Indigenous Peoples Day offers a reminder of Native American history − including the scalping they endured at the hands of Colonists

火曜日, 10月 3, 2023

In 2021, the Biden administration declared the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day.

Key Points: 
  • In 2021, the Biden administration declared the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day.
  • I am a scholar of Colonial-Indigenous relations and think that officially recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day – and, more broadly, Native Americans’ history and survival – is important.
  • Yet, Indigenous Peoples Day and Columbus Day should also serve as a reminder of the violent past endured by Indigenous communities in North America.

Understanding scalping

    • Popular culture is full of examples of Native Americans scalping white settlers.
    • In several Indigenous cultures in North America, scalping was part of human trophy taking, which involves claiming human body parts as a war trophy.
    • But just because scalping was practiced by some Native American societies, it does not mean that it was practiced by all.
    • In fact, Colonists’ use of scalping against Native American people likely accelerated this practice.

Scalp bounties in New England and California

    • Colonies, territories and states in what is now the U.S. used scalp bounties widely from the 17th through the 19th centuries.
    • Colonial governments in New England issued over 60 scalp bounties from the 1680s through the 1750s, typically during various conflicts between Colonists and Native Americans.
    • Massachusetts made the widest use of scalp bounties among the New England Colonies in the 1700s.
    • State and federal officials, as well as several businesses, supported this genocide by paying bounties to scalp hunters.

Memory and violence

    • Centuries later, California and Massachusetts have had different responses to their role in these sordid histories.
    • California has acknowledged “historic wrongdoings” and the violence committed against the Indigenous people who live in the state.
    • Gavin Newsom set up a a Truth and Healing Council to discuss and examine the state’s historical relationship with Native Americans.

Legacies of scalping

    • The legacies of violence and scalping are deeply rooted and can be observed in numerous parts of U.S. society today.
    • For instance, various communities, including Lovewell, Maine, and Spencer, Mass., are named after scalp bounty hunters.
    • Such town names, and the history of violence connected to them, often hide in plain sight.

Mapping unmarked graves: Why the Mohawk Mothers are fighting McGill University

The ruling comes after a group of Indigenous women known as the Mohawk Mothers called for an emergency court hearing to halt excavations at the site.

Key Points: 
  • The ruling comes after a group of Indigenous women known as the Mohawk Mothers called for an emergency court hearing to halt excavations at the site.

Defining mapping

    • McGill’s lawyer argued that mapping means making a map with points or zones where different archaeological techniques should be applied to find human remains.
    • When all the zones were drawn, the panel could be disbanded because the mapping was over.
    • This interpretation distorts and extensively simplifies the process of mapping the unmarked graves of children.
    • It reduces mapping to a mere checklist item, detached from the ever-changing reality on the ground.
    • While this initial mapping serves as a starting point, the panel should remain involved as the map evolves.

Colonial vs. decolonial perspectives

    • Observing the courtroom proceedings, I was struck by the enduring presence of colonial assumptions about cartography.
    • Indigenous communities continue having to advocate for and defend their cartographic methods in order to uphold their connections and duties to the land.
    • A truly decolonial mapping project centres and respects Indigenous geographical knowledge and protocols, and includes involvement of Indigenous communities in the process.
