HIST 38.01 First Americans and the First President: The Indian World of George Washington

George Washington’s life intersected constantly with Native America. He surveyed and speculated in Indian lands. He fought Indians in three wars, made Indian treaties, and built a nation on Indian land. His conduct of Indian affairs shaped the authority of the president in war and diplomacy. By restoring Indians to the life of the first president, this class will restore their role in shaping the new nation and counter their erasure from America’s historical memory.
