Section Information for Spring 2026

This course examines the histories of Indigenous peoples in North America from the 19th century to today, emphasizing sovereignty, survival, resistance, and adaptation in response to U.S. expansion and settler colonialism. Students will explore key themes such as treaties, forced assimilation, Red Power activism, and current struggles for self-determination while engaging with both historical sources and Indigenous voices. Throughout, we’ll consider what it means to “do” Indigenous history and why these stories are essential to understanding the broader American past.
