Focuses on Native American cultures and their ancestors in prehistoric, historic, and contemporary contexts. Anthropological evidence, including archaeology and ethnography, and indigenous evidence, including customs and oral histories and traditions, are used to create holistic perspectives about both early Native American cultures and cultures today. Later changes resulting from contact, westernization, and assimilation are investigated. Recommended: College-level reading and writing skills.
