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.

Katrina Jagodinsky. Legal Codes and Talking Trees: Indigenous Women’s Sovereignty in the Sonoran and Puget Sound Borderlands, 1854–1946
In Legal Codes and Talking Trees: Indigenous Women’s Sovereignty in the Sonoran and Puget Sound Borderlands, 1854–1946, Katrina Jagodinsky argues that settler colonialism in the West from the mid-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries involved more than treaty councils and military showdowns. While these topics have received wide scholarly attention, they also tend to focus exclusively upon men and the political, martial, and legal worlds…

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…
The Quest for a Legal Enemy
In 2004, the Washington Historical Court of Justice and Inquiry-a one-time, quasi-legal public history event-symbolically exonerated Nisqually Indian war leader Chief Leschi of the 147-year-old charge of murder. The judges determined that Leschi, who was captured following the 1855-56 Puget Sound War and indicted on criminal charges in territorial court, was a "legal enemy combatant" who had been unjustly denied the protections afforded to prison…
Mount Rainier and Indian Economies of Place, 1850-1925
This article revisits three familiar narratives of Mount Rainier history from 1850–1925 to illustrate how Native people negotiated with non-Indians to define the economy of place. Indian knowledge of the mountain served as a commodity of value, and its employ can be seen as productive intellectual labor in evolving colonial contexts.
Engaging with Public Engagement: Public History and Graduate Pedagogy
Does an increased enthusiasm for publicly engaged scholarship and service learning at many universities translate into a tangible commitment for such projects? How can historians reconcile their participation in public scholarship with trends that promote neoliberal models of university finance and governance, which often put the university at odds with the public outside and inside its walls? In the fall of 2005, a group of history and American …
