Catalog description

This course will deal with several major issues: One, the U.S.-Canada international border cuts between Native territories due to international negotiations in which Natives had no role. How has the border affected, and how does it continue to affect, their lives? Two, the histories and cultures of Montana's seven reservations and twelve Native groups vary and are complicated. The histories of the people and the reservations will be covered. Three, the course will include bringing in elders from the Hi-Line reservations to tell the cultures, traditions and present issues from their perspectives.
