What do U.S. history textbooks, the Plains Wars, and horse history have to do with Americans' flawed public memory about Native history? Dr. Marshall, American Indian Studies Postdoc, will talk about her research into the connections between them and how Indigenizing our historical narratives and research methodologies can begin to address the problem. Lunch will be served.
