At the same time\, they offer glimpses of a more complex set of economic and political relationships that are often glossed over in public memory. Using Durham’s poems as an example\, we’ll consider white women’s historical lack of access to academic forms of history-writing\, their problematic use of the “vanishing Indian” myth to understand and shape public memory\, and the ways that their accounts have influenced local history even today.'\n\nThis program is best suited for adults. Registration is required. This program is offered in person or virtually. Masks are recommended at the library.\n URL;VALUE=URI:/about-us/events/2022/native-american-history-quad-cities SUMMARY:Native American history in the Quad Cities DTSTART:20220324T233000Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
