Indian Peace Medals: Emblems of Diplomacy
The Smithsonian is revisiting Indian Peace Medals, the engraved medallions given by European colonial powers and later the United States to Native American leaders as tokens of alliance and diplomacy from the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries. The feature explores how these medals functioned as symbols of treaty-making and friendship, and how they are understood today as artifacts of complex and often fraught colonial relationships.
Why now: Renewed interest in how early American diplomacy with Native nations is remembered and interpreted.
