ANTH 424 - Sacagawea:Truth&Legend

Institution:

Eastern Oregon University

Subject:

Description:

A course designed to help students explore the images of Sacagawea and other Native American women in United States history and culture. Sacagawea was the young Shoshone woman who, along with her husband and infant son, joined the Lewis and Clark expedition in North Dakota and accompanied them to the Pacific Ocean and back. We will examine how her presence on this historic journey has been reported and interpreted over the generations, and what this reveals about non-Indian Americans' views of native women and their relationships with others, especially white men. Prerequisite: None, but students are strongly encouraged to have had previous experience with anthropology, sociology, history, or other social sciences. Also, strong writing skills. Student must have at least junior standing to register for this course.
