Beyond Red Power Poster (2006)
In addition to publishing, I enjoy working on projects that engage the public. From 2005-2006, I served as program director for a series of public events at Miami University devoted to Indian politics and culture called “Beyond Red Power: New Perspectives on American Indian Politics & Culture.”
Clyde Warrior Memorial Building Dedication (2007).
In 2007, Della Warrior (Otoe-Missouria) invited me to create and install an exhibit on the life and legacy of her late husband for the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma’s Clyde Warrior Memorial Building. Entitled “I know who I am,” it incorporates images and text from multiple archives, including his personal papers. I was honored to attend the dedication of the building in December of that year.
Memory Matters (2011)
In 2010, I co-organized a public symposium entitled “Memory Matters” as one of the two inaugural John W. Altman Fellows at Miami University’s Humanities Center. It led to the publication of the conference proceedings in 2011.
In 2016, I completed a 24-lecture Great Courses on American Indian history in partnership with The Teaching Company and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian.
From spring 2020 to spring 2021, funded by an Undergraduate Research Consultant Team grant from the University of North Carolina’s Office of Undergraduate Research, I directed a project with a select group of outstanding students entitled “The Experiential World of D’Arcy McNickle.” In addition to The Experiential World of D’Arcy McNickle website, we created a Google Earth story map, a ClioVis timeline, and The D’Arcy McNickle Interpretive Garden temporary exhibit partnership with the Carolina Community Garden. In the spring 2022 semester, students in Digital Native America (AMST 341) helped to create Experiencing The Garden, a virtual tour of the garden. You can find out more about all of these projects–and links to them–by visiting The Experiential World of D’Arcy McNickle page on this website.
