This course will introduce students to various forms of Indigenous textualities and the connections between them. Commonly, Indigenous literatures are often placed in binaries and in a western chronological timeline, from oral to written and from traditional to modern. Students will read poetry, oral stories, newspapers, zines, and textiles amongst other forms to expand understandings of Indigenous literatures. While the themes will vary, they will include identity, history, and politics. Course will be taught in English and readings will be provided in English, Spanish, and various Indigenous languages.
