Laura Adams Weaver is an instructor in the English Department and the Institute of Native American Studies and serves as the webmaster for the INAS website. She earned a B.A. and an M.A. in English from California State University, Stanislaus, and is completing a Ph.D. in English at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She specializes in Native American and African American literatures and Narrative Theory. Her work currently focuses on the narrative strategies through which American Indian writers resist the myth of the "vanishing" Indian and reassert a contemporaneous and continuing indigenous presence in the story of American identity.

Her most recent publication is “Indigenous Migrations, Pilgrimage Trails, and Sacred Geography," written with Jace Weaver, in Cave, City and Eagle's Nest (University of New Mexico Press, 2007). She is also the author of several articles about Native American culture, including "Native American Creation Stories" in Encyclopedia of Women and Religion, edited by Rosemary Skinner Keller and Rosemary Radford Reuther (Indiana University Press, 2006), which won the 2006 Waldo G. Leland Prize for best reference tool in the field of history.
