NAIS 81.02 American Indian Intellectuals
This seminar surveys some of the prominent voices in American Indian intellectual culture from the 1960s to the present. The seminar will examine four "kinds" of American Indian intellectuals in order to make better sense of what an American Indian intellectual is, and more importantly, what does it mean for one to be part of an American Indian intellectual culture? The course will explore the work of tribal leaders, American Indian scholars, artists and writers, and Native women.
