Fall 2023 - I really enjoyed this class. I learned so much about Native American culture and history. Professor Bradford-Gomez is such a nice and understanding person as well. The class consisted of weekly journal reflections, an annotated bibliography, a group presentation on the readings, and a project proposal with two parts with the first part being an oral presentation and the second part being a 7-10 page proposal on a topic of your choice as it related to the class. Overall not a stressful class as long as you do not leave things till the last minute.

Fall 2017 - I took this class to fulfill a Sociology requirement. This class is definitely boring if you are not legit interested in American Indian Culture. However I needed to take it. It wasn't too bad at first because it was new information but he is very repetitive. Some people may enjoy that but I just wanted to move on. Anyway, attendance is necessary because there are no discussion sections and this is the only place to get information. Like other reviewers have said, he tells you exactly what to write down for the essays. There are 4 books and 1 course reader you need to purchase for the class. And yes, you need them for the essays. There's no way around it. I have the course reader and loose-leaf versions of the books (in a binder). Great condition. Little to no highlighting on the course reader and the other books have important quotes highlighted and notes to help you with the papers. If you pay full price online or in the bookstore it would be about $145 for all 5 required books/course reader. Ill priority ship them to you for only $50. Pay through Venmo. Take it or leave it. I graduated / moved out of LA so its the only way. Text: **********
