This course provides a thematic introduction to contemporary (1960 to
present) forms of Native North American Indian Art drawing from historic
(pre and post contact) precedents. Thus, while a broad geographical frame
of reference is addressed and specific historic eras identified, course
discussion and lectures are generated from the conceptual themes of contact,
conflict, exchange, appropriation and re-appropriation of American Indian
imagery, materials, and ideas, rather than form the more descriptive and
abstract categories such as Southwest painting or Plains beadwork.
