A Lecture by Andrew Lipman

Increasingly, scholars are finding that Native American history does not stop at the water’s edge. New and forthcoming work suggests that our old vision of the Native past as a grounded, territorial story is incorrect: from first contact onwards, indigenous people traveled the world and shaped events far from American shores. Ranging from the Pacific to the Arctic to the Caribbean to the Atlantic, the true history of indigenous mariners, whalers, diplomats, and pirates challenges our understanding of how Native people responded to and participated in European global expansion. Andrew Lipman is an assistant professor of history at Barnard College and the author of the award-winning book The Saltwater Frontier: Indians and the Contest for the American Coast.
