Bulletin description:	The course treats the history of the Great Plains of North America as an international region, comprising the Canadian prairies and the American plains.
Accommodations for Persons with Disabilities:	Any students with disabilities who need accommodations in this course are encouraged to speak with Professor Isern as soon as possible to make appropriate arrangements.
General Education:	Meets requirements for Humanities and Cultural Diversity
Acknowledgments:	This course was made international--that is, the Canadian aspect was introduced and made co-equal with the American--with the assistance of a grant from the Faculty Enrichment Programme, Embassy of Canada. Because of that support, this is the only college course in the world that treats the history of the Great Plains of North America as a continental, bi-national region. Another agency that has helped in all my Canadian work by appointing me a Research Fellow is the Canadian Plains Research Center, University of Regina.
