Native American Legal Activism in the Early Republic

In this episode of Historians & Their Histories, Prof. James Hill makes the case for Native American agency and resiliency in an age of colonialist expansion. Whereas nineteenth century New Englanders propagated the idea that Native peoples simply disappeared from the region, Prof. Hill's research points to ways that tribes such as the Mashpee Wampanoag used legal means to push back against attempts to erase them from both society and regional history.
