Among the anticipated outcomes of the grant is the creation of a decolonial archive that centers the voices, memories, and perspectives of Indigenous and African-American communities. In addition, the grant will also work towards an exhibition, at Mystic Seaport Museum (MSM), that provides a more complex engagement with questions of race and sovereignty in the region’s history.  We are eager to collaborate with faculty and staff responsible for and/or working with existing college collections--broadly conceptualized--to co-create, together with our partners at Brown University, Williams-Mystic, and MSM, the decolonial archive and museum exhibition.
