## Project History and Future

This project is based on work by Jiyoun Roh ’24 in a term paper for “Indigenous Literatures” (ENG 229) taught by Professor Sarah Rivett. In her paper, Roh used “the form of a tree as a representation of time” to show Princeton’s Indigenous history without following a strict chronological sequence and in “direct contrast to the linear structure of the university timeline” as it is displayed online as the [official history of Princeton University.](http://princeton.edu/meet-princeton/history) Roh’s concept was so compelling that there was interest from multiple groups to develop it into a public visualization. In summer 2021, Rivett gathered a group of scholars in Indigenous history, web developers, with advisors from the VizE Lab (J. Himpele, Anthropology) and the Center for Digital Humanities (N. Ermolaev) for an initial nine-month period of experiments with visualization software, historical research by Isabel Lockhart \*22, and illustrations by Lola Constantino ‘23. In ‘22-’23, project development intensified in a year-long creative and technical collaboration between Anthropology’s VizE Lab and the Center for Digital Humanities, which supported the project with a Research Partnership grant.

The goals of the project are multifaceted, drawing on the past and looking to the future. They are to:

-transcribe the names of early community members as a way to begin to reclaim the earliest recorded histories of the community

-create a foundational dataset of names to use in future research into historical documents and narratives

-recover the names of historical Munsee peoples for use by name-givers in the present-day community”
