Native Americans and the New Nation NEW!
Registering for a remote instructor class means the student will attend in a classroom at MTP, but the instructor(s) teach(es) from a remote location. These classes are scheduled for a specific date and time. The instructor's presentation is displayed for students to see and hear in the classroom. Questions to and interaction with the remote instructor is usually available.

Native Americans are likely to be sidelined in the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States. In this talk, expert Colin Calloway will restore them to their central role in the coming and course of the Revolution, in the presidency of George Washington, and in the development of the new nation. He will be presenting remote.
