American Historical Narratives and the Politics of Indigenous Representation
Title and/or Affiliation
Professor of Native American History, Harvard University
Presenter Bio
Philip J. Deloria is Harvard University’s first tenured professor of Native American History. His research and teaching focus on the social, cultural, and political histories and relations among American Indian peoples and the United States, as well as the comparative and connective histories of indigenous peoples in a global context. His first of many books, Playing Indian (1998), traced the tradition of white “Indian play” from the Boston Tea Party to the New Age movement. He is currently completing a project on American Indian visual arts of the mid-twentieth century and serves as a trustee of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian, where he chairs the Repatriation Committee. Deloria will speak to our theme by connecting childhood studies with his past and current research interests.
