In this course we will read a range of Native American writing—old, new, fiction, poetry, children’s literature, and even material objects like baskets—with a special focus on New England. We’ll also use and think about some of the new technologies that are changing the ways that Native and non- Native people alike write, read, circulate, and make sense of literature. This class is writing- and reading-intensive, and much of our work will be conducted online: blogging, tweeting, researching, mapping, analyzing, archiving. You do not need any special computer savvy to take this class, but you do need a willingness to learn, to sign up for new accounts, and to look for answers online and through peers. You do not need to be an expert in American Indian history, but you do need to be prepared to read a lot. This course satisfies the post-1800 and “Race” requirements for the English major, and is cross-counted with Women’s Studies.
