In the late 1980s, Amerind established the Amerind New World Studies Seminar Series to bring together scholars to discuss topical issues in New World anthropology and related subjects, and to make the subsequent results available in a new publication series.

In December 2002, the Amerind Foundation entered into partnership with the Society for American Archaeology, the major professional organization of American archaeologists, to establish the Amerind Seminars, annual seminars at the Amerind that recognize the outstanding symposium at the SAA's annual meeting. The program is summarized in an article written for the March 2003 Archaeological Record, the SAA's quarterly newsletter and is reproduced below in its entirety (please click here: Amerind Seminars).
