HS 312 - Lives of The First People: Images And Identities of Native Americans

Institution:

Alverno College

Subject:

Description:

Prereq. Integrated Communication Level 3; one 210-level humanities/ fine arts elective - The student engages in a comparative study of the First People from two specific regions and time frames. She begins her study with an in-depth examination of the First People who inhabit one North American region and era, examining different cultural expressions of art and artifacts, written and oral histories, and religious ritual. The student considers ways that spirituality, mythology and a sense of place, technological change, cultural interdependence, and confrontation shape perspective and influence decision making among native people and between them and the emerging Euro-American culture. She then studies the history and contemporary lives of a second grouping of people, applying more independently the analytical tools and valuing abilities practiced in the first half, and exploring their understanding of what shapes differences and similarities between and among native people through time and place.
