Class Details
Popular narratives of American Indian history often conclude with the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre and fail to acknowledge the endurance and resurgence of modern Indigenous nations. In this readings seminar, we will historicize modern social and political issues in Native America and examine the processes of resistance, renewal, accommodation, and change from the reservation era to the present. Course topics will include: treaty rights and tribal sovereignty, federal Indian policy, social movements, reservation governance, economic development, cultural revitalization, conflict over natural resources, identity and belonging, and urban experiences. We will also reflect upon the various interdisciplinary sources and interdisciplinary methods of Indigenous studies.
