Native American and European Power Rivalries in North America: 1690-1763
This workshop explores the questions "By 1690, what factors and issues dominated European-Native American relationships throughout North America?," "How had these relationships changed by the end of the British imperial wars in 1763?, "How did these changes influence British America on the eve of the Revolution?," and "How did these changes influence Native American culture and politics?"
The Center's online resource workshops give high school teachers of U.S. history and American literature a deeper understanding of their subject matter. They introduce teachers to fresh texts and critical perspectives and help teachers integrate them into their lessons. Led by distinguished scholars and running 60 to 90 minutes, they are conducted through lecture and discussion using conferencing software. A resource workshop identifies central themes within a topic and explores ways to teach them through the close analysis of primary texts, including works of art, and the use of discussion questions. Texts are drawn from anthologies in the Center's Toolbox Library. To participate, all that is needed is a computer with an internet connection, a speaker, and a microphone.
