Treatied spaces: North American indigenous treaties in global context

Porter, Joy

Abstract

In 1928, the librarian and scholar Lawrence C. Wroth wrote of how he wished he had been poured “the strong wine” of Indian Treaties as a student instead of the “invincible mediocrity” of the duller literature on the colonial period. This chapter should be seen as part of a more liberal pouring of such “strong wine” at a point in intellectual life when indigenous North American treaty texts and what surrounds them is beginning to assert a more appropriately central place within debates on literature, history, law, political science, and indigenous studies.
