    A Conversation with Ian Saxine on the Influence of Indigenous practices of property and ownership in 18th-century New England, and New Trends in History Writing Today

    In this episode, hosts Laura Wilson and Ece Turnator engage in a conversation with Professor Ian Saxine about the historical shifts in property, ownership, and legal practices during the 18th century in New England. As Prof. Saxine explains, the practices and concepts of property and ownership among Indigenous communities had a substantial impact on the practices of the colonizers. These Indigenous influences gradually yielded to colonialist practices, particularly after the Dummer’s Treaty (1725-1750). The episode highlights the assertive role of Indigenous agency and its ongoing influence on reshaping the narrative of early United States history.

    In episode six hosts Laura Wilson and Ece Turnator analyze the 2021 interview with Darren Ranco of the Penobscot Nation and Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Maine about the importance of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between the Nation and the University in 2018. The MOU exemplifies a welcome break from the past that rests on an intentional history of genocide (as in the Phipps Proclamation of 1755) and various attempts at dispossession (as in the Maine Indian Rights Claims Settlement Act of 1980).

    A Way to Collaborate: the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation, Stephen Silliman and the Eastern Pequot Archaeological Field School.

    In this episode hosts Justin Schell and Laura Wilson discuss a successful collaboration built between the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation in Connecticut and a UMass Boston archaeologist, Professor Stephen Silliman.  The episode focuses on the fraught colonial history of the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation and how a relationship was formed between an archaeologist and the tribal nation. In the episode, Silliman gives tangible examples of doing restorative archaeology and collaborative scholarly work by empowering the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation and by involving them in the research process. Over time their collaboration ends up altering the nature of the research itself. The episode offers many tangible examples about how professional scholars and scientists could engage with Indigenous communities, and in doing so, help preserve a more complete history.

    ‘File soon. June, 1987’: Archival Diasporas and the Urgency to Save During a Climate Emergency.

    In this episode hosts Petrouchka Moïse and Laura Wilson delve into multiple aspects of the fragile nature of archival content related to BIPOC histories: they are processed less, preserved less and, with the pending climate emergency, they face the highest risk of destruction before they are shared with the wider public. Our guests Christopher Harter (Amistad Research Center) and Patrick Rasico (Fisk University) talk about their experience of working within archives, and in doing so, tell stories that bring together slavery, American Missionary Association, Fisk Jubilee Singers, Louisianan culture and Hurricane Katrina.
