CORE C188 - Haudenosaunee

Examines the archaeology, culture, history, economics, religion, literature, arts, politics, law, and individual lives of the Haudenosaunee - Colgate’s closest Native American neighbors - from the period before European contact to the present day. Students place Haudenosaunee experiences in North American Indian contexts (comparing the Haudenosaunee, e.g., to their linguistic relatives, the Cherokee), especially concerning the loss and persistence of tribal sovereignty; and investigate Haudenosaunee relations with New York State and the United States, especially in regard to competing land claims.
