National History Day

National History Day is an international competition in which students create their own papers, physical exhibits, documentaries, or websites based on a historical theme. The competition takes several months of student-led research, construction, and writing. 

The theme for 2026 was "Revolution, Reaction, and Reform". My exhibit on Inuit art combined physical media with written word, and discussed the evolution of Inuit art due to colonization. Ultimately, I won second place in the international exhibits category. 

"White Man's Economy":
How commercialization reformed Inuit art

Over a nine month process, I created an exhibit with personalized art, carefully selected quotations, and the testimonies of museum curators. 

You can find the process paper, the annotated bibliography containing all of the sources, and additional, close-up images here
