Description
Beginning with the American War for Independence a new breed of people was brought forth on this land that we call America. The goals and aspirations of the newly forged country would come into direct conflict with the native people. Focusing on American and native leadership, we will look at early treaties, Indian wars, peace efforts on both sides, and the ultimate containment of once free tribes on reservations. The role of the Supreme Court and Presidential policies will be front and center as we weave through two hundred years of conflict, accommodation, and tribal degradation.
Richard L. Carrico is a resident of Warner Springs, California, an emeritus lecturer in American Indian History at San Diego State University, and a well-respected archaeologist and historian. Mr. Carrico has published more than 30 professional articles, authored five books and considers it a privilege to work with local tribes.
