Naomi Sussman<\/strong> is an interdisciplinary scholar who draws on Native Studies, community-engaged, and ethnohistorical methodologies to narrate the Indigenous histories of California and the Southwest. Her current book project, \u201cBetween the River and the Sea: Relational Sovereignty in California\u2019s Native heartland, 1769-1931,\u201d reimagines the California interior as a Native heartland by exploring how the Cahuilla, K\u00fapangaxwicham, Kumeyaay, and Pay\u00f3mkawichum used relationships to sustain their sovereignty over the longue dur\u00e9e. These four Nations\u2019 relational politics reveal that Native people, not missionaries or miners, shaped the region\u2019s destiny over the long nineteenth century. This inheritance of power and resistance animates contemporary Native resurgences in California and North America more broadly. She also seeks to translate histories of Indigenous power into formats that serve contemporary Native sovereignty work. She is currently collaborating with the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians to develop and implement archival trainings for Tribal Historic Preservation Officers and other Native cultural resource management professionals. While a researcher with the NYU-Yale American Indian Sovereignty Project, she also partnered with Indigenous historians and law students to craft an amicus brief that buttressed the Indian Child Welfare Act during the US Supreme Court case Brackeen v.

How have colonial legacies\u2014from the Spanish Colonial period to the present\u2014shaped the lives, lands, and cultures of Indigenous and Latinx peoples across the U.S. and Latin America?
