Description
This course examines the impact of colonial violence on Indigenous peoples in North America from the early contact period until the era of residential schools. The course is not intended to be a comprehensive overview of all atrocities ever committed against Indigenous peoples. Instead, this course examines a selected number of massacres, genocides, and episodes of ethnic cleansing in depth. The course also addresses some of the traditional limitations of the discipline of history for interpreting the Indigenous past, and discusses the sources and methodologies that Indigenous and non-Indigenous historians have adopted in order to rethink Eurocentric interpretations. Max. 6 cr hr 1000 History may be counted for degree credit.
