Tom Isern, Instructor
North Dakota State University

"Coyote Culture" is a graduate-level reading seminar in History. Its regional focus is the Great Plains of North America. In this course we study life on the plains, and we do it with texts--mainly books, although of course, there are many kinds of texts. The course is taught via the media of this website and its listserv, the Coffee Klatch. The course delivers regular, resident graduate credit to qualified students anywhere the Internet goes.
