Dissertation Research
My dissertation asks what an examination of petitions can tell us about how Indigenous people, women, in particular, created a distinct political identity in the 19th century that adhered to their own personal, cultural, and religious values while using the ideals of American citizenship and interracial coalitions to subvert the settler structures put in place to control them. Moreover, I ask how this region fits into the broader New England Indigenous political community that included Indigenous peoples from dozens of communities and Black, Afro-Indigenous, and Native peoples. My argument builds on growing scholarship on Native studies and settler colonial theory by asking how Wampanoag petitioners expressed their cultural priorities and asserted their right to sovereignty through petitions during the Removal Era.
