1206	B127 01	1.0	Indigenous Leaders1452-1750 Accommodation and Resistance: New Course: Studies the experiences of American indigenous men and women who exercised local authority established by European colonizers. In return for places in the colonial administrations, these leaders performed a range of tasks. At the same time they served as imperial officials, they exercised “traditional” forms of authority within their communities, often free of European presence. These figures provide a lens to study early modern colonialism.
