GEOG 435: Cultural Survival: Indigenous People's Rights

The School of Global Integrative Studies is offering a new course in Spring 2022 on cultural survival of indigenous peoples. We look forward to bringing in guest speakers with knowledge and experience across a variety of topics, including contemporary environmental issues, land acknowledgement, language survival and revival, reclaiming foodways, and voting and representation in government. Throughout the semester, we will discuss numerous examples of historical and contemporary challenges that threaten the cultural survival of indigenous peoples, and how this survival is hard-earned through adaptation and resistance, often with a backdrop of discrimination and marginalization.
