All Courses

This course will focus on contemporary literature, film, poetry, and creative nonfiction written by North American Indigenous authors from various nations within both the United States and Canada with attention to colony and empire, climate change, sovereignty, emergent indigeneity, and multispecies kinship. As much as possible, we will place these texts within their historical, culturally-specific, and national contexts, as well as in relation to each other and to ourselves in our classroom at Hamilton. Texts may include works by Louise Erdrich, N. Scott Momaday, Leslie Marmon Silko, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Leanne Simpson, Rebecca Nagle, Lisa Jackson, Stephen Graham Jones, Thomas King, Tommy Pico, Cherie Dimaline, and Danis Goulet.
