Shirts Powdered Red Haudenosaunee Gender, Trade, and Exchange Across Three Centuries
The Haudenosaunee people are a matriarchal society who trace their roots through the women. However, following the Treaty of Paris of 1783, the United States diplomats, eager to establish their sovereignty over the Haudenosaunee people, ignored this and chose to negotiate only with the male leaders of these nations, often with ineffectual results. Despite the attempt to silence them, female native leaders continued to assert their influence. By looking at the clothing that was bought, created, and remade, Maeve Kane brings to light how Haudenosaunee women used access to global trade to maintain a distinct and enduring Haudenosaunee identity in the face of pressure to relocate or to assimilate into the European-style culture; either way to effectually disappear.
