What's in the Portal?
The Native Northeast Portal presently contains a series of Digital Heritage Items (DHIs) associated with dozens of tribal communities across Southern New England.
 
The items explore nearly 400 years of Indigenous history, community,
culture, sovereignty, land, gender, race, religion, identity, migration, law, and politics.
 
Each DHI, when fully developed, includes a digital image, metadata, and two types of transcriptions.

Scholars Transcriptions
 
One version, requested by tribal elders at the planning stages of the project, provides a faithful representation of the text seen on the digital image.  The elders wanted to be able to follow the words in documents written for, about, and by their ancestors.  Cross outs, super- and subscripts, misspellings, ungrammatical forms, and sideways or upside-down texts are preserved.

Regularized/Annotated Transcriptions
 
A second version, one requested by many educators and students, presents the same information with both the spelling and punctuation regularized for consistent word searching.  We do not change the grammar of the text, however, to keep some measure of the author's speaking or writing patterns.  The texts are then annotated with footnotes and other editorial interventions.

For fully developed Annotated Transcriptions, names and geographical locations are hyperlinked.  When clicked, the page reveals biographies.  For some individuals, when known, their parents, spouses, and children may be linked on the side.  ​
