“Primary Sources Redux: Telling and Re-telling Native History With Material Culture”
This lecture presents a new approach to indigenous history, drawing on Professor Rand’s own work on the history of the Kiowa people. Working from a desire to take objects as historical sources and dissatisfaction with narratives based exclusively on non-Indian sources, she situates the Kiowas at the intersections of federal Indian law and policy, material culture, and gendered work to retell, in part, a canonical story. She will also discuss a new project on historicizing violence against Native women in Mississippi, which explores the policies and practices surrounding the (non)prosecution of crimes committed against Choctaw women.
