DESCRIPTION
This unit will focus on the art and culture of the various native peoples of North America from before contact to the present. It will look at Indian ways of viewing the world from its creation to the present and how these perspectives have been influenced by Western art and culture. It will look at present day art and culture as both an amalgam of Western and Indian views and as an Indigenous resistance to Western culture.

Visual art, physical art, such as dances and other ceremonies, and especially story telling, which is at the basis of the continuance and change in Indian cultures, will form the core topics of the unit.
