Project Description

This work will bring together Indigenous graduate students and professors with historic connections to the Red River settlement zone to collectively study the relational density of Indigenous Peoplehoods both past and present to the Red River. Reading the historiographies of various Indigenous nations who have occupied that region, this research will contribute to the building of critical, local, and global approaches to Indigenous relationality.
