Nancy Marie Mithlo, Ph.D. I am an Indigenous (Fort Sill Chiricahua Warm Springs Apache) scholar of race and representation and my work engages comparative global Indigeneity movements in the arts. My training as a cultural anthropologist (Stanford University PhD, 1993) informs how I examine cultural, institutional and political systems that often mask the normalization of bias in contested realms of power. The various uses of visual culture in what is commonly seen as harmless or inert representations in art, archives, and media form the basis of my critical analysis.
