Description:

The resilience of Native North Americans continues to amaze anthropologists and those who once proclaimed them certain for extinction. What can now be acclaimed as a remarkable revival of dead Indians, these cultures are rich and thriving. They maintain their world views but in a drastically changed and contemporary setting. Many tribes own casinos, hotels, resorts, and other successful businesses. Not only are the values and their heritage alive and well, they are quite successful in reviving the formerly outlawed traditions of the past such as Potlatch, Medicine Lodge, and Ghost Dance. This course is taught from a Native American perspective and addresses both past and current issues that affect their culture, heritage, and tribal sovereignty. Part of the sociology/anthropology concentration and minor. It may also be taken as an elective. Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
