Perspectives of indigenous peoples and critical colonial discourse interrogate the historical narratives of European and American geopolitical and religious expansion within California. Mission establishment, geographic placement, leadership, and the missions' historical and lasting impact will be dissected and discussed with significant emphasis on the subjugation of indigenous peoples in the early and current United States. This course furthers the decolonization of historical events to develop a civically engaged and further educated older adult lifelong learning community.Usually HeldWed 1:00pm–2:50pm, Wed 1:00pm–2:40pm, Wed 10:00am–11:50am
