2021 Choice Outstanding Academic Title A city of modest size,
Providence, Rhode Island, had the third-largest Native American
population in the United States by the first decade of the
twentieth century. Native Providence tells the stories of the
city’s Native residents at this historical moment and in the
decades before and after, a time when European Americans claimed
that Northeast Natives had mostly vanished. Denied their rightful
place in modernity, men, women, and children from Narragansett,
Nipmuc, Pequot, Wampanoag, and other ancestral communities traveled
diverse and complicated routes to make their homes in this city.
They found each other, carved out livelihoods, and created
neighborhoods that became their urban homelands—new places of
meaningful attachments. Accounts of individual lives and family
histories emerge from historical and anthropological research in
archives, government offices, historical societies, libraries, and
museums and from community memories, geography, and landscape.
Patricia E. Rubertone chronicles the survivance of the Native
people who stayed, left, and returned, or lived in Providence
briefly, who faced involuntary displacement by urban renewal, and
who made their presence known in this city and in the wider
Indigenous and settler-colonial worlds. Their everyday experiences
reenvision Providence’s past and illuminate documentary and
spatial tactics of inequality that erased Native people from most
nineteenth- and early twentieth-century history. Â
