About
Students from anthropology, archaeology, history, museum studies, Native American and Indigenous studies will explore the deeper meanings of Indigenous cultural heritage expressed in both tangible culture and intangible customs, values, practices, artistic expressions, oral tradition, ritual, memory, sense of place, and identity. Students will consider deeper meanings embedded in heritage and the relationships, past and present, that define meaning within contemporary Indigenous communities and complex historical relationships with settler cultures. Relying heavily on the scholarship of Indigenous authors, this course also considers the theoretical, ethical, respectful, and practical implications of knowledge production, intellectual property, and appropriation.
