NASX 550-801: Native America: Dispelling the MythsOnline |
Course Description:Earn an on-line NAS Graduate Certificate http://eu.montana.edu/online/degrees/NatAm.htm This course is designed around a series of assumptions—“myths”—commonly held by non-Indians and sometimes Indians alike. When unexamined, these assumptions undermine our ability to communicate across cultures, and ultimately form the basis for some of the worst forms of racism and stereotyping, even between neighbors. Students enrolled in this course will be asked to explore a different myth and its corresponding truths each week. Through assigned readings and videos, online conversations with fellow students, and creative projects, we will wrestle with these preconceptions while learning the most basic elements of American Indian—which is to say American—history. Teachers who need training to fulfill Montana's Indian Education for All mandate will especially benefit from taking this course. For informational flyer click here. Meeting Place and Times: Online.
