Description
This course traces Indigenous history down to the War of 1812 era. We discuss the period preceding Indigenous contact with Europeans to set the context for the main part of the course, an extensive examination of the post-contact era. The course concludes by exploring the shift in government and popular perceptions of Indigenous people from ally and partner to problem and hindrance. The course considers diverse sources and methods for interpreting this history.
