Annotation
The course is a loose continuation of the course YBA106 - Native American Cultures of North America (its passing is not mandatory, but recommended). It mediates basic introduction to the study of the problems of the Indian population in North America today, especially in the US (but with extension also into Canada and accentuating globalization of the contemporary world).
It aims to present the current situation of Indians and problems, they face, through the prism of sociocultural anthropology and its theories.
