For the American Studies Association, meeting in Hartford, CT, Oct 16-19,
2003:
"Rethinking the Indian New Deal."
Seeking papers that evaluate the programs of the Franklin Roosevelt and
John Collier administrations from an indigenist perspective. How did Native
individuals and communities view and respond to U.S. government policies and
agendas during the 1930s? How did they use (embrace, evade or
short-circuit) material projects like those of the WPA and CCC? What
methodological challenges are posed by attempts to recover Native people's
experiences during this historic period-for example, by the limits of the
archival record, by the conducting of oral histories? I especially welcome
research projects that seek to understand the complicated situation of
tribes that were in the early 20th century (and, in some cases, still are)
non-federally recognized (including those in New England). Abstracts
(250-300 words) and c.v.'s by January 20 to
Siobhan Senier, Dept. of English, Univ. of New Hampshire, 95 Main St.,
