Why Give to SAR?

Hear from Robert Weiner, SAR’s 2022-2023 Paloheimo fellow, as he reflects on his time at SAR.

To be a human being is to ask questions about ourselves, about others, and about the larger world. That’s what happens here at SAR. Scholars are given the freedom to think boldly, to think big, to zero in on the beautiful and challenging details of research projects, and then to craft narratives to tell stories that give us a sense of who we are as human beings.”
– Robert Weiner, 2022-2023 Paloheimo fellow

We invite you to connect with SAR as we explore new ways to share inspiring content that deepens our understanding of humankind and promotes Native American arts and culture.

Your investment ensures that SAR continues to provide one of the most unique learning environments in the country for anthropologists, social scientists and Native artists.

Your support means fellows in our programs have the time and space to explore challenging topics, discuss critical social issues, and expand their own creativity.

Your generosity makes it possible for our communities to enrich their lives by connecting with scholars, artists, and an extended network of innovative thinkers.

Your support matters.
