Vision

The Myaamia Nation will be strengthened through the revitalization of our distinct ways of knowing, speaking, and being.

Mission

The Center, a ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Tribe of Oklahoma initiative located within an academic setting, serves the needs of the Myaamia people, ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ, and partner communities through research, education, and outreach that promote Myaamia language, culture, knowledge, and values.

The Myaamia Center has two main purposes:

1. To conduct in-depth research to assist tribal educational initiatives aimed at the preservation of language and culture. This research is used to create a wide range of educational models and materials for community language and cultural programs.
2. To expose undergraduate and graduate students at ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ to tribal efforts in language and cultural revitalization. Student experiences are gained through a wide range of activities, including visits to Oklahoma, direct involvement in research initiatives, class visitations by Center staff, and access to ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Tribe language and cultural resources.

The Myaamia Center is directly supported by the ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Tribe of Oklahoma and ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ. Anyone committed to helping perpetuate ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ language and culture for future generations is welcome to participate. Contact our office to get involved.
