This course provides an overview of Indigenous history in North America from the long era before European contact to the present day. Content will include the stories of well-known individuals and topics such as Sitting Bull and the Battle at the Little Bighorn, as well as lesser-known figures and events such as Susan La Flesche Picotte and the Alcatraz Occupation. We will also examine events central to American national history from the perspective of “facing East from Indian Country” to learn how Native people across North America played crucial roles in, and were affected by, historical trends and events. These include the age of empires and revolutions in the 18th century, American expansion and conquest in the nineteenth century, and globalization and the Cold War in the twentieth century. Finally, the course ends with a discussion of the recent Indigenous past during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, including the highly publicized #NODAPL protests on the Standing Rock Reservation in 2016 and 2017 and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on reservation communities.
