NAIS 263L - Modern American Indian Social and Political History: From the American Revolution to Standing Rock


3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded or pass/fail
Course can be counted for credit once

Description:
This course will examine the varied historical experiences of American Indians from the time of the American Revolution to the present, with a special focus on the 20th century. American Indians (as well as Native Hawaiians and Alaska Natives) are and were actors in history and not just hapless victims of Euro-American imperialism and power. The course will examine the ways Native peoples in the U.S. adapted and responded to the host of stresses that accompanied the rapid and often violent social, cultural, and environmental transformations of the 19th and 20th centuries.
