REVIEW ESSAY: Monahsetah, Resistance, and Other Markings on Turtle’s Back: A Lyric History in Poems and Essays (Maurice Kenny) and The Homing Place: Indigenous and Settler Literary Legacies of the Atlantic (Rachel Bryant), Transmotion, Vol 4 No 1 (2018): Red Readings - guest edited by Scott Andrews

The project will convene a group of regional Native American knowledge keepers, humanities scholars, and digitization and intellectual property experts for project and planning activities associated with the online portal, "Writing of Indigenous New England." At present our growing collaboration includes scholars, librarians, web developers and tribal historians from New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. We seek NEH funding to accomplish three initial goals: (1) convene a 2-day editorial board meeting and planning session, from which we will (2) write up our editorial guidelines and priorities, agree on culturally-sensitive intellectual property protocols, and establish technical specifications for the website; and (3) run three pilot projects at the Tomaquag Museum (RI), Indigenous Resource Collaborative (MA), and Passmaquoddy Heritage Center (ME), to help us establish workflow, clarify budget and staffing expectations, and begin drafting some larger funding proposals.
