CPEC 204 - Sovereignty and Survivance in Native America (4 Cr.)


There are over 560 federally recognized indigenous communities in the contiguous United States and Alaska, each with a distinct collective identity tracing back to time immemorial. Although the course will introduce only a sampling of the rich cultural diversity of the continguous states, intersecting issues of identity, cultural continuity, survivance and adaption will provide some insight into the range of contemporary Native American efforts to preserve and grow their sovereignty and their sense of Peoplehood. Working on individual and group projects, students will engage with the rich tapestry of Native American paradigms of self-determination. Restricted to first-year or sophomore students, or others with instructor permission. Students are limited to one CPE course per semester. Bess.
