It not only illuminates how land acquires meaning, but also questions the role of the archive in the research process and the construction of narrative. The paper details the methodology and constraints of putting forth an historical argument in an exhibit format, and provides specific examples of that exhibit. From the perspectives of white settlers, local Native Americans, and people associated with Miami University, the exhibit argues that memory of land is constructed of both distinct and overlapping conceptions of land specific to residents of the land. Images of land and its ownership structure the use of land, which then shapes memory. These memories of land underlie our own modern institutions and conceptions of land. 2011-04-28 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1303780078 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1303780078 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
