>SYMPOSIUM ON THE AMERICAN INDIAN>>

The 41st Annual Symposium on the

American Indian was held at Northeastern State University in Talequah. This years’ theme was “Technology Future, Technology Past: A Woven Link,” as the symposium explored how indigenous societies have endured in the face of technological innovations and the massive cultural changes these innovations have brought. Talks were given by noted Native authors, artists, educators, writers, business and tribal leaders. Other activities included a film series, pow wow, traditional sports, language events and more. >http://offices.nsuok.edu/centerfortribalstudies/TribalStudiesHome.aspx. >>
