Exiles and Pioneers analyzes the removal and post-removal histories
of Shawnee, Delaware, Wyandot, and Potawatomi Indians. The book
argues that the experience of these eastern Indians from the late
1700s to the 1860s was at its core a struggle over geographic and
political place within the expanding United States. Even as
American expansion limited the geographic scope of Indian lands,
the extension of American territories and authority raised
important questions about the political status of these Indians as
individuals as well as nations within the growing republic. More
specifically, the national narrative and even the prominent images
of Indian removal cast the eastern Indians as exiles who were
constantly pushed beyond the edges of American settlement. This
study proposes that ineffective federal policies and ongoing
debates within Indian communities also cast some of these eastern
Indians as pioneers, unwilling trailblazers in the development of
the United States.
