Here's a short description of the class and its requirements ...
This seminar will focus on the prevalent issues that Native people face in the twentieth-century. By looking at these present-day issues, from revitalization efforts and government relations to media representations and stereotypes, we will also discuss and learn about the past. In-class discussions will be supplemented with readings, film screenings, and field trips in order to give participants an understanding of the lives of Native people and their story over time. The class will be very open and tailored to students’ wants and needs in order to allow students to bring up issues they are interested in and to also learn from each other.
