This course surveys Native American history from the pre-colonial era to the present, drawing from American Indian and Indigenous Studies epistemologies, theories, and methods. Students analyze historical events through frameworks of sovereignty, settler colonialism, survivance (Vizenor), refusal (Audra Simpson), and resurgence (Leanne Simpson). Topics include Indigenous cosmologies, creation stories, philosophies and religious traditions; the impact of multiple European and U.S. colonial projects; federal Indian law and policy; resistance movements from Tecumseh to AIM; cultural revitalization and urban Indian experiences; and contemporary struggles for sovereignty, decolonization, and environmental justice. This course also examines how U.S. constitutional principles have shaped the relationship between Native nations and the United States and how Indigenous struggles for sovereignty and self-determination have influenced broader American ideals of democracy, justice, and human rights.
