Ethnohistory, which was first coined over a half century ago, is a cooperative undertaking that employs methodologies from both history and anthropology. The course examines this innovative method to better understand Native American viewpoints in the past and present. It explores how ethnohistory and research on American Indian communities have changed across the North American continent. Chosen research projects will reevaluate written sources and consult additional evidence to gain Native viewpoints. Readings address more recent developments in ethnohistory including oral histories, current political events, and collaboration with Indigenous communities.
