In keeping with “Negotiating Sites of Memory” as the presidential theme of the 2015 convention, “Native American Sites of Memory” seeks to explore an archive of materials assembled by five scholars of Native American literature and culture for this occasion. As a field, Native American studies challenges what Ferguson’s call recognizes as “a still prevalent and unidirectional theory of history that distinguishes sharply between modern and premodern workings of collective (and, by implication, individual) memory.”  To emphasize the field’s distinct contribution to this topic, we propose an alternate format—one that resembles the rondo form in music. While our recursive theme is broad—Native American Sites of Memory—it will dwell in its particular examples and invite comparative analysis through its range of range of tribes, sources, media, and scales.
