Native American and Indigenous Studies: An Introduction
HIST 25
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
Though American Indian people make up 1.7% of the U.S. population, their importance outweighs the census numbers. Native American history and politics define critical issues in law, energy, land management, and government, while the culture industries inevitably confront the curious hold that indigenous people have on American culture. American conquest and colonialism invite connection and comparison across a global scale, particularly in settler states such as Canada, Australia, and Aotearoa/New Zealand. This course offers a broad introductory survey of these and other issues as it explores the development and current state of the history-based interdisciplinary field known as Native American and indigenous Studies.
