Description

This course will explore the way that Native Americans writers and artists represent indigenous culture in literature and the arts. Students will study poetry, fiction, film, and visual art made by Native Americans from a variety of cultures and will reflect on the way people with knowledge of growing up "Indian" in America define that experience. Students can write a paper that explores how culture is represented in the work of an indigenous artist, writer, or film-maker. Indigenous students can choose to produce creative works that represent their cultural experience and write about that experience in their final paper.
