In this class, students will learn about Native people and events,
which took place in the 1900s.  American Indians' cultural
perspectives will be one of the class objectives.  In part, we will
concentrate on the differences of Native and non-Native views on
topics, which are not limited to health, ethnic identity, education
(boarding/public schools), economy, politics, gender, religions,
pre-history, history, future, enculturation, acculturation,
assimilation, and so forth.  The end results are to undo stereotypes;
correct some historical mis-information and providing more accurate
Native viewpoints about themselves during the twentieth century.

Thus far, three books are scheduled to be use, some chapters are
written by American Indian authors, which will help alleviate some
historical inaccuracy and clarifying key points.  Periodically,
additional reading assignments will be distributed, i.e., newspaper
clippings, journal articles, web sites and others. There will be two
exams (mid-term & final), a ten-page research paper (20 pages for
graduate students), and four short assignments.
