Description
This course examines how Indigenous peoples in what is now the United States, adapted to and resisted colonization from the time of European incursions in the sixteenth century until the expulsion of Indigenous nations from the US during the 1830s. Following an examination of the pre-colonial period, the processes of diseases, trade, warfare, diplomacy, dispossession, Christian missions, and colonial civilization policies are discussed from Indigenous perspectives. The course also considers the different sources and methods for interpreting Native American history. Students can take this course independently from HIST-3614.
