Section Title:
Native People & Christianity
Section Info:
Native People and Christianity. Meets with AIS 199. This interdisciplinary survey focuses on a fundamental aspect of American religious life: the native encounter with Christianity. Situated at the intersection of native studies and religious studies, this course charts the cultural contexts for native religious history and explores native religious diversity in the contemporary period, particularly the relationship between tribal and Christian traditions in reservation and urban communities. Assigned readings include historical interpretation, theological reflection, philosophical argument, cultural criticism, social analysis, political advocacy, autobiographical narrative, ethnographic description, and fictional stories by contemporary native writers. Class discussions are supplemented by audiovisual materials, guest speakers, and campus events. Students have the opportunity to gain a basic understanding of native religious traditions; to reflect on the broader theoretical and practical questions raised by the intersections of religion, culture, and politics in a diverse and conflicted world; and to develop their critical skills for use in academic, professional, and personal settings.
