The First Ones
註釋"The field of Indian/Native studies in North America has benefited from several streams of development. The demands for opening curricula to the voices of Aboriginal Canadians and Native Americans led first to the founding of departments and programs in the 1960s, and later to post-secondary educational institutions. Interdisciplinary approaches from more traditional academic sources forged the useful paradigms of "ethnohistory," "political economy," "ethic studies" and "new literary criticisms," with avenues of expression for Indigenous perspectives. Much of this later development focused on the nature of sources, theoretical approaches to their critique and production, and the hermeneutics in interpretation. However, these are not the only paradidigms, and others that are deated in Indigenous systems of thought must also be considered and legitimately explored. The search for usable theory, sources and perspectives has influenced the developing field of Indian/Native Studies. This collection of readings bring together a series of articles designed to facilitate the teaching of issues important to introductory courses in Indian/Native Studies."--Back cover.
