 Series

Scope and Content

From the Collection: This collection consists of oral history interviews and transcripts. The interviews were conducted with Native American faculty, students, and alumni speaking about their time at UNM and discussing the beginning and impact of Native American programs, projects, and organizations. Some of the interviews are with people affiliated with UNM although they may not have attended UNM. Primary focuses of the interviews include UNM's Native American Studies Department, activities, actions of administration and regents, and a variety of other topics related to Native American experiences at the University of New Mexico.

The project maintained an interviewee file and each interviewee was assigned an interview number (some numbers were deleted from the project). The interview Project Files contain the interview transcripts, printed interview questions, notes, abstracts, vitas and clippings about the interviewees.
