Introduction to Native American Studies

With Sara Sutler-Cohen

Look for ETHN 120 or SOC 120 in the Fall 2007 Schedule

This course provides an historic and contemporary perspective on the social, political, and cultural issues of the Indigenous Peoples of North America. Students will be exposed to an overview of American Indian life, including Indian-White relations (past and present), Federal Indian law and policy, Indigenous literature, and the representation of Native peoples in film and television. This course is taught from an Indigenous perspective with the intent of focusing not on “who Indian people were” but on “how Indians came to be who Indian people are.” These concepts will be demonstrated through lectures, readings, multi-media presentations (including film and television clips), possible guest lectures, and library research.
