They found each other, carved out livelihoods, and created neighborhoods that became their urban homelands-new places of meaningful attachments. Accounts of individual lives and family histories emerge from historical and anthropological research in archives, government offices, historical societies, libraries, and museums and from community memories, geography, and landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Patricia E. Rubertone chronicles the survivance of the Native people who stayed, left, and returned, or lived in Providence briefly, who faced involuntary displacement by urban renewal, and who made their presence known in this city and in the wider Indigenous and settler-colonial worlds. Their everyday experiences reenvision Providence’s past and illuminate documentary and spatial tactics of inequality that erased Native people from most nineteenth- and early twentieth-century history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40967861633121,"sku":"9781496236869","price":26.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37502972_97d81e7f-684d-4980-b2db-c926937ea171.jpg?v=1762101599","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781496236869-native-providence","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
