I'm a specialist in Linguistic Anthropology. I obtained my PhD from UC-Berkeley in French in 1993. I then spent two years in Hawaii, where I got involved with Hawaiian and Tahitian languages. I started at CU in the Department of French and Italian in 1995 working on historical anthropology . More recently, my focus is on contemporary Native America and linguistic anthropology, with a continuing secondary interest in Polynesia. I work primarily with the Arapaho and Gros Ventre/White Clay people at the moment.”

In 2014 Andy published Arapaho Stories, Songs, and Prayers with co-authors William C'Hair and Alonzo Moss. Andy also manages CU's Arapaho Language Project.
