Cíl
The goal of this seminar is to give the student a broad understanding of the situation of Native Americans in the United States and Canada today, while stripping away many of the stereotypes which are held about this group of peoples, both in North America and in Europe. The student should come away with an understanding of the vibrant and continuing nature of the societies and cultures of this once so-called “disappearing race.”
Osnova
This seminar will be divided into three modules. The first will look at historical relations between Native Americans and the various European/American entities with whom they had to deal, i.e. the U.S. and Canadian governments as well as organizations such as the Hudson's Bay Company and missionary societies. In the second module, we will look at contemporary Native American society through the short stories of the Spokane/Couer d’Alene author Sherman Alexie (The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven) and the particular issues which are of relevance to this unique community. These will include cultural issues (e.g., education, freedom of religion, language preservation), economic (reservation economic development, the impact of gambling, unemployment), legal issues (tribal self-government, land claims) and social issues (alcoholism, drug abuse, etc.). The third module will examine these same issues in scholarly texts, the popular media, etc.
