PHI 265 - Studies in Native American Philosophy

Institution:

University of Hartford

Subject:

Description:

An intensive inquiry into Native American values, epistemologies, concepts of identity and community, responsibility, and the environment. Content varies from semester to semester. This structure allows us to offer a number of particular courses, focusing on the worldviews of Native people. Students can study the Lakota/Dakota, Pueblo, Hopi, Navaho, Apache, Iroquois, or Pequot worldviews. Since Native cultures are intimately connected with place, every appropriate attempt is made to have a travel component for these courses. Reservation visits are arranged for students to meet tribal elders and learn oral histories. Readings by Native American thinkers are required. These courses approach Native cultures on their terms and as they would like to have their worldviews understood. All courses are designed and executed in consultation with Native scholars or tribal elders.
