HIST 1010

This course provides an overview of Canada's history, from Indigenous societies "pre-contact," to the creation of the Canadian nation in 1867. The course focuses on the various peoples whose lives and interactions created "Canada." History 1010 and 1020 are required for history majors and minors. These courses are not designed to have students memorize a vast collection of dates and isolated facts. Rather, they aim to have students recognize and understand some of the defining patterns and processes of Canadian history, and the debates that surround their interpretation. No prior study of Canadian history is assumed. Lecture: Two hours a week Tutorial: One hour a week
