EOP Learning Community #11:

A Journey through Native American History and Culture

DESCRIPTION:
This community brings together two fascinating areas of study – “Native American Studies” and “Becoming an Educated Person.” These courses provide a unique look at Native American culture and the popular imagery, philosophy and social issues that make up our own everyday life. Through the exploration of Native American culture and our own cultures, the concept of becoming an educated person can be viewed from different perspectives thus giving greater meaning to the concept of education as a whole. The perceptions we have of our roles as learner/teacher, citizen, person of culture and “human being,” as Native Americans know themselves, will be examined critically as we explore the process of making thoughtful and informed decisions about college education and life itself.
