February 8

Bob Morrissey, professor, University of Illinois Department of History

Morrissey will explore the tallgrass prairie region (the modern corn belt) of North America and its remarkable premodern Indigenous history, and how people and non-human nature shaped each other during the early generations of European colonization. Tracing the rise and fall of midwestern Indigenous groups, the talk will highlight an extraordinary, diverse human history. Register by February 4.
