Indigenous Archival Activism: Mohican Interventions in Public History and Memory
Indigenous Archival Activism: Mohican Interventions in Public History and Memory In-Person
Dr. Rose Miron, Vice President for Research and Education at the Newberry Library in Chicago, will discuss her book Indigenous Archival Activism and the more than decade-long reciprocal relationship with the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans that brings light to their Historical Committee's fight to recover and rewrite their history. The Committee is comprised of a group of Mohican women who have collected and recognized historical materials since 1968. Indigenous Archival Activism, along with on-going efforts of the Tribe, showcase how tribal archives can be used to shift how Native history is accessed, represented, written, and controlled and the importance of building reciprocal relationships with Indigenous nations. Rose will be joined by Sabra Thorner, Associate Professor of Anthropology who will moderate a panel discussion after the talk, and Christine DeLucia, associate professor of history and Williams College. The book talk will take place at the Freidmann Room in the Keefe Student Center, and will be followed by Q&A.
