Biography

Dawn G. Marsh is an Associate Professor in the College of Liberal Arts at Purdue University, specializing in Native American Indigenous Studies. Her research primarily focuses on the history and culture of Indigenous peoples in North America from pre-contact to the early nineteenth century. Given Purdue's location near significant historical events, her work emphasizes the local, regional, and midwestern contexts of Native American history, including the pan-Indian resistance movements led by figures such as Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa at Prophetstown. Professor Marsh is closely associated with Purdue’s Native American Education and Culture Center (NAECC), where she contributes to the academic exploration and discourse on Indigenous histories. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of California - Riverside, earned in 2003. Through her courses, she aims to deepen students' understanding of Native American histories and cultures, preparing them for informed engagement with these critical topics.
