Native Seattle histories from the crossing-over place
Native Seattle histories from the crossing-over place by Coll-Peter Thrush, published by University of Washington Press in 2007, offers a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between Native American histories and urban development. This first edition spans 398 pages and is presented in English. The book challenges traditional scholarship that often overlooks the presence and influence of Native Americans in urban contexts, particularly in Seattle.
Readers will find that Thrush examines how Indigenous peoples have been integral to the city’s history, countering the narrative that suggests a separation between Native identities and urban life. The work delves into the complexities of how urban changes have shaped Native experiences and identities, emphasizing the coexistence of Native peoples and urban environments. Through this lens, the book contributes to the broader understanding of history and Indigenous peoples in the Americas, revealing the vital roles they played in the formation of Seattle and its ongoing evolution.
Official synopsis Publisher
In traditional scholarship, Native Americans have been conspicuously absent from urban history. Indians appear at the time of contact, are involved in fighting or treaties, and then seem to vanish, usually onto reservations. In Native Seattle, Coll Thrush explodes the commonly accepted notion that Indians and cities-and thus Indian and urban histories-are mutually exclusive, that Indians and cities cannot coexist, and that one must necessarily be eclipsed by the other. Native people and places played a vital part in the founding of Seattle and in what the city is today, just as urban changes transformed what it meant to be Native.
