From the U.S. Constitution to MTV, Urban Outfitters, and #NoDAPL, this course traces the history and legacies of American Indian law and policy. Using a case study approach, students read legal documents alongside film, television, literature, blogs, poetry, photography, fashion, news articles, manifestos, and Twitter to explore the ways in which American Indian law and policy manifest in the daily lives of contemporary Indigenous people and Native nations.
