OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

From Homeland to Bordered Lands? Great Lakes Geopolitics and Odawa Family History after 1815

After 1815, the imposition of the international border through the traditional Odawa homeland in the western Great Lakes marked the subjection of Anishinaabeg to colonial rule by either American republic or British empire. The strategies developed by different members of the same Odawa family in Upper Canada and Michigan to deal with the new geopolitical and colonial reality demonstrate the continued flow of people and their ideas around their homeland.

This lecture is being given as the Keynote Address at the Opening Reception for Crossing Borders 2013.
