L82 EnSt 3410Native American Storytelling - Healthy Land Practice3.0 Units
Description:The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. - Chief Seattle The history of this country has had many stories and many practices which shaped the landscape pre-colonization. These Indigenous practices regularly teach methods of living within the world and can provide significant insight into current practices to manage public and private lands. This course looks to examine some of those stories, cultural beliefs, and Native American life practices which have shaped the land. For example the practice of valuing and gaining insight from natural elements such grain and fire bring one into harmony with the earth. Many people, from pre-1492 to the present and agencies, such as the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management have changed the landscape into what we have today. Through this course we will look at common agency-based practices which have caused harm to the earth and current indigenous inspired practices designed to restore a healthy eco-system. The final portion of this course will not only look at these positive outcomes of integration of indigenous practices in the environment, but to look at additional positive health outcomes in regards to individuals living within their environment. Enrollment will be manual from the waitlist.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
