I took this class Fall 2011 with Nasby. Though I found her tough to listen to sometimes, she really knows what she's talking about. The class was at the Macdonald Stewart Art Centre so she brings in actual native art pieces for us to look at (which was pretty cool). She's open to questions and always available after class. It was an 8:30am class so she waited to start around 8:35 for people who miss the bus. The paper for this course I found was a but tough, but a fair substitute for no midterm. Stick with it and you'll enjoy it! Remember coffee or tea!!

This course is pretty cool, its in the art museum and the prof gives you the opportunity to see and even touch artifacts and view exhibits in the museum. This course is usually in the morning so make sure you have caffeine, Nasby has a very soft voice and likes to turn off the lights
