HIST 382 - American Indian History, Precontact to 1840

(3)
Examines the experience of North American Indians from their earliest origins to the removal of Native American nations westward in the 1830s and 1840s. The course focuses on the ways in which American Indians constructed their societies before European contact; how they received the European newcomers during the era of exploration; how they negotiated the power dynamics between their own cultures and those of the Europeans; and how they maintained or modified their cultural identities as a result of their interactions with whites.
