Indigenous Dc: Native Peoples And The Nation'S Capital

Washington, DC is Indian land, but Indigenous peoples are often left out of the national narrative of the United States and erased in the capital city. To redress this myth of invisibility, Indigenous DC: Native Peoples and the Nation's Capital maps and analyzes historical and contemporary sites of Indigenous importance in the District of Columbia. This manuscript derives from the Guide to Indigenous DC," a public history iOS mobile application and decolonial mapping project. Now, as a full length manuscript, Indigenous DC intervenes in US History, Native American and Indigenous Studies, and Critical Geography Studies to reveal the centrality of Native peoples to the history of the District of Columbia, highlight Indigenous contributions to the United States and its capital city, and emphasize that all American land is Indian land"--
