Ancient American Historical Society Launches Landmark Course:
“Before 1492: Indigenous Civilizations and the Making of the Americas”
Kansas City, MO — The Ancient American Historical Society (AAHS) is proud to announce the launch of its groundbreaking new course, “Before 1492: Indigenous Civilizations and the Making of the Americas.” This 14-week online course invites learners to explore the rich, complex histories of Indigenous civilizations across North, Central, and South America prior to European contact.
Designed for educators, students, and lifelong learners, the course challenges outdated Eurocentric narratives and centers Indigenous voices, knowledge systems, and achievements. Participants will engage with archaeology, oral traditions, environmental science, and Indigenous-authored texts to gain a deeper understanding of the Americas as vibrant, interconnected worlds long before Columbus.
“This course is about more than history—it’s about rethinking how we tell the story of the Americas,” said [Insert Instructor Name], lead educator for the course. “We’re highlighting the brilliance, resilience, and ongoing legacies of Indigenous peoples who shaped this hemisphere for millennia.”
Course highlights include:
- Weekly explorations of major civilizations such as the Maya, Inka, Aztec, Cahokia, Olmec, and Puebloan cultures
- Readings from Indigenous authors and primary sources
- Hands-on activities, group projects, and a final capstone
- A decolonial approach that re-centers Indigenous perspectives
Enrollment is now open. The course begins May 1st, 2026, and is offered entirely online. Space is limited.
