Southern lore is full of tales of Indigenous haunting. Local myths speak of the demise of Native nations and their fabled ancient pasts. Alongside these legends, contemporary Native nations endure in their southern homelands. This lecture will investigate the dissonance between stories of historic Native demise and modern Indigenous survival.
Dr. Elizabeth Ellis is an associate professor of history at Princeton University.
