"Come join us and explore thousands of years of Pueblo history as we interact with American Indian scholars, excavate at the Goodman Point Unit of Hovenweep National Monument, conduct laboratory analyses with prominent archaeologists, and study three very important landmarks—Mesa Verde National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the Goodman Point Unit of Hovenweep National Monument, and Sand Canyon Pueblo in the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. These places and activities will show you how American Indians, anthropologists, and archaeologists work together to provide a full picture of Pueblo history and culture."

"This seminar will explore American art of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, emphasizing the country's rich and diverse visual heritage. Instruction will focus on the Gallery's collection of American paintings, which are closely allied to European traditions of fine art.

Through lectures, gallery talks, discussion groups, and hands-on activities, participants will study portraiture, historical and commemorative art, scenes of everyday life, still life, and landscape, including works from the uniquely American Hudson River school. John Singleton Copley, Benjamin West, Thomas Cole, George Catlin, Winslow Homer, and Augustus Saint-Gaudens are among the artists in the Gallery's collection whose work will be considered.

Supplementing the study of American paintings will be an examination of ceremonial and utilitarian art objects. Textiles, pottery, and furniture—including pieces created by enslaved and free blacks—will highlight regional preferences in design and material, while performance of Native American stories will emphasize the importance of the oral tradition across tribal boundaries.

The seminar highlights the social and cultural context of art and demonstrates interdisciplinary teaching strategies. Participants will explore connections to literature and music and visit other local cultural institutions. Activities are designed to meet teachers' personal and professional enrichment needs."

"We'll provide three weeks of intense, guided exploration into how Native American and Euro-American cultures have adapted to the Upper Mississippi River Valley over nearly fourteen millennia, and how we learn about such cultures through archaeology, the study of past human cultures from the remains they left behind."

"Discover American Indian history in the United States from the earliest evidence of human habitation through first contact with Europeans, conflicts in the West, World War II and other key events in 20th-century U.S. history, the American Indian rights movement, and into the present day.

Archaeological finds, traditional stories, the writings of early European explorers, government documents and treaties, oral histories, photographs, the arts, newspaper articles and more will enrich your exploration of key issues in Native American history nationwide.

The course will proceed chronologically. Within each topical module you will have the opportunity to choose from several different geographically grouped assignments, allowing you to customize your own learning experience based on your interests, the demands of the curriculum, and your own priorities for teaching American Indian history.

For example, in any given unit, you may choose to focus on the Southwest, the Pacific Northwest, the Great Plains, the Northeast or the Southeast. You may either follow one geographical track throughout the course or mix up their selections to allow for a broader view of American Indian history."

"In the first two centuries after 1492, most colonies in the New World failed. This workshop explores why. We will read accounts of failures and successes and discuss what happened. How much did colonizers' expectations have to do with success or failure? Were the desires and power of local Indians the most important factors? How large a role did weather and climate play? Was luck the deciding factor? Should we be surprised that any succeeded?"
