项目摘要

To the Cree of Saskatchewan, he is 'Pisimwa Kamiwohkitahpamikohk', meaning 'The Sun looks at Him in a Good Way'. We know him as Prince Charles. To the Salish of British Columbia, she is 'Mother of all people'. We know her as the Queen. This interdisciplinary project investigates the deep but unexplored connections embodied in these names, between the British Crown and the indigenous peoples of Canada and Northeastern America - one of the oldest diplomatic relationships in the world. It shaped the North America we know today and continues to be 'brightened' and renewed by the Royal family because of its vital role in addressing global challenges linked to the legal, environmental and territorial resurgence of indigenous rights.2024 marks the 260th anniversary of a pivotal juncture in the first 'special relationship' between America and Britain, a massive and expensive diplomatic pageant known as the Treaty of Niagara, when the Indian 'Magna Carta' confirmed Native rights and sovereignty over vast lands and resources. This project uses this and other treaties as lenses to reveal cultures of diplomatic interaction between the Crown and indigenous peoples that are rooted in the 17th century but of increasing global significance today. The project is the first of its kind to examine this globally significant diplomatic relationship in depth and scope.An international team of specialists from Hull, Oxford, Queen's University (Canada), and including one of North America's most prominent indigenous scholars from Dartmouth College (US), in partnership with a network that includes Yale, the College of William and Mary (Virginia), King's College London and a group of museums, galleries and archives in the UK, Switzerland, Canada and the US will, over 48 months:1.connect, examine and interpret a series of unstudied archives and material culture held in the UK, at the Royal Archives at Windsor, the National Archives, and the British Library; in the US, at the Newberry Library (Chicago) and in 13 repositories in the Northeast; and in the Library & Archives, Canada;2. collaboratively produce new materials and avenues of research using a combination of academic, museum and digital platforms;3. create new circuits of international collaboration linking academics, the public, policy-makers, indigenous communities and cultural institutions;4. engage diverse UK audiences in novel ways using an immersive Digital Kinetic Map and a Digital Soundscape that is at the vanguard of innovation in humanities research and museum practice;5. promote Crown-indigenous diplomacy as a significant intercultural asset, of unrealised value to the heritage and experience economy.Seven interconnected workstreams undertaken by 5 core applicants and 2 PDRAs will bring texture, clarity and nuance to this under-researched topic and transform the way that we understand the history of the British Crown, its empire, and the contemporary relevance of its intercultural past. To bring this past into dialogue with the present, we will co-create:- 6 books that illuminate Crown-indigenous relationships and the environment, diplomatic practice, political power, continental perspectives and the historic alliance known as the 'Covenant Chain' that underpins indigenous rights today.- 2 ground-breaking museum exhibits working with prominent Native artists in residency, 3 interactive public workshops, and a schools outreach programme; - a total of 4 international conferences and workshops that will bring together academics, policy-makers and the public- in addition to an immersive Digital Kinetic Map that will animate historic maps from the British Library's collections, and a Digital Soundscape that will re-create diplomatic speeches in the Mohawk language, a suite of curated digital outputs including podcasts, a learning resource, website, and a people-powered research platform that will crowd-source images of objects and the stories of diplomacy.

对于萨斯喀彻温省的克里人来说，他是“Pisimwa Kamiwohkitahpamikohk”，意思是“太阳以一种好的方式看着他”。我们称他为查尔斯王子。对于不列颠哥伦比亚省的萨利希人来说，她是“所有人的母亲”。我们称她为女王。这个跨学科的项目调查了英国王室与加拿大和美国东北部的土著人民之间在这些名字中所体现的深刻但未被探索的联系-世界上最古老的外交关系之一。它塑造了我们今天所知的北美，并继续被皇家“照亮”和更新，因为它在应对与土著权利的法律的、环境和领土复兴有关的全球挑战方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这是一场规模庞大、耗资巨大的外交盛会，被称为《尼亚加拉条约》，当时印度的《大宪章》确认了土著人对大片土地和资源的权利和主权。该项目以该条约和其他条约为透镜，揭示王国政府与土著人民之间的外交互动文化，这些文化植根于17世纪，但在今天具有越来越大的全球意义。该项目是第一个深入和广泛研究这一全球重要外交关系的项目。一个由来自船体、牛津大学、女王大学（加拿大）的专家组成的国际团队，包括来自达特茅斯学院（美国）的北美最著名的土著学者之一，与耶鲁大学、威廉和玛丽学院等网络合作（弗吉尼亚）、伦敦国王学院以及英国、瑞士、加拿大和美国的一批博物馆、画廊和档案馆将在48个月的时间里：1.连接、检查和解释一系列在英国、温莎皇家档案馆、国家档案馆和大英图书馆保存的未研究的档案和物质文化;在美国，在纽贝里图书馆（芝加哥）和13个仓库在东北部;和在图书馆和档案馆，加拿大;2。利用学术、博物馆和数字平台的组合，合作制作新的材料和研究途径;3.建立新的国际合作渠道，将学术界、公众、决策者、土著社区和文化机构联系起来;4.使用沉浸式数字动态地图和数字音景以新颖的方式吸引不同的英国观众，这是人文研究和博物馆实践创新的先锋;5.促进皇冠土著外交作为一个重要的跨文化资产，对遗产和体验经济的未实现价值。由5个核心申请人和2个PDRA承担的七个相互关联的工作流将为这个研究不足的主题带来纹理，清晰度和细微差别，并改变我们理解英国王室，其帝国的历史以及其跨文化历史的当代相关性的方式。为了将过去与现在进行对话，我们将共同创作：- 6本书，阐明了皇冠-土着关系和环境，外交实践，政治权力，大陆观点以及被称为“契约链”的历史联盟，这是今天土着权利的基础。与著名的土著艺术家合作举办了2次突破性的博物馆展览，举办了3次互动式公共讲习班和一个学校外联方案;- 总共4个国际会议和研讨会，将汇集学者，政策制定者和公众-除了身临其境的数字动态地图，将从大英图书馆的收藏动画历史地图，一个数字音景，将重新创建莫霍克语言的外交演讲，一套策划的数字输出，包括播客，学习资源，网站和一个以人为本的研究平台，将众包对象的图像和外交故事。
