ANTH 261 |
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 States - including 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-ŕ-vis the states, the US Congress, the US Supreme Court, and the United Nations. Films and guest lectures will complement the course readings. |
