Dartmouth Launches Tribal Sovereignty Institute

Jul 30, 2026

The Dartmouth Tribal Sovereignty Institute is a major new initiative to support tribal nations in advancing their own economic, cultural, and environmental priorities. The Institute of Arctic Studies is proud to be named among the institution’s distinctive strengths the new institute will draw upon, alongside the Department of Native American and Indigenous Studies, the Native American Program, and other campus partners.

The Institute of Arctic Studies — Dartmouth’s crossroads for multidisciplinary Arctic scholarship and global policy dialogs that center inclusion, justice, equity, and Indigenous Knowledge in solutions to Arctic and global challenges — looks forward to a long future of collaborations with the new Institute.
