PASSHE (the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education) provides a quality education to more than 100,000 students across the Commonwealth and beyond. EAPSU (the English Association of Pennsylvania State Universities) is the organization that brings English people together across the state in an annual conference and in publishing this journal. From the beginning of this journal, we have received quality material from people all over the world, and we have published in many specialties within English studies. We have published quality graduate student papers that made it through the peer-review process, faculty members from all ranks, and independent scholars. We have prided ourselves on inclusiveness, fitting the mission of PASSHE. I have served as the editor of this journal during its infant years, but I now hand over the reins to Jeffrey Hotz of East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. I will consider myself the ―founding editor,‖ but I must pass the work on to those in the English departments across the System. Now working as an academic administrator, I do not have the time it takes to give this enterprise the attention it deserves. I feel a bit like Anne Bradstreet or Emily Dickinson, sending her work out into the world. Still, I am happy to have had this wonderful opportunity to meet so many people who have submitted manuscripts over the years. I want to thank Shippensburg University for its moral support and the department of English for reading many, many essays, stories, and poems. I want to thank my editorial board for making some tough calls and for being on the other side of an email when I needed you. Jeff has great plans for the journal‘s future, including registering with EBSCO Host to give the journal more visibility. Thanks, Jeff and the ESU folks for stepping up. All, enjoy this issue. I trust that bigger and better things await EAPSU Online. Better name, anyone? 5 Writing Origins, Writing History: Personal Voice and Nation in David Cusick‘s Sketches of the Ancient History of the Six Nations (1827) Jeffrey Hotz, East Stroudsburg University back to table of contents In his preface to David Cusick‘s Sketches of the Ancient History of the Six Nations (1827), Tuscaroran author David Cusick acknowledges the difficulty of recording ancient Iroquois history and admits his own limitations as an author engaged in translation. Cusick, a member of the Tuscacora nation, is fully aware of the daunting nature of his enterprise: the linguistic and cultural translation of Iroquois oral tradition into written American English. Cusick, in fact, confesses upfront his desire that someone else had assumed this task: ―I have long been waiting in hopes that some of my people, who have received an English education, would have undertaken the work as to give a sketch of the Ancient History of the Six Nations‖ (1). Noting that at one point he had even ―abandoned the idea‖ of the project, he comments, ―I, however, took up a resolution to continue the work, which I have taken much pains procuring the materials, and translating it into English language‖ (1). Cusick‘s manuscript is the end result of a complicated personal and cultural production, a process that critic Arnold Krupat describes as a ―bicultural composite composition,‖ where cultures collide in the individual‘s own act of authoring the work (15). In its very creation, Cusick‘s forty-five page historical sketch possesses the complicated layers of an encounter narrative, where Tuscacoran / Iroquois and Euro-American cultures meet. In Cusick‘s text one finds the intersection of personal voice and competing national histories. In her excellent 2002 article ―Finding a Place for David Cusick in Native American Literary History,‖ Susan Kalter notes that Cusick was ―one of the first Iroquois to record the oral literature of his nation in the alphabetic writing of Western civilization‖ (9). Cusick‘s work, no doubt, underscores the many challenges of being the first. He is the first member of the Iroquois Confederacy—and likely the first Native American (Royster 47)—to transcribe in written English 6 within the form of the mass produced book his people‘s oral stories of national origin and history. As a consequence, his account by virtue of its exclusivity has the potential become the public portrayal to which all future accounts will be compared. To manage the material, Cusick divides Iroquois history into three parts: Part One, ―A Tale of the Foundation of the Great Island, now North America‖; Part Two, ―A Real Account of the Settlement of North America and their Dissensions‖; and Part Three, ―Origin of the Kingdom of the Five Nations, which was Called a Long House.‖ Within these divisions, Cusick attempts to unify Iroquois culture or, as he puts it, ―throw some light on the history of the original population of the country, which I believe never have been recorded‖ (1). Cusick‘s overall narrative goal affirms what in American society today, according to the 2000 Census classification, might be described as ―original peoples status‖ (―State and County Quick Facts‖). By sketching his people‘s origins, Cusick establishes original claims and rights— an aim that propels Cusick to undertake the history in the first place. Engaging anxiously in the creation of a written history of the Iroquois people in the English language, Cusick re-asserts the claims of an ancient culture and recounts as a means of instruction, both for Six Nations members and Americans, time-honored traditions of interacting with other peoples. Susan Kalter rightly advises twenty-first century readers, however, to view David Cusick primarily as a single author, one Tuscacora, telling the history of the Six Nations and the Tuscacora, as he understands it, and not as a work that defines an entire culture. Cusick‘s reluctance to

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.
