About the Indigenous Fellowship

Each year, the Heller Center awards a fellowship to an artist or scholar from a federally-recognized indigenous tribe who is doing work in Indigenous studies writ-large, most recently with support from a CU President's Inclusive Excellence Grant. This fellowship aims to support work in Indigenous Studies by providing scholars an inspiring and distraction-free environment in which to work, funding, and the access to UCCS facilities and faculty. This fellowship also presents an opportunity for cross-pollination among the fellows and the UCCS faculty undertaking work in Indigenous studies. This initiative is meant to spotlight both UCCS’s Indigenous population and the history of the land upon which UCCS and the Heller Center sit.
