This course surveys Native American history from the time of the earliest records to current social and political issues. We will explore Native perspectives on United States histories through readings, images, films, and other sources. Our primary focus will be on tribal experiences -- examined through the words, music, and visual expressions of Native American people -- of origins and migrations, colonialism, resistance, adaptation, survival, self-determination, and transformation.

Using the assigned texts covering the protest movements in the 20th century to the texts written from the perspective of the colonized at the end of the 20th century, students will engage in discussions on decolonization. Students will be encouraged to critically explore issues of interest through two short papers and a 15-20 minute presentation on the topic of interest relating to decolonization for Native Americans in one longer paper. Approaching research from an Indigenous perspective will be encouraged throughout.
