Examples of Honors College American Cultures ColloquiaHC 444HInstructor Rennard Strickland HC AMERICAN CULTURES COLLOQUIUM "Native American Law and Policy" Native American Law and Policy explores both contemporary and historic American Indian law and policy with focus on both tribal and federal perspective. Students will create and evaluate specific policy proposals through a series of small papers and a final document policy recommendation. Within the framework of policy analysis, students will identify a policy area, outline the historic policy, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the historic policy, propose a new policy designed to correct the weaknesses and demonstrate how their proposed policy will address the major policy concerns. The class will, from time to time, be organized as a congressional Indian committee charged with recommending and adopting new Native American policy. Among policy areas under consideration will be: education, health care, cultural programs, economic development, natural resources, housing, land and water use, trust, jurisdiction, criminal and family law, taxation, hunting, fishing and gathering rights, property and governmental services. Materials to be read will include cases, statutes and treaties as well as primary and secondary analytical reviews and historic studies. Texts will include: Felix Cohen's Handbook of Federal Indian Law (selected sections) and Rennard Strickland's Tonto's Revenge: Reflections On American Indian Culture And Policy. |
