The True History of the
United States:
An Indigenous Perspective
Â
Get ready for a crash course in some of the fundamental facts very few people have learned about American History from an Indigenous lens. We will learn about the profound effect of the “Dawes Act,” the true history of “Pocahontas,” the primary eras of colonization, and most importantly, the current era of Indigenous renaissance and revitalization that is sweeping the country today.
Join Dr. Lyla June Johnston as we dive deep into colonial events and the foundations of the United States from Indigenous perspectives. This two-class course will introduce you to many pieces of history that still affect us today—and will leave you hungry to foster change for future generations.
Bring a journal, and get ready to take notes! This class is designed for learners from all countries, and everyone is welcome to join.
