Travellers Through Empire examines Indigenous transatlantic voyages from late-eighteenth to nineteenth-century Canada, focusing on Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabeg and Cree individuals who traveled to Britain and other parts of the world. It reconstructs motivations, routes and the social networks that shaped these journeys.

Using newspapers, travelogues, letters and diaries, the book traces political negotiations with the Crown, efforts to raise funds for missionary work, pursuits of education, public readings and performances, and the work of explaining Indigenous cultures to international audiences. It highlights how travellers forged families, friendships and new public identities while negotiating power and representation.

Useful for students and readers of Canadian history, Indigenous studies and cultural history, the study offers fresh perspectives on mobility, diplomacy and cross-cultural exchange within the British Empire.
