Marcia Crosby
Dr. Marcia Crosby’s lived experiences with her Tsimshian and Haida (British Columbia) maternal and paternal grandparents, parents, and communities inform her work as a writer of Indigenous histories. Crosby has examined the diverse ways that First Nations groups have incorporated external politico-economic forces into their existing patterns of cultural life. She is the author of the influential 1991 essay “Construction of the Imaginary Indian.”
