Excerpt from the introduction: For decades, scholarship in Indigenous Studies has grappled with using and interpreting newspapers, journals, and other forms of printed media. Questions of voice, authority, and purpose interweave with the instruments and articulations of colonialism. They also speak to misplaced and misleading binaries that situate Indigenous peoples at odds with modernity, in this sense through modes of communication. To be sure, media distorts voice, often representing the colonial gaze. Still, even the most mediated sources can prove useful as historical documents, sometimes revealing Native constructions of the world, engagements with modernity, and including the deployment of colonialist systems of communication and memory to serve Indigenous ends. While there is a continuing need for the mapping of colonialism through print culture, it is also crucial that Native American History and Indigenous Studies be informed by rigorous studies of Native American world-making through print.
