Indigenous North America: Selected Topics in History Part 2 (Section B - Friday Morning)

Lifelong Learning | Registration closed 11/22/2024

Indigenous North America is a study of selected topics that highlight the history and culture of Native Americans. There will be a special focus placed on Native American cultural systems and how the forces of history challenged or altered these structures. Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to critically think about American Indian history, applying an analytical approach, rather than resorting to worn out racial stereotypes or new-age romanticism. Part two will include Cherokees and the Trail of Tears, The Buffalo Nation, The War for the Sacred Black Hills, Cheyenne Autumn, In the Spirit of Crazy Horse.  

 

This class is the same as what is being offered on Monday evenings at 6:00 pm.
