History Forum Talk by Prof. Dave Beck
March 18, 12:30pm - 2:00pmMānoa Campus, Sakamaki A-201
The 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago has been called the “most successful of all world’s fairs.†It brought together people from across the world. Several hundred American Indians along with numerous other ‘Native peoples’ came to the fair to work and to be displayed as part of both ‘scientific’ and entrepreneurial exhibits. This presentation will explore both how the American Indians were represented, and how the fair provided (or failed to provide) ‘Native peoples’ with opportunities to participate in a wage labor economy, something that was relatively new to Indian country.
