"Indigenous DC invites readers not only to learn about, but also to engage actively with, the US capital as an Indigenous space. Elizabeth Rule has produced an illuminating and accessible work that uncovers stories long in need of telling."?Daniel M. Cobb, professor of American Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"A stunning reorientation of Washington, DC as a fundamentally urban Indigenous space. Impressive?drawing on the history of tribes across the country and the traditional Native nations who still call this region their homeland, Rule illuminates the expansive networks of Native activism, art, and transcontinental delegation that spans centuries."?Holly Miowak Guise, assistant professor of history, The University of New Mexico
"Indigenous DC activates land acknowledgment in its most authentic sense, connecting awareness across deep Nacotchtank ancestral times to contemporary presences. With careful research and accessible interpretation, Elizabeth Rule brilliantly guides us through a Native world persisting alongside daily passages in the nation's capital. Her work restores the memory of those nearly erased from their Potomac homelands, honors those tribal delegates who journeyed here to defend their people, and uplifts the ongoing communities who keep up the struggles for sovereignty."?Gabrielle Tayac, PhD (Piscataway), associate professor of public history,, George Mason University
"Sitting at the intersection of indigenous studies, Critical Geography, and digital humanities, Dr. Rule has written a well-researched and transdisciplinary book, demonstrating how Indigenous peoples have a past, presence, and future in the nation's capital. Indigenous DC will no doubt be the blueprint for future scholars of urban indigenous studies."?Kyle T. Mays, (Black/Saginaw Chippewa), associate professor, Departments of African American Studies, American Indian Studies, and History, University of California, Los Angeles
