POSC 166 — Introduction to Native American Politics and Policy
This course introduces students to Native American politics and policy from the treaty making process that formed the foundation of contemporary tribal sovereignty to legal cases and precedents that impact Native American lands and people.

Emphasis will be given to twelve recognized Kumeyaay tribal governments in the United States and four recognized Kumeyaay/Kumiai tribal governments in Baja California, Mexico. Also listed as KUMY 166. Not open to students with credit in KUMY 166. (CSU/UC) (AA/AS-4, Cal-GETC-4)
