Dawnland Voices: Exploring Native New England

In this course, we’ll explore New England as many stories. In particular, we’ll engage the connections and dissonances between the multiple stories that live with the land and its people and the central role that New England plays in the storying of the United States itself. Drawing on a range of texts including academic monographs, primary documents, poetry, and film, we will explore the stories that continue to live with New England as both a physical and incorporeal location. In doing so, we will also explore the complicated relationship that Native Studies has to the field of American Studies.
