Description

This course will explore connections between life, land and waterways in Michigan. Through research, observation and storytelling you will learn the history of the current living landscape which includes mound builders, woodland confederacies, trade routes, territories and today’s sovereign nations. Using the lens of multiple disciplines including, Native American Studies, Ethnography, Ethnobotany, Anthropology and Linguistics we will trace the various ways people have lived with and sustained cultural identity in the region. We will begin by learning to see the land and surrounding system of life through the lens of Anishinaabemowin, the oldest language of the region still in use. We will work as a class team to trace the legal history of Michigan’s tribal nations through a wide range of primary sources including songs, stories maps, treaties, articles and excerpts from books.

NOTE: This class is open only to enrolled GLACE Program students. For more information, please see https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/glwc/about-glwc/.
