Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

In a sociopolitical climate where hate is so clearly permeating through our country, it is important to recognize battles that have conquered evils of the past in the form of reparations. My research looks at the reconciliation process that has occurred on Indian Island and how the 1862 massacre contextualizes the events taking place today. Through a difficult history and unique form of restitution, Indian Island provides insight into current Native Politics unparalleled anywhere else in the United States.
