“The Common Pot: Indigenous Writing and the Reconstruction of Native Space in the Northeast” builds on current conversations within the fields of Early American Indian Literature, American Indian History, and Native Literary Criticism to reconstruct the historical space of the northeast through the writings of its indigenous inhabitants. The project entailed intensive research and recovery of Algonquian and Iroquoian texts, and the development of a theoretical framework based on the language and oral literature from which these texts emerged. While most literary critics have portrayed early native writers either as individuals “caught between two worlds,” or as “subjects” whom, even as they resisted the colonial world, struggled to exist within it, this study demonstrates the ways in which native leaders, including Samson Occom, Joseph Brant, Hendrick Aupaumut, and William Apess, adopted writing as a tool to reconstruct and reclaim “native rights” and “native land.” In particular, it explores the operation of writing within the network of waterways and relations that constitutes the “native space” of the northeast.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a “The Common Pot: Indigenous Writing and the Reconstruction of Native Space in the Northeast” builds on current conversations within the fields of Early American Indian Literature, American Indian History, and Native Literary Criticism to reconstruct the historical space of the northeast through the writings of its indigenous inhabitants. The project entailed intensive research and recovery of Algonquian and Iroquoian texts, and the development of a theoretical framework based on the language and oral literature from which these texts emerged. While most literary critics have portrayed early native writers either as individuals “caught between two worlds,” or as “subjects” whom, even as they resisted the colonial world, struggled to exist within it, this study demonstrates the ways in which native leaders, including Samson Occom, Joseph Brant, Hendrick Aupaumut, and William Apess, adopted writing as a tool to reconstruct and reclaim “native rights” and “native land.” In particular, it explores the operation of writing within the network of waterways and relations that constitutes the “native space” of the northeast.
520 $a From within these texts, a trope emerges that encapsulates this understanding of native space. The “Common Pot” is a metaphor that appears in stories, speeches, and written documents during the 18<super>th</super> and 19<super>th</super> centuries, embodying land, community, and the shared space of sustenance between relations. The “pot” can refer to the village, or to the networks of alliance on which people relied for support. Native leaders often invoked the metaphor to emphasize the need for unity and the reality of interdependence, especially as colonial control over native lands increased. A central contention of the dissertation is that the texts that emerged from within this space constitute a uniquely indigenous literary tradition. Far from being “corrupted” by writing, native people frequently resisted the role designed for them by their missionary teachers, and used the skills they acquired to compose petitions, political tracts, and speeches; to record community councils and histories; and, most importantly, to imagine collectively the routes through which the Common Pot could survive.
