HIST 260 - Introduction to Native American History (3 units) CO10
Investigates North American Indian history from the pre-contact era to the present. It puts North America’s Native peoples at the center of American history, focusing particularly on how Natives responded to and shaped contact with European empires and the United States.

This course embraces this diversity but also seeks to trace common themes.
