  • Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory
    DANGEROUSLY FREE: OUTLAWS AND NATION-MAKING IN LITERATURE OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY by Jenna Hunnef A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Jenna Hunnef 2016 Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory Jenna Hunnef Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2016 Abstract In this dissertation, I examine how literary representations of outlaws and outlawry have contributed to the shaping of national identity in the United States. I analyze a series of texts set in the former Indian Territory (now part of the state of Oklahoma) for traces of what I call “outlaw rhetorics,” that is, the political expression in literature of marginalized realities and competing visions of nationhood. Outlaw rhetorics elicit new ways to think the nation differently—to imagine the nation otherwise; as such, I demonstrate that outlaw narratives are as capable of challenging the nation’s claims to territorial or imaginative title as they are of asserting them. Borrowing from Abenaki scholar Lisa Brooks’s definition of “nation” as “the multifaceted, lived experience of families who gather in particular places,” this dissertation draws an analogous relationship between outlaws and domestic spaces wherein they are both considered simultaneously exempt from and constitutive of civic life. In the same way that the outlaw’s alternately celebrated and marginal status endows him or her with the power to support and eschew the stories a nation tells about itself, so the liminality and centrality of domestic life have proven effective as a means of consolidating and dissenting from the status quo of the nation-state.

  • Redbird Sixkiller Was Born on July 1, 1807 in Cherokee Nation East, Near Lookout Mountain, Georgia
    Redbird A06 Sixkiller 1868 Washington, DC Redbird Sixkiller was born on July 1, 1807 in Cherokee Nation East, near Lookout Mountain, Georgia. As a youth he attended elementary and secondary school in that area, and later he received a scholarship from the Guess Family, a Quaker family, and attended school in New Ark, Delaware, where he studied law and phi- losophy. About 1836, just prior to the Cherokee Removal, Redbird married Pamelia Whaley. She was also born in the Cherokee Nation East. In 1837 Red- bird and Pamelia were informed that they would be forcibly removed from Georgia and would be relocated to Indian Territory, west of the Missis- sippi River. The Indian Removal has become known as The Trail of Tears. Redbird and Pamelia arrived in the Goingsnake District of Indian Territory in the Spring of 1838. They settled near the present day village of Westville, Oklahoma, where they raised a family of eight, five boys and three girls. In 1861 the Civil War started. One would think that an Indian who had been forcibly evicted from his home in Georgia and moved to Indian Territory would not have warm feelings about the United States. Redbird enlisted in the Union Army, and after training he was commissioned a First Lieutenant in the Union Artillery of the Second Brigade. Redbird’s son Samuel served as an enlisted man in the same unit. Redbird served in the Union Army from July 11,1862 until May 31,1865. He was mustered out at Fort Gibson, Indian Territory. His unit was in the battle of Newtonia, Missouri during Sept.
