Dr. Peter Whiteley studies the cultures, social structures, social histories, and environmental relations in Native North America from the 17th century to the present. His research focuses on four areas: Hopi society, culture, and polity in northern Arizona; Cayuga and other Six Nations Iroquois social and political history in northeastern North America and the trans-Mississippi West; Hupa society and culture in northwestern California; and Eastern and Western Pueblo intercultural relations and sociopolitical transformations during and after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.
