ANTH 321

American Indian Women

This course analyses issues effecting contemporary American Indian women living and working in rural and urban communities throughout North America. In reading about lives, achievements, and contributions of American Indian women, often in their own words, we will see how they traveled the road to where they find themselves today and how their origins and traditions helped to shape their lives. The course will look at issues dealing with the roles of American Indian women within their societies, in education, in tribal politics, health issues, and stereotypes that persist in non-Indian societies
