End Date: 11/18/2009End Time: 5:45 PM
Event Description
Native American Heritage Month celebrates both the distinctive elements of Native culture and the contributions that Native people have made in shaping America. "Native Americans in America: the Continuities of History" focuses on the ways in which Native activists and politicians used the material legacy of 19th century conquest in the American West – hundreds of international treaties the U.S. government signed with Indian nations – to further the moral reputation of America as it assumed a prominent role in shaping world affairs in the 20th century, especially during the Cold War and the Vietnam War. Dr. Rosier also considers how the frontier narrative of the 19th century continues to define 21st century events such as the U.S.-Iraq war. His presentation includes images from his new book, Serving Their Country: American Indian Politics and Patriotism in the Twentieth Century, published by Harvard University Press. Paul C. Rosier is an Associate Professor in the department of History, Villanova University.
