Description:

Join us for the next Brown Bag in our series under the theme of "Indigenous Methodologies"!

Brown Bags are open to the CNAIR community and offer a chance to learn from one another, connect and engage in conversation centered on what a practice of using Indigenous Methodologies consists of and how it can be incorporated into your research.

*Don't forget your lunch!

This talk discusses some of my collaborations with Pokagon Band of Potawatomi archivists and language keepers to research the history of Simon Pokagon’s birchbark booklets, primarily those thought to be printed for the 1893 World’s Fair, The Red Man’s Rebuke/Greeting.  I’ll share the research I’ve done as part of an effort to produce a contemporary edition of the booklets, including evidence of the booklets’ readers and a number of makers who complicate the usual focus on Pokagon as single author, in order to open up a conversation about the possible, existing, and/or deferred relationships among Native American and Indigenous Studies methods and research methods in the humanities.
