- More about Indigenous DC: Native Peoples and the Nation's Capital
Indian land is in Washington, DC, but Indigenous peoples are often left out of the national narrative. This book highlights the contributions of tribal leaders and politicians, artists, and activists to the District's history and emphasizes that all land is Native land. It is a valuable resource for understanding Washington, DC, regional history and Native American history.
Format: Hardback
Length: 210 pages
Publication date: 03 April 2023
Publisher: Georgetown University Press
Washington, DC, is Indian land, yet Indigenous peoples are frequently excluded from the national narrative of the United States and erased in the capital city. To rectify this myth of invisibility, Indigenous DC illuminates the often-overlooked contributions of tribal leaders and politicians, artists and activists to the rich history of the District of Columbia, and their imprint—at times memorialized in physical representations, and at other times living on only through oral history—upon this place. Inspired by author Elizabeth Rules' award-winning public history mobile app and decolonial mapping project Guide to Indigenous DC, this book brings together the original inhabitants who call the District their traditional territory, the diverse Indigenous diaspora who has made community here, and the land itself in a narrative arc that makes clear that all land is Native land. The acknowledgment that DC is an Indigenous space inserts the Indigenous perspective into the national narrative and opens the door for future possibilities of Indigenous empowerment and sovereignty. This important book is a valuable and informative resource on both Washington, DC, regional history and Native American history.
