A UNC faculty member earned one of the prestigious Pulitzer Prizes this week, as the awards were revealed on Monday.

History professor and author Kathleen DuVal — who has taught and researched at the Chapel Hill campus since 2003 — saw her latest book, “Native Nations: A Millennium in North America,” named a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for history in the award’s book, drama and music category. The book, which went on sale one year ago, was described by the Pulitzer board as “a panoramic portrait of Native American nations and communities over a thousand years, a vivid and accessible account of their endurance, ingenuity and achievement in the face of conflict and dispossession.”

“I am thrilled to win this incredible honor and to bring it home to Carolina, which has been an amazing home for me my entire career,” Duval said in a release shared by UNC following the Pulitzer Prizes’ announcement.

“This is a well-deserved honor for Kathleen Duval, capping a series of accolades for her sweeping book,” added Jim White, the Dean of the UNC College of Arts and Sciences. “We are incredibly proud of Kathleen and grateful that she shares her immense knowledge with our campus and with the world through this book.”

DuVal shared the history Pulitzer award with Edda L. Field-Black of Carnegie Mellon University, who wrote “Combee: Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid, and Black Freedom During the Civil War.” Each author will receive a Pulitzer citation and a $15,000 prize.
