- Abstract
The first article, titled "Indigenuity: Native Craftwork and the Art of American Literatures," explores the relationship between Native craftwork and American literary history. The author, Caroline Wigginton, examines Indigenous-made objects from the 17th century to the present day and analyzes their connection to text and communication. Wigginton emphasizes the importance of understanding Native craftwork as intentional design and skillful making, challenging the perception of these objects as mere artifacts. The second article, titled "I've Been Here All the While: Black Freedom on Native Land," written by Alaina E. Roberts, focuses on the history of settler colonialism, enslavement, and citizenship in eastern Oklahoma during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Roberts argues that the attainment of political freedom and economic opportunity for some groups undermined the sovereignty and survival of others. She examines the role of enslavement in the resistance of Native people among the Five Tribes and explores the experiences of African Americans in newly formed Black communities in the region.
