Expanded Course Description
Prior to contact with incoming Europeans and later Euro-Americans/Canadians, Indigenous communities spanning the Northwest coast from Oregon to Alaska (often called “Cascadia” today) had many cultural practices in common and lived in very similar ecosystems. As of the late 1700s, the region’s original inhabitants became powerful actors in the maritime and then land-based fur trade. When the U.S. and Great Britain drew an international political border at the forty-ninth parallel in 1846, the experiences of Native peoples on either side of that critical line slowly diverged. This course will explore and assess the diverse histories of Indigenous Cascadians from the pre-contact period to the present day.
