Speaker's Bio:
Dawn G. Marsh accepted an appointment in the History Department in 2007 with specialization in Native American and Indigenous History. Prof. Marsh’s book, A Lenape among the Quakers: The Life of Hannah Freeman, reconstructs the life of a Lenape woman in the eighteenth century—from the days of her grandmothers before European settlement to the beginning of the nineteenth century. Prof. Marsh works closely with the Native American Educational and Cultural Center (NAECC) acting as Faculty Advisor to the Native American Student Association (NASA) and as a collaborator in the center’s programs. Most recently she developed a minor in Native American and Indigenous Studies in the School of Interdisciplinary Studies and will act as Director of Native American and Indigenous Studies beginning in Fall 2014.
