What You Need To Read, December 2020

I wanted to add something new to this quarterly edition of “What You Need to Read.” Because so much of my time has been spent teaching online, with all the learning required to do that passably well, I have asked for and received a large number of suggestions about various online resources useful in Native American History classrooms.  The Newberry Library in Chicago has digitized 9000 individual editions of American Indian Newspapers and a huge trove of materials through the Edward E. Ayer Digital Collection.  Dawnland Voices: Writings of Indigenous New England, is a site with artifacts, maps, documents and community histories. Another great resource on New England is the Native Northeast Portal. The Bethlehem Digital History Project includes “Moravian Indian Diaries, 1763-1765,” along with  the Digital Paxton Collection, provides insights and source material on a dark period in the history of Pennsylvania and the Indigenous communities in Penn’s Woods. The Kilpatrick Collection of Cherokee Manuscripts focuses on the language, culture, and history of the Oklahoma Cherokee, with the materials in the collection dating from the 1890s to the 1960s.  The Occum Circle contains materials by and about Samson Occom. There is a wealth of material on the Haudenosaunee communities in the Albany Indian Commissioners project.  The Missions Initiative housed by the University of Arizona “guides the development of an international, multidisciplinary partnership for cultural resource management of the hundreds of Spanish Colonial Mission sites in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.  I have mentioned on this blog many times the Carlisle Indian School Digital Resource Center.  Also useful is the Genoa Indian School Digital Reconciliation Project.  Students can do a pretty good research project with the digitized Papers of the War Department, 1784-1800. Miami University in Ohio hosts the National Breath of Life Archival Institute for Indigenous Languages, a searchable site.  The Digital Library of Georgia hosts “Southeastern Native American Documents, 1730-1842,”  and a collection of “Cherokee Indian Relocation Records, 1815-1837.” And the Smithsonian has digitized a large number of treaties at the Indigenous Digital Archive Treaties Explorer.  If I have missed something of which you are particularly fond, let me know and I will be happy to share it.  Thanks to all of you who suggested some of these sites to me.

As for the published scholarship, here is the list for the end of this dreadful year.  As always, if I have missed anything, let me know and I will be happy to update this. The next edition of the quarterly bibliography will appear in March of next year. Until then, I hope that all of you stay safe.
