SUMMARY:Writing Indigenous Diplomacy: Indian Removal and the History of Native American Literature
DESCRIPTION:In the nineteenth century\, when the crisis of Indian removal 
 profoundly reshaped Indigenous America\, many Native American diplomats and 
 intellectuals turned to public speaking and writing to protest or negotiate 
 U.S.-Indian relations. Through their efforts\, scenes of Indigenous 
 diplomacy—in Washington DC\, at tribal councils\, and in military 
 outposts—became an important seedbed for Native American literature. In 
 this lecture\, Dr. Frank Kelderman explores the relation between these 
 diplomatic settings and the history of Native American writing and oratory 
 in the era of Indian removal. How did Native writers and speakers assert a 
 public voice at a time when the power and livelihood of Indian nations was 
 under increasing threat? What kinds of collaborations and deal-making went 
 into these diplomatic scenes\, and how did those shape the meaning of 
 Indigenous texts? And what are the archival\, historical\, and 
 interpretative problems that these writings pose for us as present-day 
 readers? To explore these questions\, this lecture will showcase a range of 
 visual and written artifacts from different archives. Focusing on Native 
 writers and speakers from the Great Lakes to the Missouri River Valley\, it 
 will show how the practice of Indigenous diplomacy gave rise to an 
 unexpected and often misunderstood tradition of Native American writing.
