An exploration of the first three centuries of the
Amerindian-European contact in the northeastern woodlands.
The course will focus on exploring the creation,
persistence, and decline of "middle grounds" where
Amerindians and Europeans, however briefly, succeeded in
accommodating to each other in ways that changed both
without destroying either.
