    Description
    In this course, students examine the indigenous inhabitants of North America from prehistoric times until the present. Archaeology, cultural ecology, linguistics, ethnohistory, and ethnography provide evidence for the unique cultures which have flourished in this region of the continent since the end of the Pleistocene. Contemporary issues in Native American studies, such as the ownership and repa- triation of archaeological remains and Indian gaming, will also be explored.
