Course description
This seminar will focus on North America's indigenous history up till 1890. Topics and readings will span the continent, incorporate Native relationships with a number of Euro-American empires, and cover chronology from pre-contact to the end of the 19th century. The history of North America's indigenous inhabitants is a complex network of thousands of distinct and unique peoples. Thus, we will attempt to simultaneously represent the diversity in Native history and identify general themes of Native experience.
