H-Net Profile

Honored to be interviewed by fellow Dakota War scholar John R. Legg for H-Net's early career scholars series and to be able to pitch my Native Reconstruction concept to H-Net CivWar's subscribers. 

​Native American history’s integration into the history of Reconstruction is only just beginning. The work of scholars like Megan Kate Nelson, Jen Andrella, Alaina Roberts, and others points to the many places in Indian Country that offer insight into this period. It is my hope that we are seeing the rise of a new conceptualization within Greater Reconstruction: Native Reconstruction. Native American history is American history and we will not be able to fully account for the successes and failures of this central period in our history without it.
