Welcome
Welcome to the History 1FF3: Introduction to North American Environmental History Research Guide. The goal of this guide is to help you develop effective research questions, teach you how to locate and evaluate primary and secondary sources as well as how to properly cite these sources.
Land Acknowledgement
McMaster University stands on the traditional territory shared between the Haudenosaunee confederacy and the Anishinabe nations. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties, is within the lands protected by the “Dish With One Spoon” wampum agreement and is directly adjacent to Haldiman Treaty territory.
We must acknowledge a debt to those who were here before us, and recognize our responsibility, as guests, to respect and honour the intimate relationship Indigenous peoples have to this land.
