She May Stand
Here Always
Ready: Seeing
the Cherokee
Female
Seminary in the
Histories of
Rhetoric and
Composition


Such Un-seeing Indians gave (and still give) Euro-
Americans a critical distance from materiality and
responsibility, a displacement that is culturally valued
and marked as objectivity
Malea Powell
Blood and Scholarship: One
Mixed-Bloods Story.
Listening to Our Stories and
Re-Tooling Our Histories:
Cherokee Storytelling
Gagoga
 s/he is lying
 Captures the living nature of
stories and the mutability of
meaning
Sgadug
 A community that comes
together to help each other in
times of need.
The stories, teachings, and crafts are a means of keeping the sgadug
strong and of sharing Cherokee culture with others in hope that the
knowledge will continue Chris Teuton, Cherokee Stories of the Turtle
Island Liars Club
The myth of Kanati and Selu
provided the Cherokees with
an explanation for why men
and women in their society
lived the way they did,
occupying separate
categories that opposed and
balanced each other
Theda Purdue, Cherokee
Women: Gender and Culture
Change, 1700-1835
Duyukta: balance
Cherokee History Timeline
 1830: Indian Removal Act & Trail of Tears
 1846: Act establishing both seminaries
near Park Hill, Indian Territory (Oklahoma)
 1850: Students arrive at seminaries
 1860s: Civil war and political pressures
force the closures of both seminaries
 1870-80s: Both seminaries re-open
 1887: Female seminaries burns down,
complete loss (except for one
gradebook)
 1887: Dawes Act (Allotment Act)
 1889: Curtis Act completely dissolves tribal
government
 1909: Newly formed state of Oklahoma
takes control of the seminaries from the
Cherokee Nation
 1910: Male seminary building burns down
completely
The school was not, as people
unaware of the history of the
Cherokees might suppose, a brief and
superficial attempt to imitate a
popular achievement of the white
man; it was part of an elaborate and
carefully studied plan of education.

Mount Holyoke

Local Knowledge
Local knowledge, as I use the tern,
refers to the tacit knowledge
embodied in life experiences and
reproduced in everyday behaviour
and speech
Julie Cruickshank, Do Glaciers Listen?
Local Knowledge, Colonial
Encounters, & Social Imagination


History isnt a dead and remembered object; it is alive
and it speaks to us. We are obligated not just to our
ancestors out of whose lives we make that history but
also to the places and spaces, and the living things
therein, who remember them andthrough them
remember us
Malea Powell
Dreaming Charles Eastman:
Cultural Memory,
Autobiography, and
Geography in Indigenous
Rhetorical Histories
Alma Mater
And the maidens now departing
From this dear old Alma Mater,
From this dear old second Mother
Who has cared for them so gently
Through the sweet years of their girlhood
Leave the wish and prayer behind them
That, as future years roll onward
Blotting out our race of people,
She may stand here always ready,
Glad to welcome Indian children
And to keep alive tradition
Of this proudest Indian Nation.
~A Nineteen-Five Senior
