| LIBS 632 - NATIVE AMERICANS |
|
This is an interdisciplinary study of Native Americans from the era of European settlement to the present. It seeks to familiarize students not only with the rich and diverse backgrounds of Native groups but also their complex responses to the white man's persistent efforts either to stamp out or romanticize Indianness. Students will explore individual Native cultures and the mythological worlds which have informed them, the history of U.S. Indian policy and the ideological foundations upon which it has been built; and the origins of Native American stereotypes in American culture--notably the Noble and Ignoble Savage--as seen in art, literature, music, and film. They will also have ample opportunity to analyze Native American perspectives on the post-Columbian world, particularly the concerns over what place Indians have within it. Sources will include autobiography, oral history, political essays, music and film.
