It argues that Indigenous concepts of sovereignty were rooted in complex metaphorical language, in historical understandings of alliance, and in mobility in a landscape of layered interconnections of power. Where some versions of the interpretive paradigm of settler colonialism emphasise the violent 'elimination of the native', this work reveals that diplomatic transactions between the Iroquois Confederacy and British colonial and imperial agents reveal a hybrid language of alliance, sovereignty and territory. These languages and concepts of inter-cultural diplomacy provide contexts that suggest a more nuanced and dynamic relationship between colonialism and Indigenous power. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Northeastern States $x History $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Sovereignty $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Diplomacy $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x History. 650 0 $a Sovereignty. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Government relations. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Politics and government. 830 1 $a Elements in comparative political theory, $x 2633-3597 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017024718.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211102014128.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D26134E969D11EBB000DAFF5DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
