Origins: Pathways to and through Turtle Island
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

The arrival and evolution of the first peoples in the Americas is a story that continues to reveal itself from mystery to majesty. From the time hominins began traversing the earth until they arrived at Turtle Island, one theory after another is undone by new discoveries. This class looks at the pathways to and through the Americas, the Indigenous Peoples who populated the Americas, the diverse cultures they created, their encounters with each other, and eventually with an alien race that tried to subjugate or exterminate them. It is a remarkable story that they survived and are yet persevering.
