Research Interests

Dr. Abram is researching Cherokee women in Western North Carolina from the Removal era through their activism in the 1970s. Her study begins with the challenges Cherokee women overcame during the hardships and losses endured from the attempted Removal actions against them and their families to their adaptations in a post-Removal society wherein they became marginalized by a white society that filled the land they were forced to vacate. Abram is examining the struggle from woman's suffrage through their activism of the Sixties and Seventies when they furthered their civil and political participation within the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
