My piece in the @washingtonpost “Made By History” section, 6/6/2020.

@shondagoward My dad was a high school teacher & announced football games for YEARS. My job — basically since I was old enough to write — was to go down to the opposing sidelines before each game and ask an assistant coach to clarify names my dad wasn’t sure how to pronounce. It matters!

@draftingthepast @UNC_Press I had so much fun chatting with you — thanks so much for inviting me on your podcast!

@Cory_Haala Congratulations!!!

A happy update! This fall I'm starting as a tenure-track Assistant Professor of History leading the Museum Studies and Public History program at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. The purple of Northwestern, the gold of Marquette. I can't wait. Go Pointers! #UWSP

@hcmaruyama Mine is a little older, but happy to share it if you’d like to see it!

It's #WomensHistoryMonth! Day 3 of influential Native women: Ola Mildred Rexroat (1917-2017), the only Native woman to serve as one of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) in WWII. Joined the Air Force after the WASP was disbanded in 1944; worked as an air traffic controller.

It's #WomensHistoryMonth! Day 2 of influential Native women: Mi’kmaw runner Patti Catalano (1953-), who set US marathon record for women in the 1980 New York City Marathon. Later set 8 American records (5 miles, 10K, 15K, 10 miles, 20K, half, 30K, full) + held some world records.

It's #WomensHistoryMonth! Day 1 of influential Native women: Wailacki (Round Valley Indian Tribes) Nicole Aunapu Mann, the first Native woman in space. Mann is a Colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps & part of the SpaceX Crew-5 mission that went to the ISS in October 2022.

Whirlwind trip to Philly for #AHA23, but grateful to @lmansley for curating this amazing panel on writing history for kids, to @UNC_Press for lugging my book to the conference, and for randomly finding historian friends wherever I go.

@DenehyLily I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS

@megankatenelson @UnivNebPress Ooh, this looks amazing! Adding it to my (never-ending) reading list!

@DrLisaCorrigan Mine came out last year! uncpress.org/book/978146966…

@kschultz1901 I hate to say it, but yes. Yes, we do. 😬

@Greatbert @BettyRbl @Scholastic Oh my goodness — thank you so much!!

@profkphillips @BettyRbl @Scholastic Awesome!! Just requested that my local library buy it. They bought your Wrangell Island book when I asked and already had your Indigenous Peoples’ Day book too so I have high hopes!

It’s the first day of Native American Heritage Month, and my newest book is here! I’m thrilled to be part of this @Scholastic series — and, as always, grateful for the opportunity to write about incredible Indigenous women!

@_spooky_sushi THIS IS AMAZING!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

@arielabergriger @JimmySkuya @Scholastic Oh my goodness — you are the best! I hope your kiddos love it!
