Literature & Arts of Indigenous America

Class Description

Literature and Arts of Indigenous America: The Northwest Coast Our first dip into the living stream of Native American culture begins with a memoir, the oldest form of indigenous writing in English. Intensely personal, yet filled with the legends and lifeways of the Tlingit people of Southeast Alaska, the award winning Blonde Indian is brave, compelling and gorgeous. We'll deepen our immersion with a selection of Northwest coast poetry and a look at the region's extraordinary art. Texts: Blonde Indian: An Alaska Native Memoir by Ernestine Hayes When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through, a poetry anthology edited by Joy Harjo that we will continue to use in upcoming LLC classes in fall and winter. Both books are available used and new online. ZOOM Tuesdays: 11:00am - 12:15pm Class Limit: 35
