For decades, the Miami Nation of Indiana has been fighting for its sovereignty to be acknowledged by the United States government, an effort a group of UWindsor students recently supported by helping preserve historical records.

Led by Dr. Ashley Glassburn, a professor in the Department of Interdisciplinary and Critical Studies, the students travelled to Peru, Ind., to spend a week digitizing the tribe’s archives, preserving records that serve as evidence of community continuity and political authority.

As May marks Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month, the project examines the help-seeking journeys of women who have physically separated from violent intimate partners.
