Class Details

This course provides an interdisciplinary introduction to the growing field of Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS). We will primarily focus on surveying historical and contemporary Indigenous issues in the United States, but we will occasionally draw upon parallels from settler states around the world. We will critically engage a wide variety of source materials, including historical documents, legal texts, films, essays, novels, and photographs. The course will explore Indigenous social and political experiences, histories of settler colonialism, constructions of Indigenous status and identity, intellectual histories, artistic production, gender and sexuality, decolonization, and self-governance. This course will highlight the intellectual breadth of Indigenous studies, introducing the field’s key paradigms, theories, and methods. Because it focuses on cross-cultural interaction and power relations, this course satisfies the Exploring Diversity Initiative (EDI) requirement.
