CPSP220 Where the Waters Blend: Contemporary Indigenous Perspectives on History, Traditions, and Modern Issues (3 Credits)

In this unique cultural and personal learning experience, students will explore the history, traditions, and contemporary issues faced by Maryland's Indigenous people, particularly the Piscataway. The course emphasizes the interconnectedness of culture and environment, highlighting how Indigenous Ecological Knowledges shape our understanding of biodiversity and interconnected life. The experiential work of the course asks students to consider how the past matters, particularly when it is embodied in the land they live on, and their present obligations to it. On-campus and place-based learning focuses on the impacts of colonization on the Piscataway - cultural suppression, land displacement, and their effects today - and fosters students' capacity to challenge paradigms that marginalize Indigenous people in our region, nation, and world. Students will emerge with a greater understanding of Maryland's land, the critical role of biodiversity, and the resilience of the Piscataway culture.
