JJoin Canada Study Tour --  Northwest Native Peoples:
Explore far reaches of Vancouver Island, watch bears, eagle and visit ancient sites.

Field Study COMM 3843This course explores contemporary Native American groups of the Pacific Northwest, paying particular attention to the ways that expressive forms serve as a “lenses” into multiple dimensions of culture. The course relies heavily on fieldwork, including observation of cultural art and artifacts. In particular, the course is oriented around these issues: How do native peoples communicate essential components of their cultures-- to themselves and to people outside their culture group – through traditional and contemporary expressive forms? How does art reflect, reify, and re-create worldview, and how is this significant in our globalizing, postmodern cultural context?
