ABOUT THE EVENT
Calling all seniors! Keep your mind fresh and active by taking a 5 week course presented by the Phoenixville Community Health Foundation’s Senior Academy and Widener University’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute!
Dates: September 14, 21, 28; October 5, 19.
Instructor: Dick Calef
Description: Most Indians were forced out of the Eastern US in the decade following The Indian Removal Act of 1830 (covered in the “Trail of Tears” course). But, what about all the other tribes which had existed for generations out West? This course will deal with the expanding US population westward during the 1800’s into Indian country and how the Indian population responded to preserve their lands and cultures, amid Manifest Destiny, government policies and broken treaties. We’ll cover the US campaign to force all Indians onto reservations during the 19th century, including key battles, the leaders on both side and the surrenders of the many tribes.
Please note that this is a 5 week course.
