The Indigenous Worlds of the American Revolution

Catalog description

This course considers the wider era of the American Revolution through the experiences and actions of Indigenous nations. Although the usual story of the American War of Independence is centered on the political conflict between the American colonists and the colonies (and eventual states), the view from Indian country looked vastly different, with divergent allegiances and experiences ranging from 1760 to 1795, during which the American Revolution was only one conflict.
