MOLLET

about.

John Mollet is an Indigenous historian and PhD student in American Studies at Yale University. His work focuses on Indigenous activism, media, and social movements in the twentieth-century United States, with particular attention to coalition-building, public narrative, and media strategy. His research draws on archival sources, oral histories, and movement publications, and examines how Indigenous organizers used media as a political tool in the years leading up to the Red Power movement. He is a member of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes (Red Bottom Band).

Alongside his academic research, John publishes zines, produces documentary film and video, and works with sound and music as forms of public history.

Together with his partner, Dempsey, he co-runs Studio Carowe, an alternative media creative studio that supports scholars, researchers, and cultural organizations in translating complex research into accessible, public-facing formats. His contributions emphasize materially grounded, DIY practices, including illustration, print-based design, and Indigenous-centered documentary work.

I am available for consulting, collaboration, and commissioned projects across research, media, and public history.
