*This Land is Their Land: The American Southwest* Field Academy trip gave students an opportunity to reach beyond myth to learn about the realities of modern Native Americans' relationships with their lands, their histories, and the surrounding settler society.
There is no better place to study these topics than our destination, the southwestern lands known today as Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.
