Specificatii
In the nineteenth century, nearly all Native American men living
along the southern New England coast made their living traveling
the world's oceans on whaleships. Many were career whalemen,
spending twenty years or more at sea. Their labor invigorated
economically depressed reservations with vital income and led to
complex and surprising connections with other Indigenous peoples,
from the islands of the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean. At home,
aboard ship, or around the world, Native American seafarers found
themselves in a variety of situations, each with distinct racial
expectations about who was Indian and how Indians behaved. Treated
by their white neighbors as degraded dependents incapable of taking
care of themselves, Native New Englanders nevertheless rose to
positions of command at sea. They thereby complicated myths of
exploration and expansion that depicted cultural encounters as the
meeting of two peoples, whites and Indians. Highlighting the
shifting racial ideologies that shaped the lives of these whalemen,
Nancy Shoemaker shows how the category of Indian was as fluid as
the whalemen were mobile.
