IN 130 OR FA 110, HUM 150, PSY 101, SSC 101, SC 118, and SC 120; Developing a Global Perspective Level 2; Effective Citizenship Level 2 - To many of us, a world with shrinking borders is simply a metaphor to clarify our experience with instant communication and rapid travel. For indigenous people, the process of globalization is experienced more acutely and with profound ramifications. This course examines the juxtaposition of our world with the world inhabited by indigenous people. As the First People, they have experiences and traditions that reach beyond recorded time, yet they are forced to live in and adjust to a world that at best ignores and at worst destroys their way of life. The student examines this relationship through historical, political, geographical, cultural, and environmental contexts. She learns from and about indigenous people of the Arctic Circle, of the Amazon basin, and from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. She connects with organizations that fight to preserve indigenous rights and studies how the media portray their stories. In the process of discovering the hidden voices of our global elders, she learns what it takes to become an informed, educated, and active citizen of the world.
