Liza Black is a citizen of Cherokee Nation. Cherokees have three federally recognized tribes: Eastern Cherokee Band of Indians, United Keetoowah Band, and Cherokee Nation. Cherokee Nation claims Black as a citizen. Cherokee homelands are in the Southeast of what is now called the US, but most of our tribe was forcibly relocated to Indian Territory in the 1830s.Currently at UCLA, Black is completing her book manuscript: How to Get Away with Murder: A Transnational History of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. How to Get Away with Murder provides seven case studies of women and girls, including one trans woman. Although at UCLA, Black remains an Assistant Professor of History and Native American and Indigenous Studies at Indiana University where she is slated to be tenured in spring 2022. In 2020, Black published Picturing Indians: Native Americans in Film, a deeply archival book making the argument that mid-century Native people navigated the complexities of inhabiting filmic representations of themselves as a means of survivance. Black has received several research grants over her career, including the pre-, doc and post-doc fellowships from the Ford Foundation; the Institute of American Cultures at UCLA fellowship; and the Cherokee Nation Higher Education Grant.Website: https://www.lizablack.com/Twitter:https://twitter.com/_liza_blackPicturing Indians: Native Americans in Filmhttps://www.amazon.com/Picturing-Indians-Native-Americans-1941-1960/dp/149623264X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2YKNT0MQ6KIII&keywords=liza+black&qid=1667432077&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=liza+black%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-1
