  • The Lower Susquehanna Area
    Indigenous Cultural Landscapes Study for the Captain John Smith National Historic Trail: the Lower Susquehanna Area September 2015 Katherine M. Faull, Ph.D. -- Principal Investigator David Minderhout, Ph.D. -- Native American Ethno-Historical Consultant Kristal Jones, Ph.D. -- GIS Research Associate Brandn Green, Ph.D. -- Research Associate prepared under cooperative agreement with Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA and The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Annapolis, MD Revised Final November 2015 Executive Summary The area of the Lower Susquehanna River from Harrisburg, PA to the head of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland contains more than 50 identified sites of significance for Native American history and culture. These sites are part of a larger landscape of river, hills, plains, and waterways that are meaningful to the history and present-day lives of people who claim American Indian descent, especially from the Susquehannock Indians. This study, based on scholarly and oral traditions, argues that remnant peoples of Susquehannock descent were absorbed into the various nations of the Haudenosaunee and continue to have a vital interest in the interpretation and preservation of this stretch of the Susquehanna River. This report provides background and evidence for the inclusion of many of these locations within a high-probability indigenous cultural landscape boundary—a focus area provided to the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay and the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail Advisory Council for the purposes of future

    ` Mohican Archival Activism: Narrating Indigenous Nationalism A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Rose K. Miron IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Jean M. O’Brien and Kevin P. Murphy June 2018 © Rose K. Miron 2018 Acknowledgements I would not have finished this dissertation without the mentorship, support, and help of so many individuals, and I feel grateful to be able to thank them here. The first iteration of this project came through the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) at the University of Minnesota. After cold-emailing a handful of professors and asking them to work with me on a project, I was fortunate enough to receive my first reply from Jean O’Brien, who would become my project advisor and help me structure my first exploration of this topic. Jean also encouraged me to take one of her graduate seminars, where I met a group of graduate students who would mentor me, help me with my graduate school applications, and ultimately become some of my closest friends. Thank you to Katie Phillips, Kasey Keeler, Akikwe Cornell, and Jimmy Sweet. I feel lucky to have known you all for so long and that you were some of my first role models in academia. The members of my undergraduate thesis committee (Jean O’Brien, David Chang, Brenda Child, and Darlene St. Clair) also provided invaluable advice about the project as I entered graduate school. Upon entering graduate school at the University of Minnesota, I was fortunate enough to continue working with Jean O’Brien and add a co-advisor, Kevin Murphy.

  • Teaching the Old New York Diorama
    GRADES 3-5 Teaching the Old New York Diorama Reconsidering the Old New York Diorama The Museum unveiled the Old New York diorama in 1939, as part of the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall. The purpose of this diorama was to celebrate Roosevelt’s Dutch ancestry. The diorama depicts an encounter between Dutch and Lenape leaders in 1660. Many of the details related to the Dutch, such as the buildings and clothing, are shown accurately. But the depictions of the Native people, like many in popular culture, reflect common stereotypes and a fictional view of the past. So in 2018, the Museum added new text to the display to help visitors re-examine the encounter depicted in the Old New York diorama and to correct misrepresentations of the Native people and their relationship with colonists. This is part of a larger effort to acknowledge the ongoing impact of colonialism, as well as the urgent need to reconceive how diverse peoples and cultures are represented in the Museum. © 2019 American Museum of Natural History PAGE 1 Teaching the Old New York Diorama GRADES 3-5 Activity Overview In this activity, students view two different perspectives on the same historical event in order to explore how interpretation affects understanding of history. The activity has three components: 1. BEFORE THE VISIT: Students observe a map of New Amsterdam (lower Manhattan) in 1660 and then a photo of the Old New York diorama. Based on their observations, they infer what was happening in the diorama between Native people and Dutch colonists. In this exercise, students surface the point of view of the people who created the diorama in 1939.
