Associated Term: Summer 2021
Levels: Undergraduate Continuing Education Campus Campus Lecture Schedule Type Traditional Instructional Method Learning Objectives: This course examines how Indigenous peoples and their lands transformed in the wake of white settler colonialism. Students will learn how to approach Native history in what is today the United States from various Indigenous perspectives. We will start with a week devoted to Indigenous America prior to European contact. After that, we will look at how the global collision between vastly different societies resulted in an interconnected rise of invasions, new nations, deportations, genocides, racial regimes, and resistance. Given that we will be spending so much time trying to understand colonialism through an often-Eurocentric lens of history, this course will be just as “uncolonial” as it will be decolonial. Though many of these histories will be difficult to understand, we will always evaluate how tribal nations and peoples found power in colonial contexts. We will finish the course with an overview of recent contestations for sovereignty, paying attention to how a pan-Indigenous movement has contributed to (and complicated) the paths to full sovereignty.
