ETH110: Introduction to American Indian Studies

This class examines the politics, cultures, histories, representation, and study of the Native peoples of North America, with a primary focus on the United States and local tribal communities. Although broad in cultural and geographic scope, the course does not attempt to summarize the diverse cultures of the several hundred Native groups of the continent. Instead, we focus on several key issues in the lives of, and scholarship about, American Indian/Native American/First Nations/Indigenous peoples in North America.
