During the First Convocation of American Indian Scholars in March 1970 at Princeton University, indigenous scholars drafted a plan to develop "Native American Studies as an Academic Discipline", which would defend indigenous control of land and indigenous rights and would ultimately reform US Indian Policy. This discipline would be informed by traditional knowledge, especially oral history, and would "defend indigenous nationhood in America". Another goal of the convention was to alter the narrative of indigenous people as just “inheritors of trauma” but also inheritors of key knowledge about the universe and the land they inhabit. [4]

By the 1990s the National Indian Policy Center at George Washington University  was founded. The center affected the kind of research and topic addressed in the field of Native American Studies.[4]
