Hi, I'm Ned Blackhawk.
I'm Western Shoshone.
I teach history.
Yale University.
I was the first tenured American Indian to teach at Yale.
Yes, and I'm still the first.
Tenured faculty member, yes.
No, it is the First World War.
All across British North America, colonists are rejoicing.
Sermons are being offered and Sunday's pamphlets and almanacs are being written about land possibilities in the interior.
And there's this kind of growing sense of shared kind of euphoria that the British government and the British Empire are not just the largest in world history, but also the most virtuous and or free.
They don't listen to the Native peoples.
They don't trade with them adequately.
Pontiac is an Odawa leader, and he's fallen into close affinity with a preacher who's Delaware, or Lenape, named Neolan.
Neolan is the Delaware prophet.
Pontiac is the political leader.
And together, they start articulating a vision for the future that is transformative.
They decide that they no longer want their followers to rely upon
the goods of Europeans.
And it's a process kind of similar to what the colonists are going through.
