Indigenous Histories and Futures in Wallingford
Public History Research Project
Project Sponsors:

As PI, Alexandra leads a small team of researchers supporting the development of Historic Wallingford’s public project on Indigenous histories and futures in North Seattle and its surrounding waterways. The public research project proceeds from the understanding that urban histories are Indigenous histories, that settler colonialism is ongoing in what is now called the United States, and that the struggle for land back continues unabated.
