Lee Swenson - American Indian Art and Culture

American Indian Art and Culture

Our continent's original inhabitants encompass a broad range of cultures and experiences, each tribe varying greatly from region to region. This class will look at the everyday life, art, and history of American Indians, with a special focus on the Southwest and California Indian communities. Slideshows, short films, and guest storytellers will illuminate these vibrant and flourishing cultures. Guest lecturers include Malcolm Margolin, author of the classic The Ohlone Way: Indian Life in the San Francisco-Monterey Bay Area, and Frank LaPena, an elder of the Nomtipom Wintu and a traditional dancer.

For the past 30 years, Lee Swenson has lectured in American Indian communities, as well as in Florence and Venice, Italy, on American Indian culture. He is on the board of Heyday Institute, the premier publisher of books on California Indian life and news.

Tuesdays, January 27-March 3 (6 classes)
