Biography

Lee Panich is an archaeologist and historical anthropologist. In his research and teaching, he uses a combination of archaeological, ethnographic, and archival data to examine the long-term interactions between California’s Indigenous societies and colonial institutions, particularly the mission system. He has conducted investigations of Native life at various colonial-era sites, including Mission Santa Clara. On these projects, he has been fortunate to partner with members of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and other Native Californian communities, scholars from a range of institutions, as well as numerous students and colleagues from SCU. Among other publications, Lee is the author of Narratives of Persistence: Indigenous Negotiations of Colonialism in Alta and Baja California (2020).
