Section Title:
Intro American Indian Studies
Section Info:
American Indians are among the least-understood groups in America, due in part to the way that they are presented in educational contexts such as elementary schools and in social contexts such as feature films. In this course, students will have the opportunity to learn about American Indians as we engage in conversations about the history and vision(s) of American Indian Studies. Students will read the work of Native scholars (including Vine Deloria, Jr., Elizabeth Cook-Lynn, Beatrice Medicine, Philip Deloria, Tsianina Lomawaima, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Karen Swisher) from a range of disciplines. Through their work, these scholars are, in various ways, �talking back� to the status quo.
