    Description
    This course seeks to support students in developing a foundation in the discipline of Native American Studies. The primary emphasis of this course is to engage distinguished Native American Studies scholars, methodologies, Native epistemologies, and place-based learning to explore central concepts within the discipline. Some of these concepts include settler colonialism, sovereignty, self-determination, treaties, trust responsibilities, facets of colonization, paths towards decolonization, and the nuances of government-to-government relationships. Students will engage an interdisciplinary and intersectional lens to examine the Native American principles of environment, race, class, gender, sexuality, decolonization, and survival as it relates to social justice and the Native American experience in North America.
