#RoadsideMarkerSeries Project
As a researcher and writer, Alyssa Mt. Pleasant works at the intersection of early American history and Native American and Indigenous Studies. She has spent over twenty years studying the history of Haudenosaunee people during and after the Revolutionary War. Beginning in 2013, she expanded the scope of her work to examine public history narratives about Haudenosaunee people and U.S. territorial expansion through the lens of roadside historical markers. Photographs and an interview about this work are part of the Now What traveling exhibit.
Dr. Mt. Pleasant is available for public lectures related to this work.
