Comment/Description

From the first encounters with early settlers in the 17th-century to contemporary forms of protest, Indigenous nations throughout the United States have always taken a stand against dispossession, cultural uprooting, forced assimilation, and environmental racism. Notions about land have been and still are at the heart of these conflicts. During this seminar, students will gain a basic understanding of American history as a history of Indigenous peoples, they will learn about modes of resistance to political oppression as well as acquire knowledge about relevant concepts from the field of Native American Studies. By way of applying close reading techniques in order to analyze as well as contextualize selected documents of protest from the 1700s to the 21st century, students will familiarize themselves with forms and cultural narratives of Indigenous acts of resistance.

Course requirements: to be announced.
