This Land Was Theirs M. Annette Jaimes, ed.
Indian cultures have a rich history and they have many different forms and qualities.
This class focuses on knowledge of Indian cultures today and also explores the richness and diversity of their heritage. Students study the tremendous potential of human culture to reflect diverse ways of knowing the world and to organize social systems. They explore the history, language, culture and society of a variety of Indian groups. Students can expect to leave the class knowing about the issues which face Indian cultures today and the ideas held by major Indian scholars. They will be introduced to the culture and heritage of at least one culture from each of 10 major cultural regions of North America.
