This collection of original essays explores the tensions between
prevailing regional and national versions of Indigenous pasts
created, reified, and disseminated through monuments, and
Indigenous peoples' memories and experiences of place. The
contributors ask critical questions about historic preservation and
commemoration methods used by modern societies and their impact on
the perception and identity of the people they supposedly remember,
who are generally not consulted in the commemoration process. They
discuss dichotomies of history and memory, place and displacement,
public spectacle and private engagement, and reconciliation and
re-appropriation of the heritage of indigenous people shown in
these monuments. While the case studies deal with North American
indigenous experience--from California to Virginia, and from the
Southwest to New England and the Canadian Maritime--they have
implications for dealings between indigenous peoples and nation
states worldwide. Sponsored by the World Archaeological Congress.
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

chronicles the survivance of the Native people who stayed, left and
returned, who faced involuntary displacement by urban renewal, who
lived in Provi dence briefly, or who made their presence known both
there and in the wider indigenous and settler-colonial worlds.
These individuals reenvision the city's past through everyday
experiences and illuminate documentary and spatial tactics of
inequality that erased Native people from most nineteenth- and
early twentieth-century history.
