“Moss' comedy stylings are distinguished for being sculptured out of the everyday relevance of life and the rare glimpses of truth we value as reality. With his insight on "racial understanding vs. racial interaction" he has quickly become the funniest social commentator on the college scene today.” – Campus Activities Magazine

7. Field Course in Quebec
Interested in natural resource management, forestry, northern communities, indigenous rights, or wilderness canoeing? Join us for a Field Course in James Bay, northern Quebec run through the Hulbert Outdoor Center this summer, from July 22nd to August 10th. This northern issues trip, for which you can earn college credit if accompanied by an individual project, will examine, first-hand, the the pressing cultural, political, and environmental issues facing First Nations peoples and their land. Traveling between communities by van at first and then spending 5 days canoe camping on a traditional hunting ground with Cree guides Anna and David Bosum, we will educate ourselves in order to broaden our perspectives and understand our economic, social, and political connections to these seemingly remote lands.
The leaders are Hans Carlson, a professor, writer, geographer, and historian, and Naomi Heindel, Dartmouth '07, who, after years of canoeing in James Bay, Quebec, conducted her senior thesis research on these very issues and in these very communities. As her academic interest in the challenges facing the Cree and their lands began and flourished at Dartmouth, Naomi is excited to bring the opportunity of this trip to Dartmouth students.
