Non-Indians have amassed extensive records of Shawnee leaders
dating back to the era between the French and Indian War and the
War of 1812. But academia has largely ignored the stories of these
leaders' descendants - including accounts from the Shawnees' own
perspectives. The Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma focuses on the
nineteenth- and twentieth-century experiences of the Eastern
Shawnee Tribe, presenting a new brand of tribal history made
possible by the emergence of tribal communities' own research
centers and the resources afforded by the digital age. Offering
various perspectives on the history of the Eastern Shawnees, this
volume combines essays by leading and emerging scholars of Shawnee
history with contributions by Eastern Shawnee citizens and
interviews with tribal elders. Editor Stephen Warren introduces the
collection, acknowledging that the questions and concerns of
colonizers have dominated the themes of American Indian history for
far too long. The essays that follow introduce readers to the story
of the Eastern Shawnees and consider treaties with the U.S.
government, laws impacting the tribe, and tribal leadership. They
analyze the Eastern Shawnees' ways of telling the tribe's stories,
detail Shawnee experiences of federal boarding schools, and recount
stories of their chiefs. The book concludes with five tribal
members' life histories, told in their own words. The Eastern
Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma is the culmination of years of
collaboration between tribal citizens and Native as well as
non-Native scholars. Providing a fuller, more nuanced, and more
complete portrayal of Native American historical experiences, this
book serves as a resource for both future scholars and tribal
members to reconstruct the Eastern Shawnee past and thereby better
understand the present. This book was made possible through
generous funding from the Administration for Native Americans.
