With \u003cem\u003eRural Indigenousness\u003c\/em\u003e, Otis illustrates the rich history of Algonquian and Iroquoian peoples, offering the first comprehensive study of their relationship to this northeastern borderlands area. \u003cem\u003eRural Indigenousness \u003c\/em\u003ealso brings the understudied regional history into broader national debates about Euro-American and Indigenous contact in North America. \u003cbr\u003eHere Otis argues that haunting landscapes like the Adirondacks are complex, introducing the term \"location of echange\" to suggest a sense of reciprocity and intricate transaction between people and the land. She likewise emphasizes the importance of class relations and rural society to understand contact history throughout the nineteenth century and beyond. Drawing on archival research, material culture, and oral history, Otis skillfully examines the nature of Indigenous populations in Euro-American rural communities, specifically how the nuanced concept of \"survivance\" . In doing so, \u003cem\u003eRural Indigenousness \u003c\/em\u003edevelops a new conversation in the field of Native American studies that expands our understanding of urban and rural indigeneity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e377 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780815636007\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BLUE LINE BOOK EXCHANGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13007071510583,"sku":"207335","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/2736\/0311\/products\/207335.jpg?v=1573843048","url":"https:\/\/theadkxstore.com\/products\/rural-indigenousness","provider":"The ADKX Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
