TOPIC: 'Indigenous Ecologies'. This section for Undergraduate Students for 3 credit hours. This interdisciplinary seminar explores the relationship between human experience and natural environment in native North America.

Students have the opportunity to gain a basic understanding of ecological traditions among American Indians; to conduct a research project focusing on a particular theme, issue, region, or community; and to develop their critical skills for use in academic, professional, and personal settings.
