Institution:

Whitman College

Subject:

Description:

This course puts Native American history at the center of U.S. history. We will study indigenous responses to the processes of contact, colonization, and conquest, beginning with Columbus' voyage, continuing through the early period of European exploration and settlement of North America, and turning to the period of U.S. western expansion, ending with the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890. We will sample different native groups' experiences throughout North America, especially in the present-day United States. A variety of primary and secondary sources, combined with class discussion and lectures, will allow students to analyze whether and how Native American oral histories and other ways of knowing about the past can integrate with more conventional academic methods of studying history. Distribution Area: Social Science, Alternative Voices.
