Excerpt: ...and he, the sail Sachem, Ninegret, finding that as the white people grew in said Colony and made settlements, they imposed upon said Tribe and got their settlements from them. Some by fraud and some by artful and designing bargains overreachcd them and some others forcibly encroached upon their lands. Wherefore the said Sachem, Ninegret, on the eighth day of March, 1709, did, by an instrument under his hand and seal covenant and agree with the Governor and Company of said colony, that they should have the oversight and care of his land, etc., and that he would not sell or hire out any of his lands without their consent or approbation under the penalty of forfeiting such lands by him, sold and hired, and notwithstanding which several evil minded persons for the lucre of gain, have craftily and designedly cheated the said Sachem of some of his lauds and of the profits of his other lands "So that he has not suflicient to maintain himself and people upon," as may be seen in the Law Book of said colony, page 48, and at the same time said Sachem granted a large tract of land to said colon.v for said purposes as in and by said instrument may be seen, upon which in 1713, a law was made foibidding all persons to purchase or hire lands of said Sachem, 'without the assent of the General Assembly of said colony, under a penalty and making said grant and leases void, and also disannulled all that had been made by said Sachem between the date of said instrument and the making of said law. Many other laws have been made of the like kind since, and no lands were sold by old Ninegret, or any of his property but by assent and approbation of the General Assembly, upon application made to said Assembly. till within a few years past that...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New England Indians created the multitribal Brothertown and Stockbridge communities during the eighteenth century with the intent of using Christianity and civilized reforms to cope with white expansion. In Red Brethren, David J. Silverman considers the stories of these communities and argues that Indians in early America were racial thinkers in their own right and that indigenous people rallied together as Indians not only in the context of violent resistance but also in campaigns to adjust peacefully to white dominion. All too often, the Indians discovered that their many concessions to white demands earned them no relief. In the era of the American Revolution, the pressure of white settlements forced the Brothertowns and Stockbridges from New England to Oneida country in upstate New York. During the early nineteenth century, whites forced these Indians from Oneida country, too, until they finally wound up in Wisconsin. Tired of moving, in the 1830s and 1840s, the Brothertowns and Stockbridges became some of the first Indians to accept U.S. citizenship, which they called "becoming white," in the hope that this status would enable them to remain as Indians in Wisconsin. Even then, whites would not leave them alone. Red Brethren traces the evolution of Indian ideas about race under this relentless pressure. In the early seventeenth century, indigenous people did not conceive of themselves as Indian. They sharpened their sense of Indian identity as they realized that Christianity would not bridge their many differences with whites, and as they fought to keep blacks out of their communities. The stories of Brothertown and Stockbridge shed light on the dynamism of Indians' own racial history and the place of Indians in the racial history of early America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sweeping analysis of colonialism and its legacies, John Wood Sweet explores how the ongoing interaction of conquered Indians, English settlers, and enslaved Africans in New England produced a closely interwoven, though radically divided, society. The coming together of these diverse peoples profoundly shaped the character of colonial New England, the meanings of the Revolution in the North, and the making of American democracy writ large. Critically engaged with current debates about the dynamics of culture, racial identity, and postcolonial politics, this innovative and intellectually capacious work is grounded in a remarkable array of evidence. What emerges from this analysis of colonial and early national censuses, newspapers, diaries, letters, court records, printed works, and visual images are the dramatic confrontations and subtle negotiations by which Indians, Africans, and Anglo-Americans defined their respective places in early New England. Citizenship, as Sweet reveals, was defined in meeting houses as well as in courthouses, in bedrooms as well as on battlefields, in land disputes as well as on streets. Bodies Politic reveals how the legacy of colonialism shaped the emergence of the nineteenth-century North and continues, even to this day, to shape all our lives.
