Course: When did humans first migrate to North America? How long have people lived in Minnesota? This course will examine the material culture of Indigenous peoples throughout the North American continent above Mexico, from c. 20,000 years ago to present. Cultural groups include the Inuit, Iroquois, ancient Puebloans, Cahokia, Great Plains villages, and Pacific Northwest (Kumash) peoples. We will study Indigenous oral histories, genetic data, linguistics, material remains, and ethnohistorical accounts to examine migration, trade, and contact, with an emphasis on decolonization and Indigenous archaeologies.
Wikipedia: We will use Wikipedia this term to edit archaeological content on the web, creating more information about archaeological sites and Indigenous cultures in North America.
Wikipedia is free and open to everyone to use and edit - which sometimes makes it a little daunting to get started. While getting a handle on editing takes time, I promise you it is worth it! The benefits far outweigh the efforts, so pace yourself and realize it will take a bit of time to get used to. That's ok!
