Cultural Adaptation of Native Americans: The Pueblo and Plains "Indians" Sociology/Anthropology 329 Dr. Keith A. Roberts Spring Term, 2012 Hanover College Office: FOB 203 Office Phone: 866-7353 Home Phone: 866-2449 COURSE FOCUS AND OBJECTIVES In this course students will: • • • • explore differences between Native American and Anglo cultures. discover variabilities between the cultures of diverse Native American tribes. investigate cultural adaptations of Native Americans to the natural environment. explore cultural adaptations of Native Americans to the intrusion and dominance of Anglo culture, including diffusion of material and nonmaterial elements from Anglo culture, attempts at assimilation to the dominating European culture, and defensive reactions against white dominance. • compare and contrast the cultural adaptations of the Southwestern pueblo tribes with those of the "plains Indians." • learn to critique a museum exhibit and be able to describe the sociological context of museums as institutions in the modern world. For those who have never experienced the spectacular scenery and unique topography of the Southwest, have never taken a hike in the desert, have never walked softly on the Sacred Earth of a pueblo village, have never admired the delicate artistry of Kiowa-Apache painters or Navajo potters, have never climbed into an ancient Kiva, have never been awed by the wonder of seeing an Anasazi cliff dweller home, or have not visited the great sipapu (place of origin/ emergence) that Anglos call the Grand Canyon, the trip offers educational benefits which cannot be measured by traditional educational standards. COURSE PROCEDURE This course is explicitly designed as a Spring term course. It includes many diverse teaching methodologies, including some rather non-traditional ones: a simulation, on-site lectures at museums and "Indian" reservations, videos, discussions with museum curators, note-taking on museum exhibits, oral history with Native American informants, and many group discussions. However, the non-traditional format should not imply to anyone that this is a less rigorous course intellectually. Rather, the students and instructor will together be exploring issues and learning inductively. We are partners in a learning experience, but partners in a adventure for which I bear responsibility for maintaining academic standards. I expect each person to pursue an independent line of research and to produce a respectable paper which we would all be proud to publish for the larger college community. Readings will be assigned for specific class periods and students are expected to come prepared to ask questions and discuss the assigned material. Students should be learning to take themselves and their colleagues seriously as scholars. This is a collaborative course in which the quality of our product (our term papers) will depend on the vigor of the stimulation from the peer culture in which we work. COURSE REQUIREMENTS Required Reading • Robert M. Utley. The Lance and the Shield: The Life and Times of Sitting Bull. • Edward P. Dozier. The Pueblo Indians of North America. • Ralph Andrist. "Nits Make Lice." Chapter 3 in The Long Death. (pp. 69-96) [on reserve in the library] • Specific works on the plains tribe or the issue you investigate in depth. (See appendix.) Recommended Reading • Joseph Marshall III, The Journey of Crazy Horse: A Lakota History. Examination: There will be one examination over common reading material. An Intellectual Journal: During the trip, each student will keep an intellectual journal of insights and observations. Entries should be made every day. These journals will be turned into the instructor every third day during the trip and again at the end of the trip. The final journal entry, due the day we arrive back in Hanover, will reflect on the net educational effect of the course, including personal reflections on how the course has modified the student's thinking and/or world-view. A Term Paper: Each student will submit a research paper comparing the cultural adaptations of plains tribes with those of pueblo Indians, The adaptations should explore adaptations to environmental conditions and to contacts with — and diffusion from — European peoples. Papers should be typed with double spacing. Quotations and other references should be cited and a bibliography included. The mechanics of good written work are crucial to how well you perform. Organization, logical argumentation, clarity of expression, and correct grammatical construction all contribute to the overall level of expression of your thoughts. Inability to master the conventions of writing will undermine your credibility with the reader of your work. Therefore, mechanics and style will be taken into account in grading. A peer review draft will be due a day before the completed final paper is due and all students will be involved in helping each other polish their final draft. Failure to have a draft completed for peer review 2 will affect the final grade. Participation in reviewing and improving the quality of peer papers is a requirement of the course. Your audience should be other undergraduate sociology and history students. The criteria for evaluation will be 1) ability to formulate a clear thesis and support that thesis with accurate supportive evidence, 2) demonstration of an understanding of the way cultures change and adapt to surrounding circumstances and forces, 3) sophistication of the comparison and contrast of the Pueblo and Plains cultural adaptations, and 4) control of the conventions of mechanics and style so that your paper does not lose credibility with the reader.

To avoid an embarrassing situation, the following guidelines are suggested by the Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Council. • Each pueblo has its own laws governing the use of cameras (still, movie, digital or video), sketching, and painting on location. Most pueblos require a permit. Santa Clara does not allow these activities on certain days. Others, such as San Juan and Santo Domingo, prohibit picture-taking at all times. The Council recommends you ask for permission before photographing anyone and that you offer a small donation for the privilege. Remember, cameras can be confiscated. • Prohibition laws on most pueblos forbid the carrying or use of alcohol or drugs. • Silence is mandatory during all dances and pueblo ceremonies. This means no questions about ceremonies or dances while they are underway, no walking across the dance plaza. Do not applaud after the dance or ceremony. • Kivas and ceremonial rooms are restricted to use by pueblo members only. • Cemeteries are sacred burial grounds and are off-limits to non-pueblo members. • Please do not try to peek into doors and windows as pueblo members live here. • Many of the adobe structures are hundreds of years old. Do not attempt to climb on top of buildings. • Nature is sacred on the pueblos; littering is taboo. • Conduct and dress are anything you would not hesitate to do or wear at your own house of worship. • Remember: Dances are religious ceremonies. 6 APPENDIX A: Bibliography on Plains and Pueblo Native Americans Apache Adams, Alexander 1971: Geronimo.
