I am seeking to put together a panel on popular re-enactments of historical events, especially of historical journeys, for the ASA Annual Meeting in Albuquerque, NM in October 2008. Performances of past events function simultaneously as both narrations of the past and as embodiments of ideas about history – as the past enacted, “come alive.” Historical re-enactments – such as “living history” educational displays, for example, situate the actors and audience in a relationship that performs subject and nation in relation to place. My work addresses the contemporary re-enactments of Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery and of the flight of the Nez Perce, both 19th century journeys that function as origin stories in the Northern Rockies.
