ⓘ About Ned Blackhawk
Ned Blackhawk is a professor of American Studies and History at Yale who also taught at the Madison-based University of Wisconsin for a decade between 1999 and 2009. In modern times, Detroit usually celebrates its countless Native and French place names in addition to its founding in the 18th century. Nonetheless, while he was in Jesuit school which had all manner of French martyrs plastered on the walls, hardly any of the teachers ever talked about the Native peoples or the history of the region. They have also provided some great insights into the violence often accompanying land dispossession. Like just about everyone, the American Indians reacted by refashioning themselves and in the process also changing those around them.
