Course lectures and readings will introduce students to a complex history of documenting, collecting, exhibiting, and writing about Native American art that extends further back than one might imagine. Through a close study of the various cultural, institutional, legislative, and methodological approaches that have defined (and continue to inform) the field, we will investigate a growing conceptual shift from an understanding of Indigenous material cultural objects as artifacts, specimens, and types to teachers, relatives, and storytellers. Restricted to Juniors and Seniors, or with permission of instructor. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Junior or Senior class standing.
