Hayley Negrin of History has been awarded the Leopold-Hidy Prize for best article of the year
Congratulations to Hayley Negrin of the department of History, who has just been awarded the Leopold-Hidy Award for the best article published in Environmental History in 2023! The award-winning article is Hayley's "Return to the Yeokanta/River: Powhatan Women and Environmental Treaty Making in Early America," which examines a 1677 treaty signed by an Algonquian Weroansqua named Cockacoeske in the aftermath of Bacon's Rebellion, arguing that the treaty was not in fact a sign of declining power but instead a story of Indigenous resilience and kinship with the environment, utilizing the concept of “environmental treaty making.”
