Welcome - Issues in the Study of Indigenous Peoples of North America SOSA 3185   Issues in the Study of Indigenous Peoples of North America
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This class deals with issues relating to Indigenous peoples, settler-colonialism, and Indigenous-settler relations in North America. Topics covered will vary from year to year, but may include: Treaty negotiations, rights, and responsibilities; social and cultural continuity and change; land use, dispossession and claims; Indigenous sovereignty and nation-to-nation relations with settler governments; social movements such as Idle No More or Water Protectors; colonial policies and their impacts; or the dynamics and limitations of Truth and Reconciliation. Bearing in mind that anthropological and sociological research has both supported and hindered Indigenous peoples’ self-determination, this course also explores the challenges of building collaborative research that foregrounds Indigenous priorities, positionalities, and participation. Approved with International Development Studies and Law, Justice, and Society programs.
