"Claims to Political Place through the National Council of American
Indians: Locating Gertrude and Raymond Bonnin in the Nation’s Capital."
During the first three decades of the twentieth century, many Native leaders emerged on the national political stage, figuring prominently as lobbyists, contributors of Congressional testimony, leaders of national pan-Indian organizations, and vitally important members of specific tribal communities. Among the most prominent of these indigenous activists were Gertrude and Raymond Bonnin. The Bonnins dedicated themselves to, as they called it, the Indian cause in a variety of ways in this period. Some of their efforts have been well studied by current scholars, particularly Gertrude's autobiographical writings under her self-given name Zitkala-Sa and her early activist scholarship as a prominent member of the Society of American Indians, as Secretary and as Editor of the publication The American Indian Magazine. This essay considers a sampling of the less frequently studied, later efforts of Gertrude Bonnin's, particularly epistolary and pamphlet-writing activities of 1926, 1927, and 1928.

Julianne Newmark published The Pluralist Imagination from East to West in American Literature in January 2015
The first three decades of the twentieth century saw the largest period of
immigration in U.S. history. This immigration, however, was accompanied by
legal segregation, racial exclusionism, and questions of residents national
loyalty and commitment to a shared set of American beliefs and identity.
The faulty premise that homogeneity as the symbol of the melting pot was
the mark of a strong nation underlined nativist beliefs while undercutting the
rich diversity of cultures and lifeways of the population. Though many authors
of the time have been viewed through this nativist lens, several texts do
indeed contain an array of pluralist themes of society and culture that
contradict nativist orientations. In The Pluralist Imagination from East
to West in American Literature, Julianne Newmark brings urban northeastern,
western, southwestern, and Native American literature into debates about
pluralism and national belonging and thereby uncovers new concepts of American
identity based on sociohistorical environments. Newmark explores themes of
plurality and place as a reaction to nativism in the writings of Louis Adamic,
Konrad Bercovici, Abraham Cahan, Willa Cather, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Charles
Alexander Eastman, James Weldon Johnson, D. H. Lawrence, Mabel Dodge Luhan, and
Zitkala-Sa, among others. This exploration of the connection between
concepts of place and pluralist communities reveals how mutual experiences of
place can offer more constructive forms of community than just discussions of nationalism,
belonging, and borders.
