Angelika Joseph's current research and recent publications examine Native American architectural histories, theories, and practices with an emphasis on land-based activism, intertribal cultural production, and decolonization through design. Her book project, provisionally titled Red Power Takeover: Native American Activists, Colonial Landscapes, and the Design of Sovereignty, examines Indigenous activists' seizures of colonial architecture as a method of protest during the Red Power Movement (1969–73). Grounded in the visual and cultural history of this lived experiment, Red Power Takeover strengthens our knowledge of the movement by illuminating how an alternative set of historical actors—including women, children, and the land—imagined, designed, built, and lived sovereignty through their everyday engagements with colonial landscapes.
