Tiya Miles, Professor of History at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, explores the intersections of African American, Native American, and women’s histories. The exhibition Place, Nations, Generations, Beings: 200 Years of Indigenous North American Art includes early-19th century baskets made by Peggy Scott Vann (Margaret Ann Crutchfield), a Cherokee woman who enslaved hundreds of Black people on her plantation and was outspoken against the forced removal of Cherokee people from their territory. In this lecture, Professor Miles addresses the intersections of Indigenous North American peoples, African Americans, enslavement, and dispossession as well as Crutchfield’s beliefs, community building, and activism.
