Lindsay M. Montgomery

Lindsay M. Montgomery is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Centre for Indigenous Studies at the University of Toronto St. George campus. Her work draws on methods in ethnohistory and Indigenous Archaeology to create counter-histories of Indigenous persistence, resistance, and survivance in the North American West. Before joining the University of Toronto faculty, she held positions at the University of Arizona, the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University, and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Her current research is part of a multi-institutional project with Barnard College, Southern Methodist University, and Picuris Pueblo in northern New Mexico. This work explores the evolving socio-economic relationship between Picuris Pueblo, other Pueblo communities, the Jicarilla Apache, and Hispano settlers through an investigation of agricultural practices at the Pueblo between 1400 and 1750 CE.
