This course introduces various intellectual systems that
inform daily life in comtemporary Native American
societies. The Native philosophies and aesthetics of the
Pomo, Apache, Navago, Zuni and Hopi are considered through
analysis of oral histories, personal narratives,
autobiographies and artistic products. Particular focus is
given to how these various philosophical systems inform
cultural constructions of a sense of place, the human body,
personhood, health, illness, gender and prophecy. The course
closes with a look at misappropriations of American Indian
spirituality by New Age practitioners.
