The Brothertown Nation of Indians: Land Ownership and Nationalism in Early America, 1740-1840
Brad D. E. Jarvis
A group of educated Christian Natives from a variety of New England tribes came together in central New York in 1785 to form a community of their own, Brothertown, modelled after a New England town with an elected leadership. Brad D. E. Jarvis examines the origins and experiences of this unique Native community as it negotiated to preserve community identity, sovereignty, and cultural stability.
