Using the lens of ethnic studies, and considering the contributions of anthropology, history, and human rights studies, we will examine both historical and contemporary Native American struggles for social justice, with a focus on social movements since the 1960s. Students will analyze these movements and Native American history through an intersectional analysis that interrogates categories of identity and power, including race, ethnicity, culture and culture change, religion, and gender. This course also explores a range of theoretical concepts and social processes, including ethnocentrism, sovereignty and self-determination, citizenship, religion and spirituality, and human rights. With an emphasis on the voices of Native American activists and writers, we will pay special attention to historical and contemporary policies that have affected Native American land use, religion, and language.
