Section Info: Leaders in American Indian Studies observe that Native Americans remain among the least-understood groups, not only within the general public, but also among university scholars, administrators, and policymakers. This lack of understanding, in large part, is due to the fact that most of what has been written about Native peoples has been written by individuals who are not themselves Native American, or by individuals with little substantive or unbiased information about who Native people are. Layered on that is what people believe they know about Native Americans based upon representations of Native Americans in popular culture that offer narrow and biased depictions that suggest Native peoples no longer exist. In this course, you will have the opportunity to learn about Native American cultures in present and past contexts as you explore the history and vision(s) of American Indian Studies as it exists today. And, you will gain skills that help you view Native representations with a critical eye.
