INDG 4010Native American Plants: Decolonizing Indigenous
Knowledge (4 Credits) Western botanical knowledge tends to be stand-alone and based on a scientific view of the plant as an object of study. Indigenous botanical knowledge is woven throughout the fabric of culture and considers the plant itself as an Elder. We will address the differences between these pathways in terms of cultural factors such as gender, social structure, and food distribution, and in terms of environmental factors such as ecological integrity and biocultural diversity. Discussions and assignments will be based on academic reading, transcriptions of oral histories conveyed by indigenous elders, and interactions with plants. Students will consider relationships between indigenous prophecies, traditional plant knowledge, and contemporary ecological challenges and apply their learning in study of a self-selected Native American plant in cultural context. Communications skills will be developed via a series of related projects, written, oral, and video. Attributes: Basic Communication Gen Ed, Other World Civilization Gn Ed,

INDG 4015Native American Women’s Studies4
This study addresses a specific sub-field in Native American Studies and Women’s and Gender Studies. It addresses Native women’s history and concerns from Native women’s perspectives and examines ways they survive and resist. We examine fictional, historical, and intergenerational stories that illuminate women’s and girls’ experiences, and apply activists’ analyses of contemporary problems in order to contextualize these voices. By examining differences between how women position themselves in Native American Studies and how Native Americans position themselves in Women’s Studies, we analyze paradigmatic differences between a Euro-American focus on gender and class in patriarchy, and a Native American focus arising from egalitarian or matriarchal cultures. We will identify Native American women’s responses to a complex of concerns such as racism and colonialism through different nations as well as a range of activist strategies, from literary to agricultural to political and research Native women’s concerns in students’ own locales.

INDG 4025Roots & Routes of African Diaspora Resistance4
African Diaspora religions such as Voodoo and Santeria are featured in horror films. Why do some people find it so scary? What historical dynamics generated fearful misrepresentations? What do race and gender have to do with it? Global implications of power and privilege and cultural issues such as stereotyping all play roles as we dismantle the terror factor around African religions and consider what that fear obscures. The scope of this course is broad, moving from West Africa, through slavery, and throughout the Americas. It achieves focus, depth, and specificity by following one cultural strand, culminating with texts produced by members of that culture. Using a rich mix of history, the arts, and cultural studies, we study Yoruba influence on American resistance to racism and sexism. Deeper relevance is self-selected by the student as you research any related topic, from religious diversity to arts to politica situations. Prerequisites: Solid writing skills *The three tracks of this course overlap. No more than ONE of these three should be included in a degree program.
