General Note:

This dissertation traces an American Indian intellectual tradition of digital and visual rhetoric theories and practices through the study of the early and continuous indigenous sign technologies of wampum belts, pictographs, and petroglyphs--as well as a contemporary site of new media: blogs. This research demonstrates how American Indians have a history of resisting colonial constructs of Indian identity and re-imagining Indianness in hypertextual, [digital-visual] spaces in the face of a still-present digital divide--Condensed from abstract.
