiana University Bloomington and Founding Chair of Anthropology at Chinese University of Hong Kong, as Founding Director.[1]
NDHU CIS is Taiwan's oldest school for Indigenous Studies and Taiwan's most prominent think tank for indigenous issues.[2] NDHU CIS is commonly regarded as Taiwan's premier academic institution for Indigenous Studies,[3][4] its MSS program in Ethnic Relations and Cultures has been selected as one of Taiwan's eight programs for Fulbright Program.[5]
The college's student body comprises an equal proportion of indigenous and Han Chinese students,[6] which has academic partnerships in teaching and research with Global Council for Anthropological Linguistics of SOAS University of London, University of Ottawa, Western Sydney University, Macquarie University, and University of Waikato.[7][8][9]
