In this project, I argue that over the winter of 1833–34 Fort Clark and its various spaces constituted a Middle Ground space, whose practices and shared cultures were actively co-created by non-Native fur company personnel and the Native residents of the five villages of the Awatíkihu. The basis for this argument is the exchange processes that one sees repeatedly in Prince Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied’s journals (View Part 2.). This portion of the project reorganizes these journal entries around Numak'aki themes and historical persons.
The visualization above is interactive. To read about a particular concept or person, simply click on its red circle, then click on the blue “View” button that appears. You can also visit the journal and media pages linked to each concept or historical person by clicking an orange (journal) or green (media) pop-out circle, then clicking the blue “View” button that appears.
Alternatively, you can choose an entry via the alphabetized hyperlinks below, or by clicking on the blue navigation button at the bottom of the page. The adjacent backward arrows («) key will take you to the previous page in the path, while the greyed section title above each entry’s title will return you to this landing page.
To see an image file in greater detail, or to find all other citations of the file throughout the project, click an image to pull up its detailed Media page. You can then travel to other project locations through the citational hyperlinks or click the 
at the top right to return to your original entry page.
Photographs of the source journals in old German, written in Wied-Neuwied’s hand, are found at the bottom of each journal page. Click on the image to operate its zoom capability.
Hyperlinks in each entry connect you to a host of other locations within the project: media files, other journal entries, or thematic and figure pages. Hover over a link and a tooltip will appear to let you know where the link will take you. Once there, a blue “Return” button at the top right will bring you back to your original page (as does the browser back button), if desired. You can also continue forward, making your own choice from the various options linked to the new page.
There are also cross references to paragraphs in the Scholarly Article. Click on the small text icon in the left margin and a pop-up note appears with the referenced text and a link to the article page (e.g. “portraiture as calumet” ).
The Table of Contents for the entire project is always available in the top left corner.
The Recent Menu displays recently visited pages, useful for retracing one's steps.
