Category: Early modern period 1500-1800 CE

The chronological limits of this period are open to debate. It emerges from the Late Middle Ages (c. 1500), demarcated by historians as beginning with the fall of Constantinople in 1453, in forms such as the Italian Renaissance in the West, the Ming dynasty in the East, and the rise of the Aztecs in the New World. The period ends with the beginning of the Age of Revolutions. This is approximately 1500-1800 AD / CE.

The Goshute Nation: History, Culture, and Modern Challenges

The Goshute Nation, a resilient Native American tribe of the Great Basin, has long been shaped by its deep connection to the arid lands of the Intermountain West. Originating over a thousand years ago, the Goshutes navigated challenging environments through resourceful hunting and gathering practices. Yet, their history is also marked by struggle—displacement, conflict with settlers, and ongoing fights for sovereignty and cultural preservation. Today, the Goshute people work to sustain their traditions while facing modern challenges like limited economic opportunities and environmental concerns.
