Post-Removal Mounds: Earthworks Rising in Oklahoma
Twenty-first-century Oklahoma-where so many Southeastern, Ohio Valley, Mississippi Valley, and other mound-building and mound-stewarding peoples were forcibly removed in the nineteenth century-is witnessing a reactivation of Indigenous practices of building and stewarding large-scale, highly graphic, multiply encoded earthworks. Replicas of historical platform mounds feature prominently at the Chickasaw Cultural Center that opened in rural south-…

Performing Serpent Mound: A Trans-Indigenous Meditation
How have Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers, intellectuals, writers, activists, and performers from diverse backgrounds engaged the evocative Serpent Mound effigy located in what is now southwestern Ohio? And what do their different approaches tell us about Indigenous representation and embodiment? This essay begins to answer these complex questions by performing a series of interpretative acts across and through a wide range of historical…

IntroductionLocating the Society of American Indians Chadwick Allen, Guest Editor (bio) [End Page 2] Through a kindly interest in our race, manifested by Prof. F. A. McKenzie, of the Ohio State University, and as a result of a correspondence between him and a considerable number of the Indians carried on over a period of nearly two years, it became possible for a few Indians to meet in Columbus, Ohio, on the 3d and 4th of April past, for the purp…
Indigenous Languaging
This chapter traces how a chain of readings can result from staging a series of purposeful juxtapositions of multiple texts composed by multiple, diverse Indigenous writers and artists. The literary and cultural theorist Walter Mignolo defines the concept of Indigenous “bilanguaging” as not simply the grammatical act of translating from one distinct language to another but rather the political act of operating between two or more languages and cu…
A Trans national Native American Studies? Why Not Studies That Are Trans- Indigenous
This essay questions both the Special Forum’s invitation to chart a “Transnational Native American Studies” and its assertion, in the call for papers, that issues “surrounding place and mobility, aesthetics and politics, identity and community, and the tribal and global indigenous” have “emerged” from within “the larger frameworks of transnational American Studies.” Through a series of critical and interpretive engagements with examples of contem…

Serpentine Figures, Sinuous Relations: Thematic Geometry in Allison Hedge Coke's Blood Run
Allison Hedge Coke's remarkable sequence of two narrative and sixty-four persona poems, Blood Run, gives voice to the traditions of Indigenous North American mound-building cultures and, most strikingly, to Indigenous earthworks themselves. Central to this project is the poet's literary resurrection of a destroyed snake effigy mound once central to the Blood Run earthworks site, located on what is now the Iowa-South Dakota border, which she perfo…
Tonto on Vacation, or How to Be an Indian Lawyer
This essay investigates the Dell Comics series titled The Lone Ranger's Companion Tonto, produced between 1951 and 1959. In stark contrast to the other versions of this popular Indian character that appeared at one time or another in various media, the Dell comic books depict a Tonto who operates on his own, without the white Ranger at his side. These 1950s comic books, I argue, reflect the dominant culture's fantasy about the purpose of the newl…

Postcolonial Theory and the Discourse of Treaties
