Course Catalog Description:
Introduction to how voices/visions of indigenous peoples have contributed to history of cultural expression in North America. Historic contexts/varieties of this expression by region, tribal cultures. Emphasizes contributions in literature, philosophy, politics, fine arts.
Class Description:
This course is intended to give students a general overview of the contemporary and historic experiences of American Indian peoples in the United States and Canada. It challenges the dominant culture's stereotypes and its unthinking assumptions about American Indian people in the past and present. It shows how the peoples of America's First Nations engaged the presence and representations of foreigners in their midst through acts of resistance, rebellion, accommodation, and innovation. In the process, it illustrates the great diversity of tribal cultures and histories in North America, and it gives evidence of this in the areas of identity, work, philosophy, politics, society, language, religion, literature, and the arts.
