| book description |

In the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs, Anishinaabe leaders granted land to a college where their children could be educated. At the time, the colonial settlement of Anishinaabe homelands hardly extended beyond Detroit in what settlers called the â€œMichigan Territory.â€ The University of Michigania claimed the Anishinaabe land just after it was granted. By the time that the universityâ€™s successor moved to Ann Arbor twenty years later, Anishinaabe people had been forced to cede almost all their land in what had become the state of Michigan, now inhabited by almost 200,000 settlers. Under the Campus, the Land narrates the University of Michiganâ€™s place in both Anishinaabe and settler history, tracing the universityâ€™s participation in the colonization of Anishinaabe homelands, Anishinaabe efforts to claim their right to an education, and the universityâ€™s history of disavowing, marginalizing, and minimizing its responsibilities and obligations to Anishinaabe people. Continuing the public conversations of the same name on U-Mâ€™s campus in 2023, Under the Campus, the Land provides a new perspective on the relationship between universities and settler colonialism in the US. Members of the U-M community, scholars of Midwest history, and those interested in Indigenous studies will find this book compelling.
