Current
Research Project
I have always been vitally interested in questions of
ethnic and minority identity, and most of my work in
American Indian history reflects that interest. I am
currently working on a manuscript that explores the
relationships between tribal identity politics and federal
Indian policy, using the termination of the Mixed-blood
Ute Indians of Utah as a case study. In addition to
my current writing and research projects, I have published
a series of articles relating to conflicts between Ute
and Paiute Indians and Mormons in the Rocky Mountain
West.
