Braccio’s research explores the contested spatial worlds of Algonquian-speaking peoples and Puritan colonists in early New England. His current book project, Creating New England, Defending the Northeast, examines how Indigenous and colonial groups marked and mapped landscapes. He also investigates agrarian violence in colonial America, shedding light on tensions between settlers and Indigenous populations.
His publications highlight the scarcity of colonial maps in early New England and the significance of Indigenous mapmaking practices. Articles analyze figures like Thomas Graves and Philip Wells, linking individual colonial mapping efforts to broader cultural and territorial conflicts.
