NEH - The Early
Republic and Indian Country, 1812-1833
NEH Summer Institute for Teachers
The Newberry Library, Chicago
July 16, 2012 to August 10, 2012
Co-Directors
Scott Manning Stevens, Ph.D., Director, McNickle Center, Newberry
Library
Frank Valadez, Executive Director, Chicago Metro History Education
Center
This summer institute will examine the transformation of the lands
between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River from
“Indian Country” to “U.S. territory,” from North to South, between
1812 and 1833. The Newberry Library has long been in the forefront of
the study of Native America, in both its collections and sponsored
scholarship, and it is the perfect place to host an institute that
bridges the divide between American Indian history and traditional
narratives of U.S. history by exploring the borderlands and
backcountry of the trans-Appalachian west.
Participating teachers and educational professionals will benefit not
only by working with top-flight scholars and the resources available
at the Newberry Library, and in other archives and museums in the
Chicago area, but also by providing an opportunity to investigate more
deeply an all-too-often overlooked topic in American history—the
cultural, political, social, and economic interactions among the
diverse groups of people who occupied and travelled through Indian
Country during the era of the Early Republic.
