Sovereignty

This iteration of my work on sovereignty is cognizant of its framing as a keyword in a series published by New York University Press. The press is located within Lenapehoking, the historic territory of the Lenape people. As a Lenape scholar, I hold this representation accountable to the people from whose territory it is published.
