This interdisciplinary course provides an overview of Native American and Indigenous histories, cultures, and contemporary issues, while focusing on key themes such as sovereignty, settler colonialism, environmental justice, cultural revitalization, and Indigenous resistance. Students will explore a variety of materials to understand how Indigenous peoples have navigated settler colonialism and articulated visions for self-determination. Emphasis will be placed on centering Indigenous voices, worldviews, and epistemologies, while critically examining intersections of gender, race, and land. This course encourages students to think critically about resilience, identity, and the ongoing impacts of colonization in a global context.
This noncredit class meets with a regular University of Utah credit course.
