Abstract: Haskell Indian Nations University (HINU), an Indigenous university run by the federal government, uses the flexibility of the discipline of geography to create a platform to overcome horrendous colonial legacies, and make HINU a leader in convergence science research. The popularity of Geographical Information System (GIS) is drawing attention to geographic inquiry, but it can pigeonhole the discipline. For the student body at HINU, these barriers are palpable, along with the obstacles minoritized students face in the academy overall. HINU geography attempts to alleviate those student burdens and ameliorate the awareness gap in the applicability of geographic inquiry beyond the sciences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
