This semester, the topic in Native Studies will be Sovereignty Politics.
The course will survey selected historical moments, geographical and
institutional sites, cases and periods in order to explore the
complexities of life for Native peoples in the United Statesincluding
American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Native Hawaiians, Chamorros, and
American Samoans. We will examine legal issues in relation to the
recognition and assertion of collective rights; treaty rights, land title
and claims, and variations of the federal trust relationship. Through a
focus on contested issues of citizenship and self-governance, students
will learn about self-determination, constitutional development, and
indigenous politics vis-`-vis the states, the US Congress, the US Supreme
Court, and the United Nations. Films and guest lectures will complement
the course readings. |
