ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú

The Myaamia Center's offices explore research on a breadth of topics, from language and education to cultural ecology.

We present our research regularly at events such as the Myaamiaki Conference. We also make our research available to members of the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Tribe community and the public, in many cases as free downloads.
