In 1731 a French army in colonial Louisiana enslaved hundreds of Natchez families and shipped them to Saint-Domingue where they mostly disappear from the written records. This article analyzes tantalizing clues about Natchez families and other Native American slaves on the island during the eighteenth century. By examining slave runaway advertisements, rather than the official records of colonial administrators, it becomes clear that there were hundreds, if not thousands of slaves with Native American ancestry in Saint-Domingue by 1791. Neither the violence of slavery nor the violence of the archive itself can erase the tenacious survival of Natchez people and other Native Americans on the island. In addition to theorizing about the experiences of Natchez slaves, this article suggests that historians can no longer discount the contributions and experiences of Native American people to the history of Saint-Domingue and to the creation of Haiti.

Welsh immigrants and their children comprised a distinct ethnolinguistic community in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This article analyzes the nature of that community and suggests that while ethnic integrity was initially maintained due to linguistic ability, religious adherence, and the creation of popular cultural institutions, it was ultimately undermined, not only by the general forces of acculturation, but also by specifically Welsh factors. While the Welsh experience in Johnstown differed sharply from that undergone by the English, it did not simply mirror that of other non-Anglophone groups.

This article presents a translation and analysis of the only extant formal confession of human sacrifice written in an Indigenous language in the colonial Americas. An analysis of this document, written in Northern Zapotec by the town officials of Yalalag in 1704, provides numerous insights about how a community deployed traditional rhetoric to seek mercy from their civil magistrate, and to provide a justification for committing acts of idolatry and child sacrifice. Rather than aligning with the canonical middle ground (nepantla), often used as a yardstick, this confession eloquently and incisively places Northern Zapotec society in tentative terrain point in terms of their knowledge of Christianity, and depicts Christianization as a long-term process, which confessants boldly tied to latent forms of negotiation.

This article takes the community of San Miguel Achiutla, located in the Mixtec highlands of Oaxaca, as a case study through which to examine the complex involvements of Indigenous pueblos de indios of Mexico in the early modern dynamics of globalization. Drawing from both ethnohistorical and archaeological evidence, this analysis shows not only how residents of this community were affected by forces of globalization as they appropriated new goods and ideas from across the Pacific and Atlantic, but also how they played an active economic role in driving colonial expansion during the sixteenth century, particularly through the silk trade. In tracing these connections, we see how locally focused microhistories can shed light on aspects of early modern globalization that we might not otherwise attend to.
本文以位于瓦哈卡州Mixtec高地的San Miguel Achiutla社区为例，考察墨西哥土著印第安人在早期现代全球化动态中的复杂参与。从民族历史和考古证据来看，这一分析不仅显示了这个社区的居民在从太平洋和大西洋彼岸引进新商品和新思想时如何受到全球化力量的影响，还显示了他们如何在推动16世纪的殖民扩张中发挥积极的经济作用，特别是通过丝绸贸易。在追踪这些联系的过程中，我们看到了以地方为中心的微观历史如何揭示早期现代全球化的各个方面，否则我们可能不会关注这些方面。
