Dr. Rose Miron

Dr. Rose Miron is the Director of the D’Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies at the Newberry Library in Chicago. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in History with a minor in Spanish and a Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of Minnesota. Prior to joining the Newberry in July 2019, Dr. Miron served as the Program Manager for the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, and she continues to serve on their Research Advisory Council. Her current manuscript project, titled “Indigenous Archival Activism: Narrating Nationalism in the Mohican Tribal Archive and Beyond,” examines how Indigenous peoples use tribal archives to claim authority over the creation, assembly, and retrieval of their historical materials and frames this work as a distinct type of Indigenous activism that reshapes narratives of Native history. Her project is based in eight years of close collaboration with the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation.
