  1. ETHN 100Culture and Native American Experience Week 3 Session 1

  2. Last Session’s Goals and Activities • “Defined” race and ethnicity by translating significant passages from Omi and Winant’s piece on racial formation. • Introduced crosscutting themes • Went over the first assignment • Prepared for our first reflexive commentary

  3. Today’s Goals and Activities • Reflect on our first reflexive commentaries • Collaborate on inventory of key terms in groups by building from our online analysis of Frontline: The Spirit of Crazy Horse. • Define and explore key dimensions of culture bylistening to a brief lecture and discussing “The Nation of the Blind”

  4. Reflexive Commentaries • Lots of excellent work. Impressed by what I see so far and appreciate the effort. • Full credit this time. • Next time: Responses should reference the book and include a citation or citations (page #). • Goals of RC’s: • Practice critical reading and writing skills. • Practice using academic language. • Connect ideas from class to events, characters, and ideas from the book. • Build intellectual community within our class. • Data for me on what’s “sticking” and how effectively I am teaching certain course content.

  5. Inventory of Key Terms • Work together in your groups of 5. • Share out on your analysis of Frontline: The Spirit of Crazy Horse. • Situate the key terms from the video onto the Inventory of Key Terms. Come to consensus. • Terms: "Stands around the Fort Indians”, Traditionalists, AIM, BIA, Goon Squad, Black Hills, Ghost Dance, Dick Wilson, Gold, Buffalo, Leonard Peltier, FBI, Mount Rushmore, Pine Ridge Reservation, Alcoholism • Be prepared to share out.

  6. Defining Culture • Culture is talked about in a variety of ways in numerous disciplines. For the sake of our course, we will adopt this definition (Nieto, 2012): • Culture is ever-changing. Culture is: • represented by values, traditions, social and political relationships, worldview • shared by a group of people • and bounded by a combination of common history, geographic location, language, social class, religion, sexual orientation, and other dimensions.

  7. HG Wells, “The Country of the Blind” • What differences between the Nunez and the people he encountered did you notice with regards to • Values (what’s important/not important) • Rituals (patterns of behavior and activity) • Social and political relationships (how people are organized) • Worldviews? (belief systems)

  8. Next Session: European Contact • RN on Zinn, Ch. 1 • Reminder: Writing Assignment 1 is due 2/20 (Section 03) or 2/21 (Sections 08 and 09).
