NAS 330 - Indigenous Belief & Religion

3 Credits


Students investigate a variety of Indigenous belief and religious traditions from across the globe, including aspects of shamanism, animism, and totemism.  Looking both at the historical evolution of these traditions and their living and revitalized traditions today, students examine belief as a performance of shared values and cultural worldview.  Students investigate hegemonic threats to Indigenous religion, including through the use of policy and cultural appropriation.
