The American Indian Workshop (AIW) was founded in 1980 and has become the
most important European scholarly platform for researchers concerned with topics
related to the Native Peoples of North America. The AIW also includes scholars from
all over the world.
The American Indian Workshop was initiated in 1980 at the Amsterdam Meeting of
the European Association for American Studies (EAAS). Wilcomb Washburn, Harry

Allen and Jacqueline Fear-Segal had organized an "American Indian Workshop"
bringing together scholars in the field of American Indian Studies from various countries and disciplines. The participants of this first workshop were Gordon Brotherston, Naila Clerici, Jacqueline Fear-Segal, Christian Feest, Gerhard Hoffmann, Elise
Marienstras, Elemire Zolla, and Wilcomb Wasburn (Chairman). The European participants to this workshop decided to meet annually from then on - apart from the
EAAS meetings - as the American Indian Workshop. Christian Feest volunteered to
take over the organization of the AIW Meetings and the AIW Newsletter.
The goal of the AIW is to provide a platform for established academics and young
scholars to share their expertise and experiences as well as to benefit from one another's critical engagement. The meetings - hosted each year by a European academic institution - are now regarded as one the most important ones in Native American Studies worldwide. The domain of Native American Studies is enriched by
scholars from such diverse disciplines as history, literature, anthropology, ethnology,
art history, gender studies, museology, ethnomusicology, religion, law, linguistics,
political science, cultural studies, philosophy, Canadian and American Studies, Native American Studies, Inuit Studies, and performance studies as well as communication and media studies. The AIW has become the most innovative venue in Europe for all involved with the scholarly pursuit of Native American and Inuit studies
as well as being the place where Native American scholars and performers are honored and find a welcome reception.
