Enjoy this interview featuring Ashton Pemapanik Dunkley! She is a CH '13 alum. - - - - - Ashton Pemapanik Dunkley is a Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape and Jamaican model and Ph.D. candidate from the University of Minnesota's American Studies Department. She graduated from Temple University in 2019 as the institution's first-ever two-time scholar-athlete of the year & with a double major in History and Anthropology/Minor in Italian. While she is currently living in Minneapolis or more accurately, Mni Sota Makoce (homelands of the Dakota people), she was born and raised on her own ancestral homelands, Lenapehoking, the land of the Lenape. Her people are from the Nanticoke and Lenape nations of so-called Delaware and New Jersey & the island of Jamaica. Her dissertation research aims to celebrate these connections by using the theories of Critical Indigenous Studies and Critical Black Studies, particularly Black and Indigenous Feminisms, to explore the histories Black and Nanticoke-Lenape peoples from the tidewaters of the Delaware Bay. She considers herself an Afro-Indigenous Feminist, often thinking about the intimate and embodied connections between Black, Native, and Black-Native peoples (especially her grandmothers) as well as their connections to the land, water, and more-than-human relatives.
