“You Tell Me: Why Aren’t There More Indigenous Voices in Western Histories?â€
Dr. Rob Borofsky
Dept. Anthropology, HPU
History is not a compilation of "the facts." There are too many facts – or what are claimed to be facts – to present a coherent narrative. History is more of a conversation in which people with different facts and different perspectives converse across their differences seeking, hopefully, for common ground. Many acknowledge that indigenous voices should be a part of such conversations. But they rarely make it into Western historical narratives of the Pacific except in token ways. Why? We might ask two related questions: Do those who claim to speak for indigenous groups actually serve mostly their own self-interests? And do Western historians effectively converse with each other or do they mostly acknowledge their Western colleagues' perspectives in token ways as well? Given such dynamics, what “should†histories of the Pacific look like? And how can we start producing them?
