RESEARCH INTERESTS I am interested in relations between the indigenous and Europeans throughout the Americas. My publications have spanned Mexico, the Andean region and the Chesapeake. Since 1998, I have also been immersed in the study of Nahuatl, the Aztec language, and am currently pursuing a study of colonial Mexican native language historical annals.
