Native history predates 1492. Native peoples have been on the North American continent for centuries before colonization began. Learn about U.S. History from the perspective of Native Americans. From the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy to landing on Plymouth Rock and the Lost Colony of Roanoke to the tribes that participated in the American Revolution and the move westward, discover the creation of the treaties between the United States and Native Nations. Finally, learn about the beginning of the end for Native Nations with the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears. This lecture begins in the 1100s and ends just before the Civil War in 1860.
