Yale University will appoint its first faculty member in Native American studies this fall.

To move towards creating a Native studies program, the school will host a colloquium series this semester to present graduate and doctorate work in Native-related areas. Anthropology research affiliate Michael Kral said the forum will help undergraduates generate ideas they might pursue in a Native studies program.

The faculty member was not announced at a meeting held at the school's Native American Cultural Center.
