Trickster hermeneutics of 19th c. African and Indigenous Seminole naming

Indigeneity theory provides concepts such as trickster hermeneutics, which can generate new ways to examine 19th c. Florida Seminole names and the documents listing them. Trickster hermeneutics of Seminole naming make it is possible to broaden discussion of the complex field of African and Indigenous regional interactions, tease out subjectivities operating in multiscalar identificatory processes, track various trickster practices at work in (post-)settler colonial Florida, follow refusals (personal and collective) animating continental hegemonies, and recognize self-determinist moves at play in early 19th to 20th century Seminole territories.
