4 credits This course deals with Native Americans and Alaskan Native cultures and history, both prior to and immediately following, contact with Europeans during the past five hundred years. The course is divided into two general segments: First, the course will explore Native cultures in their traditional settings, before the arrival of outsiders. It surveys the great diversity of lifestyles, belief systems, languages, social and political structures, and creative expressions, which characterize the numerous tribal communities of the North American continent. Second, the course focuses on the major European encounters with native societies, beginning with the expedition of 1492 and extending into the Twentieth Century. The disparate responses and resistance strategies of various indigenous populations confronting the ideological and physical intrusion of Europeans is studied.

4 credits This course focuses on nineteenth century United States and Canadian federal-native relations. In the nineteenth century, the United States and Canadian federal governments took different yet similar paths in how they dealt with the sovereign Native peoples within their borders. While no single course can adequately deal with the complexity of the subject matter surveyed, it is organized to help understand the public policies and events shaping tribal life in North America during this period. In the nineteenth century, paternalistic attitudes held by the dominant culture, created federal government policies whose effects can still be found today in the lived experiences of Native Americans.

This course also focuses on various positive interactions and alliance-building relationships between Native Americans, the dominant society, and other groups of people of color in the U.S. ES 241, 242, or 243 courses may be taken at any time, in any order, with no prerequisites.

4.00 Credits
4 credits This course is designed for students to experience the art of teaching and learning in the oral tradition adopted from the Native American traditions of the instructor. Students will be required to learn the socio/cultural context in which some Native American stories are based. Students will gain an understanding of the term "tribal" by doing some research on their own ethnic tribal roots and compare it to the definition presented by the instructor. Rather than learning different tribal stories and discussing them, students will learn the social, cultural and environmental grounds for Native American stories, create their own stories, present them to class and the class will learn them (all done orally), and then discuss the stories.

4.00 Credits
4 credits This course examines the economic causes of social stratification within the labor market based upon class, race and gender. The course uses a political economy perspective to examine issues such as earnings and employment disparities, uneven poverty rates, differential access to housing, health and education. We will examine how the market both removes and produces obstacles, which restrict many social groups from fully participating in the promise of the 'American Dream.' We will examine the common goals, aspirations and struggles shared by diverse social groups, while recognizing that socio-economic discrimination is still an enduring and measurable characteristic of market economies. Attention will be placed upon gaining an understanding of the impact of discrimination from the perspective of the affected groups through firsthand accounts.
