UCOR-1600 : Indigenous Peoples of North West
University Core | University Core | UG
If the land beneath Seattle University could speak, what would it tell us? What account would it offer of its first inhabitants and their legacies? This course Introductionduces students to the culture, art, stories, and experiences of the Indigenous Peoples living in the areas now known as Oregon, Washington, Montana, British Columbia, and Alaska. It reveals excluded stories and brings students into contact with present-day representatives of these cultures. It seeks both to cultivate a more careful attitude toward our present, immediate space and to use local history as a microcosm for thematic interests.
