A History of Native America

This course focuses on some of the major issues North American Nations and tribes face as they seek to assert rights of self-determination in the second half of the twentieth century and start of the twenty-first century. For several thousand years before European settlers spread out around the globe, a tremendous diversity of indigenous cultures flourished. This class provides exposure to many Native peoples’ identities and ways of life pre-1492. It then examines how these cultures changed under the impact of settler colonialism, a process that has lasted for several centuries. As we explore themes of sovereignty, activism and reform, health and social welfare, art, culture, religious freedom, education, and land and water rights, our course will answer three entwined questions: how are indigenous worldviews and practices different from our own, how were they affected by contact, and what is the legacy of this impact today?
