Introduction to Native American & Indigenous Studies

Course #: NAIS 278L, Class #: 2103, Section #: 01

Description

This course is an introduction to key issues and themes in Indigenous Studies and to issues of concern to native peoples today. The majority of the case studies used will refer to Native American/Indigenous Nations from North America, as these nations have the closest relationships with the modern U.S. and are those to whom we have the greatest responsibilities. Other case studies will be drawn from South and Central America, the Pacific (particularly Hawaii, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and Australia) and Asia.
