Who has the right to represent Native history?
Join historians Rose Miron and Kelly Wisecup as they discuss Miron’s new book, Indigenous Archival Activism: Mohican Interventions in Public History and Memory.
Tracing one tribe’s fifty-year fight to recover and rewrite its history, the book takes readers into the heart of debates over who owns and has the right to tell Native American history and stories. It explores the story of the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation and its Historical Committee, showing how their work exemplifies how tribal archives can strategically shift how Native history is accessed, represented, written, and, most important, controlled.
Indigenous Archival Activism will be available to purchase in the Newberry bookshop, and the author will sign copies after the talk.
This program is cosponsored by the Newberry’s D’Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies.
