Holly Miowak Guise (Iñupiaq) is an Assistant Professor in History at the University of New Mexico.

She is interested in the colonial/Indigenous relationship during war and social history.

Her research methods bridge together archives, tribal archives, community-based research, and oral histories with Alaska Native elders and veterans.

Her manuscript in progress, “World War II and the First Peoples of the Last Frontier: Alaska Native Voices and Wartime Alaska” focuses on gender, Unangan (Aleut) relocation and internment camps, Native activism/resistance, and Indigenous military service during the war.

Most recently, she has been working on a digital humanities project that features YouTube videos with oral history content by Native elders, veterans, and Unangan internment survivors.
