Kunepeum (welcome) to the Native American and Indigenous Studies Introductory Course. This course is an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of Indigenous Studies as it explores the complexity and diversity of Native peoples and cultures. We will primarily be looking through the lens of the Americas, but will occasionally consider Indigenous cultures in other parts of the world. Many of you may come into the course with certain preconceptions which often are formed by the erroneous ways Native peoples and cultures have been presented in historical accounts, literature, films, children’s books, television, sports, and popular culture. Often these images and misrepresentations reduce Native peoples to a monolithic character from a culture in the past. This course aims to dispel those myths and show the resilience and continuous presence of Indigenous peoples. In the course we will come to understand the histories, events, issues, and ways of being in Indigenous cultures, and open our minds to new ways of thinking about them. We learn about relationships to land, settler colonialism, representations, justice, and local Indigenous communities.
