This year’s history category had two winners. Ms. DuVal was honored for “a vivid and accessible account” of Native American nations and communities over a thousand years, the committee said. Ms. Fields-Black won for “a richly-textured and revelatory account of a slave rebellion.”

Artist and author Tessa Hulls published the graphic memoir Feeding Ghosts last year. It chronicles her family’s history with political oppression and mental illness. A Juneau-based author’s graphic memoir won a Pulitzer Prize on Monday for autobiography and memoir.
