Approaches Indigenous history in North America from pre-Columbian to the 20th Century through the lens of self-determination rather than victimization. The central theme of this course is that Indigenous nations have always engaged in empowering action and were never simply victims of European oppression and/or abstract social, political, and environmental forces. Students investigate ways in which Indigenous nations proved to be steadfast in preserving traditional cultural traits amid an expanding imperial force, and fought for their rights while insisting on their proper place in an evolving political, environmental, and social landscape.Prereq: ENG 101; HIS 105 or HIS 106.Recomm: POL 101
