The Haudenosaunee and the American Revolution: A Conversation with Rick Hill

Join respected Haudenosaunee scholar and educator Rick Hill (Tuscarora, Six Nations of the Grand River, Beaver Clan) for a conversation exploring the experiences and perspectives of the Haudenosaunee during the Revolutionary War.

Drawing on Haudenosaunee history, Hill will examine the complex choices and relationships that shaped Haudenosaunee experiences during the Revolutionary War and the ways the Revolution affected Haudenosaunee communities and territories.

The conversation will also consider the lasting impact of the conflict on relationships between Indigenous nations and the newly formed United States. As the nation reflects on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this program offers an opportunity to explore the Revolutionary era through a Haudenosaunee lens and to consider histories and perspectives essential to understanding this period.
