ETHS 2300 - Introduction to Native American/Indigenous Studies

3 unit(s)

The lower-division interdisciplinary course examines how Native American/Indigenous Studies emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s during an intensified political context in the U.S. and around the world. Students, faculty, and community members organized to improve their realities, which included establishing and institutionalizing the field in higher education. Grounded in this history, the course introduces students to: 1) the origins and contours of Native American/Indigenous Studies; 2) the social context that influenced Native American/Indigenous protest movements of the 1960s; 3) activist movements of Native American/Indigenous communities through regional, national, and/or global perspectives; and 4) the value of Native American/Indigenous scholarship, creativity, and social change.

Satisfies G.E. area D2 and the Multicultural Requirement.
