Summary
"Speaking for the People argues that turning to nineteenth-century Native writings can provide valuable lessons for thinking about contemporary questions of Indigenous recognition, refusal, and resurgence. These texts illustrate the intellectual labor involved in trying to represent Native peoples to non-native publics, and in doing so, they point toward the difficulties involved in negotiating the character, contours, and circumstances of Indigenous governance under ongoing colonial occupation"--
