Classes / seminar descriptions:

"An Overview of Native American History, Culture, and Spirituality"
given by Dr. Laurance R. Doyle, Ph.D.

Description: This one-hour lecture is a summary of a ten week course taught at Principia College. Many aspects of Native American culture are familiar to us, but we may not know that they are Native American in origin. Some aspects of Native American history we may find surprising, other aspects -- such as some spiritual teachings -- we may find quite recognizable. The class will consist of instruction but also many personal experiences with Native Americans and the teachings of Native American elders.
