This seminar offers an interdisciplinary survey of what might also be called tribalist autoinscriptions: nonfiction prose by native authors documenting their own communities. Commonly identified as examples of historiography, ethnography, or autobiography, these texts often transcend conventional genre distinctions in ways that are both intellectually interesting and culturally significant. Assigned readings feature representative tribal autographs from the 19th and 20th centuries; selected critical essays by scholars working in a variety of humanistic and social scientific disciplines introduce useful theoretical perspectives and analytical methodologies. Class discussions are supplemented by audiovisual materials, including documentary films by native filmmakers portraying their own communities. Students have the opportunity to learn more about the native experience by examining it through the lenses of six distinctive tribal autographs; to conduct focused research into the historical, cultural, and literary traditions of an existing tribal community; to explore the problem of textual representation through relevant scholarship in history, anthropology, literary studies, and other fields; and to develop their critical skills for use in academic, professional, and personal settings.
