"What's more American than Native American history?" - Bunky Echo-Hawk
(Pawnee/Yakama)

 

"We did not move to cities to die. The sidewalks and streets, the concrete,
absorbed our heaviness. The glass, metal, rubber, and wires, the speed, the
hurtling masses-the city took us in." - Tommy Orange (Cheyenne/Arapaho)

 

Workshop Theme and Description: Our interdisciplinary workshop in Native
Studies research methods will feature Tulsa, Oklahoma, as not only our
principal gathering place but also our principal "archive." This approach is
significant in that Tulsa features the highest per-capita urban Native
American population in the country. Native peoples living in 1920s Tulsa
christened the city the "Indian capital of the World." Tulsa is Indian
Country indeed. So, rather than pore over traditional archival materials
filed away in Halogen boxes stacked in research center basements, we intend
to explore the primary sources embedded in Tulsa's historical and
contemporary Indigenous avenues, spaces, structures, and communities and
what these places tell us about the topics of Indigenous sovereignty and
survival. While we will read some standard literature in the form of
monograph chapters, journal articles, maps, and Native newspapers, we are
more interested in reading Tulsa's Indigenous cityscape, while inviting some
key members from Tulsa's Indigenous community to help guide us. If Indian
Territory Oklahoma was an endpoint on the traumatic trail of
nineteenth-century gunpoint removals, then we might appreciate how Native
peoples willingly moved to Tulsa for work, education, and social
opportunities, while creating an important Indian city, and remaking and
reclaiming Indigenous space.

 

One student from each NCAIS institution may participate in the three-day
workshop as part of an introduction to critical methodologies in American
Indian Studies. Housing will be provided and participants will be reimbursed
up to $600 for travel.

Interested students should apply directly to their NCAIS Faculty Liaison
