HIST 115 - Native American Histories


Credits: 3
Native American Histories. This course explores the rich and varied histories of the indigenous peoples of North America. Beginning before the Columbian Exchange, students in this course will explore the lives of the men, women, and children who inhabited North American from the eastern to western seaboards. The course will explore the impact of Europeans on native cultures and debate and discuss the long-term effects of later U.S. policies such as the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the establishment of reservations. Finally, the course will show students the empowered voices of Native American peoples themselves in their complex relationships with the modern United States.
