A primary objective of this course is to examine the structural and disciplinary constraints systemically placed on Native Americans and Indigenous cultures. The course will examine identity, sovereignty, Indigenous-White relations, federal law and policy, tribal governments, and art, literature, and film from Indigenous perspectives. Students will explore dominant academic and media representations and research practices and explore the decolonial research practices offered by contemporary Native American and Indigenous scholars, artists, and educators. The course offers an academic concentration of Indigenous learning communities, leadership, and the continual building of Native Nations. At the center of the academic study is Native American and Indigenous perspectives and the sovereignty of Native nations and the cultures of Native peoples.Usually HeldTue 9:35am–11:00am, 12:00pm–3:05pm, Mon 9:35am–11:00am
