Monumental Mobility: The Memory Work of Massasoit
Installed at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1921 to commemorate the tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrims, Cyrus Dallin's statue Massasoit was intended to memorialize the Pokanoket Massasoit (leader) as a welcoming diplomat and participant in the mythical first Thanksgiving. But after the statue's unveiling, Massasoit began to move and proliferate in ways one would not expect of generally stationary monuments tethered to place. The plaster mod…
Monumental Mobility: The Memory Work of Massasoit
This book is situated within the terrain of intense debate over the placement and displacement of monuments to difficult histories. Installed in Plymouth in 1921 to commemorate the Tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrims, Cyrus Dallin's statue Massasoit was intended to memorialize the Pokanoket Massasoit (leader) 8sâmeeqan as a welcoming diplomat and participant in the mythical first Thanksgiving.

Tracing Settler Colonialism's Eliminatory Logic in Traces of History
Tracing Settler Colonialism's Eliminatory Logic in Traces of History Jean M. O'Brien (bio) No concept has reoriented the field of Indigenous studies recently more than the theoretical framework of settler colonialism. And although Patrick Wolfe would be the first to insist that he did not invent it, his 2006 article, "Settler Colonialism and the Elimination of the Native," offered a language for settler colonial studies that has been immensely in…

What Is a Monument to Massasoit Doing in Kansas City? The Memory Work of Monuments and Place in Public Displays of History
This article explores questions surrounding the memory work of monuments and place by taking up a puzzling instance of public display of history: the presence of an enormous monument to the important seventeenth-century Pokanoket leader Massasoit in Kansas City, Missouri. Given the historical location of the Pokanoket in what came to be called New England, what are we to make of the erection of this monument, in fact a replica of the Plymouth mon…

Why Here? Scholarly Locations for American Indian Studies
This article takes up the problematic relationship between American Indian studies and American studies from the perspective of graduate training and disciplinary boundaries. It argues that while American studies potentially offers an ideal scholarly location for both graduate training and as a national organization (as it does for ethnic studies more broadly), AIS has not embraced, nor been embraced by, the discipline or the organization in ways…
The Indians' New England
Dispossession by Degrees: Indian Land and Identity in Natick, Massachusetts, 1650–1790
According to Jean O'Brien, Indians did not simply disappear from colonial Natick, Massachusetts as the English extended their domination. Rather, the Indians creatively resisted colonialism, defended their lands, and rebuilt kin networks and community through the strategic use of English cultural practices and institutions. In the late eighteenth century, Natick Indians experienced a process of 'dispossession by degrees' that rendered them invisi…
