From ancient metropolises like Pueblo Bonito and TenochtitlAn to
the twenty-first century Oceti Sakowin encampment of NoDAPL water
protectors, Native people have built and lived in cities-a fact
little noted in either urban or Indigenous histories. By
foregrounding Indigenous peoples as city makers and city dwellers,
as agents and subjects of urbanization, the essays in this volume
simultaneously highlight the impact of Indigenous people on urban
places and the effects of urbanism on Indigenous people and
politics. The authors-Native and non-Native, anthropologists and
geographers as well as historians-use the term "Indian cities" to
represent collective urban spaces established and regulated by a
range of institutions, organizations, churches, and businesses.
These urban institutions have strengthened tribal and intertribal
identities, creating new forms of shared experience and giving rise
to new practices of Indigeneity. Some of the essays in this volume
explore Native participation in everyday economic activities,
whether in the commerce of colonial Charleston or in the early
development of New Orleans. Others show how Native Americans became
entwined in the symbolism associated with Niagara Falls and
Washington, D.C., with dramatically different consequences for
Native and non-Native perspectives. Still others describe the roles
local Indigenous community groups have played in building urban
Native American communities, from Dallas to Winnipeg. All the
contributions to this volume show how, from colonial times to the
present day, Indigenous people have shaped and been shaped by urban
spaces. Collectively they demonstrate that urban history and
Indigenous history are incomplete without each other.
