Description
This course examines the adaptation and perseverance of Indigenous peoples in the United States from the mid-nineteenth century until the present. During this period, Native Americans confronted settler colonialism, were forced onto reservations, and were faced with colonial policies that ranged from assimilationist practices to promoting limited autonomy. Since the early twentieth century, court cases, new types of activism, and ongoing struggles for sovereignty and identity have shaped Native American experiences. The course also considers the different sources and methods for interpreting Native American history. Students can take this course independently from HIST-3613.
