Description
This is an anti-racism course focusing on understanding historical
and current relations between white Americans and Native Americans
with an emphasis on Lakota/white relations as this course is taught
in South Dakota. Inter-group theory will be the primary lens through
which cross-cultural contact will be examined. The course will
emphasize cross-cultural sensitivity rather than Lakota cultural
competence. Lakota history and culture will be part of the course,
but those components will serve to better understand inter-group
experience and racism. Fulfills the intercultural awareness core
course requirement. (3 s.h.)
