HTY 144 - Indigenous Peoples in the Atlantic World

This course places indigenous (Native) cultures, experiences, and perspectives at the center of Atlantic World history, a field that explores interactions between the peoples of the Americas, Africa, and Europe as these regions came to constitute a single, integrated system joined by the Atlantic Ocean. Topics include the migration of people, cutures, commodities, and diseases; war and slavery, cross-cultural diplomacy, race gender, and religion. Students will learn how indigenous peoples changed the course of world history while protecting their autonomy and independence, even as their ways of life were challenged by colonialism.
