Webinar Description

From the very beginning the United States has dealt with Native Americans with a series of policies and treaties. Most of the policies were aimed at assimilation. For many years Native Americans were forced to live by standards set by the United States. These policies stripped away Indigenous Identity, tradition and cultures. Learn how Federal Indian Policy changed the way Native Americans lived, from removal to self-determination.

This webinar is designed for historians and educators wanting to learn more about the First Peoples of Turtle Island.

This webinar is presented by the AASLH Educators and Interpreters Affinity Community. 

Learning Outcomes

  • Learn about the Native American experience through Federal Indian Policy
  • Gain an understanding of the assimilation practices of Federal Indian Policy
  • Understand how Federal Indian Policy has affected life in Indian County today
