Suggesting one productive way of redrawing that history is to think in terms of a complicated and ever shifting set of contests among three sets of actors. Three sets of actors we call native people, settler colonists, and european empires. Obvious to folks what we mean when we think about native peoples, although it should not be that obvious, except to stress it is a plural term. We it is a complicated set of things. We have also been talking about the technical use of the term settler and settler colonists. I wonder if i might embarrass somebody in our room among these wonderful teachers to try to take a crack at defining what we mean by settler colonists in this threepart mix. Theory the settlers believed the land they arrive to belonged to them and not the native people so they had a right to be on that land and the native people could be erased. Right, and that is a historical product. There may be some people who came to north america from europe or elsewhere with the idea in th
Hello. Im here in philadelphia, at the Gilder Lehrman study for american studies of the university of pennsylvania. Ive spent the week with an Amazing Group of educators from all over the, country brought together under the auspices of the Gilder Lehrman institute of American History.

This is generously supported by the Library Company of philadelphia and the pew center for arts and heritage. We spent the week tossing around ideas about how we might redraw Early American History. We tried to do that by suggesting one productive way of redrawing that history is to think in terms of a complicated and ever shifting set of contests among three sets of actors. Three sets of actors we call native people, settler colonists, and european empires. It is probably obvious to folks what we mean when we think about native peoples, although it should not be that obvious, except to stress it is a plural term. We are talking about many different peoples who have many different histories and are constantly in historical motion. European empires may be obvious, but once again it is a plural term. We are talking about the french, the dutch, the spanish, the english, and occasionally some other powers. Those empires were in motion. Theyre being created in the period we are talking abou
If you are sitting comfortably. Conference, i want to talk to you today about two futures. About a choice of the two futures. B about our country, and you know there are times in history when fundamental decisions have to be made and decisions about our values and by our hope for future generations.

Has a Prime Minister who has actually unlawfully, because he cares nothing, knotting for the human consequences of the disaster brexit policy. Indeed, virtually everyday since he entered downing street, Boris Johnson has demonstrated on every level that he is unfit for the office that he holds. And across the atlantic, the current incumbent of the white house in just his latest outrage has allowed a war in the middle east to reerupt. Conference, let us today make c
