The revision of a course on Mvskoke culture that
will culminate in a travel-study trip to the original homelands of the Muscogee
people in the southeastern area of the United States.
The College of the Muscogee Nation proposes a
two-year Humanities
initiative to combine classroom lecture with a travel
study to the original homelands of the Muscogee (Creek) people. Students
enrolled in the MVSK 2343: Field Lab in Mvskoke Culture will have classroom
instruction and complete the course with a trip to the traditional and
historical sites significant to the Mvskoke. By redesigning the curriculum during
the first two trimesters of year one, CMN will strengthen the humanities focus
in this course and provide new experiences for students enrolled in the course.
As the humanities focus for this course increases, the planning team will expand
collections of Mvskoke (Creek) documents, oral histories, literature, and media
resources to support the Field Lab in Mvskoke Culture and other courses on the
CMN campus.
