[Massachusetts Historical Society]

Navigating Colonial, Racial, and Indigenous Histories on the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail  The Boston Seminar on Modern American Society & Culture Navigating Colonial, Racial, and Indigenous Histories on the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail Author: Laura Barraclough, Yale University Comment: Maria John, University of Massachusetts Boston Tuesday, 26 November 5:15 PM Massachusetts Historical Society 1154 Boylston St., Boston, MA 02215 Launched by Congress in 1978, the National Historic Trail (NHT) system recognizes historic travel routes that contributed to the making of the United States. This paper examines the collision of colonial, racial, and indigenous histories on the Juan Bautista de Anza NHT, which commemorates the 1775-76 expedition of Mexican settlers from Sonora to San Francisco. While the Anza NHT has been empowering to contemporary Mexican Americans, it struggles to fairly represent the layered impacts of Spanish, Mexican, and U.S. colonization on the region’s Native peoples. The Boston Seminar on Modern American Society & Culture invites you to come join the conversation on Tuesday 26 November at 5:15 PM.
