INDEX DAVID CUSICK DAVID CUSICK 1780 Death of John Logan, Cayuga Indian Chief. Who will mourn for Logan? In about this year David Cusick was born, probably on the Oneida reservation in upstate New York. Nicholas Cusick, his father of the Tuscarora tribe, was a Revolutionary War veteran and had served as an interpreter for the Congregationalist mission to the Seneca. David would become a physician and a painter, and would publish a book about the oral traditions of his tribe. A younger brother, Dennis, would become a watercolor painter, and the brothers would help establish the early Iroquois Realist Style of painting. NOBODY COULD GUESS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT David Cusick “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project HDT WHAT? INDEX DAVID CUSICK DAVID CUSICK 1812 The song “Hey, Betty Martin” was the favorite marching song of the War of 1812. David Cusick would serve on the side of the Americans during this war. His Iroquois village would be burned by the British. US Army Chief of Engineers Joseph G. Swift, while planning the defense of Ogdensburg, New York, met the father of Charles Davies, who was a county Sheriff, and was sufficiently impressed with the proficiency of young Davies to help the family secure him an appointment to the West Point Military Academy of the US Army. Just at this point, Lemuel Shattuck began a diary. The opening sentence of this diary is as follows: “This day 19 years ago I was born into this world a sinner possest of that principle which is opposed to God and his government; totally depraved in all my actions, desires and affections.” LIFE IS LIVED FORWARD BUT UNDERSTOOD BACKWARD? — NO, THAT’S GIVING TOO MUCH TO THE HISTORIAN’S STORIES.

Round The relationship of Native communities to US print culture during the nineteenth century remains fairly obscure today, some 175 years after the Cherokee Phoenix first saw print in New Echota, Georgia in 1828. In this essay, I would like to focus on one aspect of that history that has received even less notice than movable type-pictorial illustration. The lack of attention paid to printed American Indian illustrations is even more difficult to explain than the lack of critical consideration directed toward early Native books, given that one of the common stereotypes attached to Native utterance is that Indians are image-oriented peoples.

  • Writing Native Pasts in the Nineteenth Century A
    WRITING NATIVE PASTS IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Daniel Matthew Radus August 2017 © 2017 Daniel Matthew Radus WRITING NATIVE PASTS IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Daniel Matthew Radus, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 Writing Native Pasts in the Nineteenth Century argues that Native American historians responded to the disciplinary emergence of settler-colonial history by challenging the belief that writing afforded exclusive access to the past. As the study of history developed in the nineteenth century, the supposed illiteracy of indigenous communities positioned them outside of historical time. This exclusion served as a facile justification for their territorial displacement and political subjugation. Though studies of historical writing by Native Americans have shown that authors countered these practices by refuting settler-colonial histories and the racist ideologies on which they were based, none has considered how these authors likewise defended their communities by contesting the spurious premise that, because they did not write, indigenous peoples were unable to situate themselves in relation to their pasts. In Writing Native Pasts, I contend that indigenous writers advocated for the territorial and political sovereignty of their communities by insisting on the authority of their historiographical traditions. They did so, I establish, by making the content, structure, and distribution of their narratives amenable to histories whose authority derived from discursive practices that exceeded the formal constraints of the written word. These writers thus countered an intellectual tradition whose origins were inimical to their pasts and hostile to their cultural and political futures.

  • Race, Gender and Colonialism: Public Life Among the Six Nations of Grand River, 1899-1939
    Race, Gender and Colonialism: Public Life among the Six Nations of Grand River, 1899-1939 by Alison Elizabeth Norman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Alison Norman 2010 Race, Gender and Colonialism: Public Life among the Six Nations of Grand River, 1899-1939 Alison Norman Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2010 Abstract Six Nations women transformed and maintained power in the Grand River community in the early twentieth century. While no longer matrilineal or matrilocal, and while women no longer had effective political power neither as clan mothers, nor as voters or councillors in the post-1924 elective Council system, women did have authority in the community. During this period, women effected change through various methods that were both new and traditional for Six Nations women. Their work was also similar to non-Native women in Ontario. Education was key to women‘s authority at Grand River. Six Nations women became teachers in great numbers during this period, and had some control over the education of children in their community. Children were taught Anglo-Canadian gender roles; girls were educated to be mothers and homemakers, and boys to be farmers and breadwinners. Children were also taught to be loyal British subjects and to maintain the tradition of alliance with Britain that had been established between the Iroquois and the English in the seventeenth century.

  • The Tuscarora Migration in 1713 and 2013: Re-Enactment and Revitalization
    The Tuscarora Migration in 1713 and 2013: Re-enactment and Revitalization By Paris Deirdre Harper (Under the Direction of Don Nelson) Abstract The focus of this study is the development of the 2013 Tuscarora Migration Project, a three-hundred mile backpacking trip from the Tuscarora’s precontact territory in North Carolina all the way to their home in New York. Tuscarora history has often been expressed in terms of defeat and cultural decline. To the contrary, the 2013 Migration Project not only serves to celebrate the Tuscarora’s survival, but it also has the potential to decolonize Tuscarora history in a way that affirms the present and the future of the community. My study considers how the Migration Project is both an agent and reflection of revitalization for the Tuscarora Nation. My objective is to contribute to the community’s ongoing historical research with an extensive annotated bibliography of primary sources, while also documenting the prevailing attitudes and opinions about life in a Nation undergoing change.

Current historiography of Six Nations military between the end of the War of 1812 and the First World War has also neglected the evolution of First Nations militarism and the voice of First Nations peoples, with most military histories including First Nations participation as contributions to the larger non-First Nations narrative of Canada.
