解説

The Yamasees were one of the most powerful forces in the early South, yet they remain one of the least understood Indigenous nations of the region. In the archaeological record, Yamasee homelands migrate and disappear; in colonial archives, their movements seem fractured and disconnected. Yet, as Denise Bossy reveals in Yamasee (Yvmvse), the first comprehensive study of the Yamasee Nation, much of this was by their own design.

Drawing from their deep ancestral practices, the Yamasees crafted a dynamic culture of mobility and place-making driven by an unwavering commitment to sovereignty and self-determination. With each migration, the Yamasees transformed new spaces into homelands, becoming the foremost experts of the early Southeast's complex and ever-changing geography, political and cultural landscapes, and sacred spaces.

The Yamasees continued to harness this powerful strategy to navigate and at times even exploit the escalating violence unleashed by European colonialism. This legacy of mobility enabled their survival long after the alleged death of the last Yamasee.
