Throughout the semester, our focus will be on Indigenous writers' literary responses to crucial political issues, including media stereotypes, gender and racial disparities, colonial impositions on tribal autonomy, and environmental injustice. The assigned readings encompass an array of mediums, genres, historical periods, and tribal national affiliations, with a particular emphasis on creative works authored by Indigenous women. Additionally, students will be acquainted with the methodologies and ethical considerations which shape the field of Indigenous Literary Studies.
