Rationale for adding to list:
This course fills a void in the History curriculum and offers another option for the General
Education and Heritage requirement. Scholars have realized that Indian peoples have fundamentally
shaped and defined our nation’s past. Indeed, Native Americans were active agents, not just victims,
in producing their history both before and after the European invasion of North America.
