These will be placed within historical context and key events and changes including colonization, and continued presence as self-determining political actors in a contemporary multicultural region, with a focus on U.S. policy toward native people, Native sovereignty, treaty rights, and creation of more equitable education, health, and economic outcomes with Indian self-determination.
More specifically, the class analyzes and reflects on narratives of resistance and reclaiming agency/power by various indigenous groups of the Pacific Northwest in the context of historical and current oppression.
