class is a good GE not too hard, graded on a midterm (2 mini essays), a news stories portfolio which is pretty easy, final (3 mini essays), and section attendance, and he gives out the questions to the test beforehand so you can study. overall easy course and engaging with current native american events.

Such an amazing lecturer, one of my favorite classes that I have taken at UCSB. Lecture attendance is not mandatory, but it is important to go to them to understand what is going on. He cares a lot about the class and the students, 110% recommend the professor and class.

This course was one of my favorite classes I have taken so far. Professor Johnson really cares about this subject and his students and is super easy to talk to outside of class time. If you do the readings and pay attention in lecture it is very easy to get a good grade. I also had an amazing TA but I think he is gone now:(

The lectures were engaging and moving, Greg is an incredible lecturer and public speaker. To be fair, this class didn't solely focus on different indigenous groups and their lifestyles; more so on current events and challenges faced by these groups and how they are being addressed. Midterm and final questions were given out before the test.

The course should be called native Hawaiian religion and not Native American Religion. Hearing from guest speakers was very nice but the actual lectures were so confusing. Every class period I joined having no idea what was going to be discussed. I learned a lot about native Hawaiians but barely anything about any other indigenous groups.
