The Center for Research and Collaboration in the Indigenous Americas (CRACIA) brings together faculty, researchers, students, practitioners, and indigenous affiliates to expand the knowledge and resources of Amazonian Studies at the University of Maryland and the surrounding region. The Center fosters a cohesive community for research and program creation through seminars, conferences, film showings, courses, lectures, and roundtable discussions by members and visitors. The Center has an office in Woods Hall where it provides a home, resources, and support to visiting scholars.
