Abstract

This article reveals how Lake St. Clair Ojibwe communities limited newcomer encroachment and maintained territorial sovereignty by strategically absorbing and then expelling a community of Moravian missionaries and Christian Lenape. In 1782 the Ojibwe allowed Moravians to settle in a liminal Ojibwe hunting territory on the Clinton River. Over five years the settlement expanded, with conflict and cooperation defining Moravian engagement with Ojibwe land tenure and interactions with surrounding communities. Through oratory and formal and informal social practices like verbal warnings, threats, and intimidation, the Ojibwe mediated disputes, regulated Moravian use of land and resources, and attempted to curtail environmental destruction. This article reveals how the Moravian community encountered and experienced Ojibwe land tenure practices, the consequences of transgressing Ojibwe law, and how Ojibwe communities resisted encroachment on traditional lands and territories.

新Gnadenhutten、摩拉维亚传教士和克林顿河上的Ojibwe土地保有权,1781–1787
本文揭示了圣克莱尔湖Ojibwe社区如何通过战略性地吸收和驱逐摩拉维亚传教士和基督徒Lenape社区来限制新来者的入侵,并维护领土主权。1782年,奥吉布人允许摩拉维亚人在克林顿河上的奥吉布人狩猎区定居。五年多来,定居点不断扩大,冲突与合作界定了摩拉维亚人与奥吉布族土地保有权的接触,以及与周边社区的互动。通过演讲和正式和非正式的社会实践,如口头警告、威胁和恐吓,Ojibwe调解纠纷,规范摩拉维亚人对土地和资源的使用,并试图减少对环境的破坏。本文揭示了摩拉维亚社区如何遭遇和经历奥吉布族的土地保有制度,违反奥吉布族法律的后果,以及奥吉布族社区如何抵制对传统土地和领土的侵占。

期刊介绍: Ethnohistory reflects the wide range of current scholarship inspired by anthropological and historical approaches to the human condition. Of particular interest are those analyses and interpretations that seek to make evident the experience, organization, and identities of indigenous, diasporic, and minority peoples that otherwise elude the histories and anthropologies of nations, states, and colonial empires. The journal publishes work from the disciplines of geography, literature, sociology, and archaeology, as well as anthropology and history. It welcomes theoretical and cross-cultural discussion of ethnohistorical materials and recognizes the wide range of academic disciplines.
