    Description
    This course introduces students to Native American politics and policy from the treaty making process that formed the foundation of contemporary tribal sovereignty to legal cases and precedents that impact Native American lands and people. The course will also explore how Native people have both petitioned for access into the American polity and actively resisted assimilation. Emphasis will be given to twelve recognized Kumeyaay tribal governments in the United States and four recognized Kumeyaay/Kumiai tribal governments in Baja California, Mexico. Also listed as POSC 166. Not open to students with credit in POSC 166. (CSU/UC) (AA/AS-4, Cal-GETC-4)
