Teaching and Research interests: 

My research fields are the history of American Indians and the American West.  My book, Plateau Indians and the Quest for Spiritual Power, 1700-1850 (Nebraska, 2004), examines the ways in which American Indians used their religion to understand the invasion of their homelands, and how that religion changed as a result.  I am currently working on a project about the white photographer Edward Curtis tentatively titled Shadowfaker: Edward Curtis versus the Indians of the Pacific Northwest.  I am also interested in teaching history with new technologies and in promoting ties between academic historians and school teachers.
