About me

I am a cultural anthropologist whose areas of specialization include Native American studies, multicultural and women's studies, folklore/oral history/life history, field methods in cultural anthropology, religion, and cultural interpretation.  Currently I am working with the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and National Park Service (Rocky Mountain National Park and Colorado National Monument) to integrate Ute perspectives into the cultural interpretation of these government agencies' lands. 

I have worked with Native peoples in Oklahoma, North Dakota, Minnesota, Vermont, Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah.

Recently (fall 2006) I went around the world on a ship--the experience changed my life. You can see a few (a very few) of my photos in my linked Semester at Sea Powerpoint. Below: Giza Pyramids (Egypt), Angkor Wat (Cambodia), and Burma (aka Myanmar).
