“We have been honored to safeguard Fielding’s diaries for the last 15-plus years, and make them available for research and teaching,” Sauer said. “We believe that these papers coming home is really Fidelia coming home to us. “The process has been such a wonderful experience for us because everyone at Cornell has been so open to understanding why these papers are so important to us, and so helpful and so willing to share in our happiness in their return,” Malerba said. The Mohegan Tribe reached out to Cornell last year to request the transfer of Fielding’s papers to help with their language revitalization efforts. “Her papers coming back to us sends a powerful message for the next generation: Our language is not lost and that they can be part of its restoration.” “Fidelia’s work is so important in preserving our language and ensuring that it lives on,” she said.

Malerba noted the tribe’s ongoing language revitalization program. “We believe that these papers coming home is really Fidelia coming home to us,” said Lynn Malerba, chief of the Mohegan Tribe. Other diaries and documents were lost in a fire after her death. The papers include three diaries and a copy of the Lord’s Prayer in Mohegan – the only known surviving documents from Fielding.
