“Indigenous London” examines that city’s history through the experiences of Indigenous travelers – willing or otherwise – from territories that became the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Thrush, who is also a faculty associate at UBC’s Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies, is the author of Native Seattle: Histories from the Crossing-Over Place, which won the 2007 Washington State Book Award for History/Biography. His current project returns to writing about the Northwest Coast of North America. In its very early stages, “Wrecked: Navigating the Past in the Graveyard of the Pacific,” gives a critical cultural and environmental history of shipwrecks, settler colonialism, and Indigenous survivance on the coasts of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.
