Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Minnesota, 2007.

This dissertation is an ethnographic consideration of the perils and possibilities of cultural representation in the context of a particular indigenous sovereignty struggle, at the Mille Lacs Ojibwe Reservation in east central Minnesota. In recent years, as the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe has sought to secure its capacity for self-determination in the courts, it has also worked to maintain amicable relationships with visitors and neighbors by educating these publics about Ojibwe culture and tribal sovereignty. A principal site for these efforts is the Mille Lacs Indian Museum and Trading Post State Historic Site, a former trading post and fishing resort now owned and operated by the Minnesota Historical Society. Staffed predominantly by members of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, the museum has been considered by some an exemplary model of collaborative planning since its redesign in the mid-1990s. Nevertheless, while the Band uses the museum as a platform for self-representation in pursuit of recognition, reconciliation, and rights, non-Native visitors find their own meanings in an often misconstrued Native American identity. I find that particular narrative strategies and spatial practices employed at this site unsettle stable meanings of indigeneity for museum visitors, in ways that are productive but also risk undermining efforts to fix the identity that would act as a certain ground for political action. I suggest that dilemmas of representation here---problems of presence in keeping with postcolonial and poststructural critiques---challenge the liberal promise of the museum and illuminate problems in constituting new forms of subjectivity. I situate this problem in terms of regional and national political debates in order to trouble the sometimes unexamined idea that there is a simple relationship between better cultural representation and improved political standing. In the course of this discussion, I examine changing presentations of Native American cultural materials at several sites, including the Ayer Trading Post and Fort Mille Lacs at Onamia, Minnesota, as well as the National Museum of the American Indian, in Washington, D.C. I attend to competing understandings of these representations and to the role of cultural institutions in fostering political dialogue.
