Indigenous Activism in North America

Graduate / Professional

This seminar explores the outpouring of recent scholarly work in the field of Native American activism and invites students to contribute to it. Organized on the 100th anniversary of the passage of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, this seminar expands current approaches within Native American and Indigenous Studies that often emphasize questions of structure vs. agency; domination vs. resistance; or continuity over adaptation. It seeks to explore alternative possibilities to the binaries that occasionally obscure the under-recognized intellectual traditions motivating Native American and Indigenous activism. HTBA
