HIST 4310 - American Indian History

Hours: 3
The history of native people living within the present–day boundaries of the United States, from the origins of their habitation to the present day. The nature of Indian cultures prior to the advent of European colonization, and the historical development of the colonial encounter as it unfolded over several centuries, looking for evidence of both continuity and change among native peoples. How the United States became a powerful influence on American Indian life, and dissecting that relationship. How the history of American Indians paralleled, intersected, diverged, and generally became increasingly intertwined with the history of the United States during the twentieth century. The familiar story of native loss, but also native survival, revitalization, and transformation.
