Dr. Craig Howe

NEWARK, OHIO - Dr. Craig Howe, a Lakota scholar with a doctorate in Anthropology and Architecture, will give two presentations on the Newark Campus on Thursday February 27, 2003. He is the former Director of the D"Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian History of the Newberry Library in Chicago, and worked for the National Museum of the American Indian for several years. He is now creating an independent firm to develop multimedia educational materials for secondary and post-secondary students, emphasizing an "event-centered philosophy" and collaboration with Native groups.

At 3:30, in Hopewell 68, he will give a talk about "Creating Multimedia Educational Materials to teach Native American History." He will discuss and demonstrate a new hypermedia CD-ROM for teaching Cheyenne history, and materials based on the Lewis and Clark expedition. This talk is designed primarily for OSU students and faculty, but the general public is welcome.

At 7:00, Dr. Howe will present a public lecture in Hopewell 68 entitled "Exhibiting Indians: Communities, Collaboration, and Control," and will emphasize museums. This talk has been scheduled to coordinate with Prof. Cris Warner's special course on Ishi, the "Last Yahi." A reception will follow the talk. The general public is especially invited to attend. There will be no charge for either presentation.

R. David Edmunds will give the second lecture in the Ohio Bicentennial Ditinguished lecture Series. His talk, "Native Ohioans and European Conflict: society and culture Before European Settlement," will be at 7:30 pm, April 2, 2003 in Sullivant Hall Theatre, OSU Columbus. He will give the same lecture the following night at OSU, Newark, Ohio in Founders Hall at 7:30.
