Welcome all with open minds. This is the story of Native Americans, First Nations, and other indigenous peoples of North America, from the Haida and Salish to the Apache and Navajo, Mohave and Cheyenne to Cree, Mohawk, Ojibway and Inuit.
In addition to the fur trade, wars, and 'famous' characters like Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, Native American/First Nations History covers the political and social forces behind Aboriginal-white relations from land claims to residential schools, cultural and linguistic traditions to colonial conflicts that continue to this day.
