While Jessica Diemer-Eaton is prevalent in many Northeastern historic cultural lifeways, her main focus is on interpretation: how Native Americans and their history and cultures are presented to school children and non-Indian audiences. Jessica's interpretive style pays particular attention to language, terminology, countering stereotypes and objectification, and presenting enlightening topics that challenge popular views of Indian "primitivism." To read more about her views of interpretation of Native subjects, please visit her Yahoo! Contributor Page or click and read her articles directly below.
