Research in Indian Country

The University of Arizona, as the State’s Land Grant institution, has the unique privilege of working closely with the twenty-one federally recognized tribes that lie within the State’s borders. Reservations and tribal communities make up over twenty-five percent of Arizona and is the home to over 250,000 Native Americans. (Economic Development Research Program 2007). The University of Arizona has a far reaching research potential with its seventeen colleges and ten schools. Each college or school has the potential to conduct research on at least one of the twenty-one reservations. This fact sheet describes research and research protocol with audiences on Indian reservations.
