ANTH 376 Archaeological Perspectives of the Northern Plains
The Northern Plains of North America is a vast territory stretching from central Manitoba and Saskatchewan south to Nebraska, east to northern Iowa and west to the Rocky Mountains. It is a stark and harsh landscape but one with abundant streams, wildlife, and wild plants. These resources have sustained Native American populations for at least 12,000 years and continue to do so through the present day. This course will take a holistic approach to the study of the Great Plains through an archaeological perspective that includes Indigenous knowledge, viewpoints, and concerns. Emphasis will be placed on making connections between the culture, lifeways, and worldviews of past and contemporary Indigenous nations.
