Anthropology

And fascinating. Sounds a bit like my heritage. My mom's paternal GF was married to an Chippewa woman but I have no documentation of that. Her side of the family all came here in the 1700s from Germany and France otherwise. Mom's side of the family, by the time I came around, were her siblings and their kids. Nobody talked about that side of the family. I never encountered Indians until I moved out west, though I had taken an interest in their issues in school during the Alcatraz stand off.

There's a rich history to be told regarding the cultures that were here before the settlers arrived, and how they have survived despite us since.
