National Parks Service: Home and Homelands
As the Postdoctoral Fellow for Women’s History in the Pacific West WAWH member Nicole Martin developed the National Park Service's virtual exhibit Home and Homelands. WAWH member Annelise Heinz served as an advisor on the project.
This virtual exhibition uses objects and places to tell stories of extraordinary women.
Each entry is from a different national park in the Pacific West, an area stretching from western Idaho to the Mariana Islands that has been fundamental in forging American identity. Each story is a portal connecting us to our past and showing us one of the many ways that women made homes in the diverse places of the Pacific West. Taken together, their stories reveal women’s agency as they sustained life, preserved cultural identities, broke boundaries, and resisted challenges. Home is where you stand.
