Danica Miller is Assistant Professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Washington Tacoma, which resides on the ancestral homeland of my people, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. Most of my previous work has been on American Indian literature and law, though I have recently begun to focus on the history of Puyallup tribal resistance and sovereignty. I am also deeply involved in the revitalization of my indigenous language, Lushootseed.
