Native American Studies Program 39: American Indian Tribal Law and Governance
3.00 Credits
Dartmouth College
10S: 10A This course will examine the roles of tribal governments in the formation of internal and external policies affecting the lives of Native American people, the basis for their political power historically and in contemporary society, and their structure and functions. Particularly, the course will focus on the cultural and legal dilemmas posed by tribal governments: how they maintain cultural legitimacy in the face of colonial cultural imposition, how they articulate retained rights in a system of shared sovereignty, and the problems Native Americans face in building stronger political systems as they struggle to maintain and retain sovereignty. Open to all students. Duthu.

Native American Studies Program 41: Native American Literature and the Law
3.00 Credits
Dartmouth College
09W: 2A 10W: 10A The Acoma Pueblo poet Simon Ortiz once noted that "because of the insistence to keep telling and creating stories, Indian life continues, and it is this resistance against loss that has made life possible." The regenerative and re-affirming force of tribal stories has been most severely tested when confronted by the overwhelming and often destructive power of Federal law in Indian affairs. The complex matrix of legal and political relations between Indian tribes and the Federal government thus serves as singularly important arena to examine contested notions of national identity, sovereignty, relationships to lands and people, and concepts of justice. Students will read literary texts produced by Native authors and legal texts involving Indian tribes in an effort to understand how the Native production of stories contributes to the persistence of tribalism in contemporary Native America.Open to Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Duthu, Goeman (09W), Duthu (10W).

Native American Studies Program 47: Contemporary Native American Poetry
3.00 Credits
Dartmouth College
09S, 10S: 10 As Muscogee poet, Joy Harjo, expresses in the introduction of the anthology, "Reinventing the Enemy's Language", Native peoples are "...still dealing with a holocaust of outrageous proportion in these lands...Many of us at the end of the century are using the 'enemy's language' with which to tell our truths, to sing, to remember ourselves during these troubled times." This course examines the ways contemporary American Indian poets employ literary gestures of resistance to the ongoing effects of colonization, and how their poetry contributes to the survival of tribal memory and the regeneration of tribal traditions and communities. We examine the influence of oral tradition and ritual life upon contemporary poets, as well as the position Native American poetic "voice" occupies in contemporary postcolonial diOpen to all classes.

Dartmouth College
08F: 2A This course will explore a variety of approaches to studying environmental issues in Indian Country (in both the United States and Canada). While a number of academic disciplines will be investigated over the semester, students should form a synthetic understanding of the issues scholars face when taking on "Indian" and "environmental" issues in their studies. We will focus on three key issues: (1) The impact of the 'invented' Indian on understandings of Indigenous environmental practices, (2) The differences between Native and non-Native approaches to Indigenous environmental knowledge; (3) Resistances to colonialism and the maintenance of Indigenous knowledge within contemporary political and legal conteOpen to all classes.
