Author Biography

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz has a doctorate in History and has helped develop and taught Native American Studies at California State University East Bay and University of New Mexico. A veteran activist from the Vietnam era, in addition to anti-war, civil rights, and anti-apartheid organizing, she was one of the pioneers of the Women's Liberation Movement. In the 1970s, she worked with the International Indian Treaty Council lobbying for human rights for indigenous peoples within the United Nations, which she continued during subsequent decades with the organization she co-founded, Indigenous World Association. During the 1980s, she was involved in the Central American non-intervention movement, particularly the indigenous peoples. She is author of eleven books, including The Great Sioux Nation: An Oral History of the 1868 Sioux-US Treaty; Indians of the Americas: Human Rights and Self-Determination; Roots of Resistance: A History of Land Tenure in New Mexico; and most recently, a historical memoir trilogy, Red Dirt: Growing Up Okie; Outlaw Woman: A Memoir of the War Years, 1960-1975; and Blood on the Border: A Memoir of the Contra War. She is presently at work on a history of the United States from the experience of the indigenous inhabitants.
