- The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the philosophical thought and spiritual beliefs of native peoples of North America. Students will examine a broad spectrum of issues which influence the worldview of native people on this continent, including European contact and thought. Students may find some of the issues to be controversial and personally challenging, however, a thorough discussion of the impact of European influences is important to understanding native people's resistance and survival. Finally, students will also explore the ways in which native philosophy and spiritual practices shape native life experience in a society viewed by many native people as being at odds with their beliefs.
