Join us for a conversation with Clements visiting research fellows Ben Pokross and Emily Dixon-Magness as they highlight Indigenous perspectives and share their work with Native American history resources at the Clements in recognition of Native American Heritage Month.
Pokross examines how nineteenth-century historians, especially in the Great Lakes region, sought to record the history of Indigenous peoples. Dixon-Magness focuses on Cherokee women’s political leadership and the broader Cherokee political strategies between 1754 and 1761.
