This afternoon I lectured on initial encounters between Natives and Europeans. In one section of my lecture I focused on the Hopi who first encountered the Spanish when Pedro de Tovar and a small group of men arrived uninvited on Hopi lands in 1540. In this lecture clip, I speak about this event and Hopi attempts to understand it from Hopi cultural perspectives (total run time 4 min and 40 sec.).

Hopi emergence and migration (lecture clip)

This semester I am teaching an undergraduate course titled HIST 236 Indians in U.S. History. Throughout the semester I will upload short lecture clips that may be of interest to readers of this blog. The first clip takes place at the end of class where I close my lecture (on Native American oral history and tradition) talking briefly on Hopi emergence and migration. I have inlcuded the PowerPoint slide that I am discssing above, and the video below (video and sound quality are not the best…I will make necessary improvements for next time).
