Senior Seminar

This advanced seminar considers a range of Native North American textual production, including non-alphabetic texts, such as wampum and winter counts, and their intertextual representations in plays, novels, and films. An emphasis will be placed on Indigenous language texts, the materiality of texts and textiles, and forms of literacy and writing from pre-contact to the present. An 18- to 20-page research paper will be the culminating project, with smaller research-related assignments along the way.
