Native Nations & The Beginning of the United States on Zoom

Learn about U.S. History (1100-1860) from the perspective of Native Americans. This virtual lecture begins in the 1100s and ends just before the Civil War in 1860.

Native history predates 1492. Native peoples have been on the North American continent for centuries before colonization began. From the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy to landing on Plymouth Rock and the Lost Colony of Roanoke to the tribes that participated in the American Revolution and the move westward, discover the creation of the treaties between the United States and Native Nations. The beginning of the end for Native Nations with the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears will also be covered. 

Led by Heather Bruegl, a public historian, activist, and decolonial education consultant who works with institutions and organizations for Indigenous sovereignty and collective liberation. She is an Oneida Nation of Wisconsin citizen and first-line descendent Stockbridge Munsee. 

This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.
