	Reid, Joshua Advisor: Louis Warren Field: United States Topic: The Maritime World of the Makah	Dissertation History of Indians in the American West typically avoids marine waters, exploring the process and the impact of the loss of ancestral lands. Like other indigenous maritime peoples, however, the conventional narrative does not fit the trajectory of Makah resistance, nor does it leave room for marine space. Unlike other scholars of American Indians, I argue that the Makah shaped their marine space rather than their terrestrial space as the primary location of their identity and success. Strategic exploitation of this space enabled the Makah to participate in global networks of exchange, to resist assimilation, and to retain greater autonomy than many other reservation communities. The 1855 Treaty of Neah Bay between the Americans and the Makah did not result in the loss of cultural and economic autonomy. Instead, in defiance of the treaty terms, the incremental loss of their marine space at the hands of non-indigenous rivals better able to capture the regulatory power of the state undermined Makah autonomy three generations after signing the treaty.
