A woman named Elaine Morse at UMASS Boston teaches one course in her
Womens Studies department about Native American Women. It primarily
deals with women's concepts as displayed in contemporary literature.
I know of no departments solely dedicated to the study of native women
of any group. Too bad, we're soooooo interesting, too!
I've been thinking about writing a course on something about Indian women but
so far, I've just reached the thinking stage. Maybe some of us could talk about
what we think a course should include. My thoughts are that the literature is
certainly important and I'd like to include crafts, medicine, politics. Any
thoughts? Heya (hurry, I'm moving to Hawaii and will be off-line in Jan,
temporarily, I hope)
