First Nations: A History of Indigenous Americans [In-Building]

Join William Tyler MBE in a new three week series looking at the history of indigenous Americans.

Beginning with the indigenous societies existing in the USA prior to the arrival of Europeans, William will next look at first contact between the two peoples, before examining how Europeans drove forward from east to west, giving little thought to the peoples already living there. Finally, William will look at the ways in which whole peoples, their cultures, and their respect for the land was systematically attacked by European settlement and farming practices.
