Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History
<p>Historian Dan Flores' talk on <em>Coyote America</em> to Dr. Jonathan Foster's HIST 102 (U.S. History since 1877) class at GBC, 28 January 2016.</p>
<p><a title="Dan Flores GBC Talk - 28 January 2016" href="http://gbcnv.mediasite.com/mediasite/Play/f3cbfc66eaac44148bc7c3584fbadb561d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View Event [MediaSite Stream]</a></p>
<p>Event sponsered by <a title="Nevada Humanities dot org" href="http://www.nevadahumanities.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nevada Humanities</a> and the <a title="Western Folklife Center dot org" href="http://www.westernfolklife.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Western Folklife Center</a>.</p>
<p>Dan Flores speaks about his forthcoming book, <em>Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History</em> (New York: Basic Books, June 2016):</p>
<p>“[It] is a biography of the animal from its evolutionary origins in the American Southwest five million years ago, its role in inspiring the principal deity of many western Indian tribes, to its 21st century spread across North America and colonization of America's largest cities,” said Flores. “Along the way I'll try to explain how its evolutionary adaptations, so similar to ours, has coyotes mirroring our own successes, one of the reasons it continues as an animal avatar for us in modern culture."</p>
<p>Dan Flores is a cultural and environmental historian of the American West. The author of ten books, Flores’ work focuses on a longue durée approach. According to the Western Folklife Center’s website, Flores’s work encompasses “both history and the present so that today’s westerners can strive to make decisions that promote the long-term health of the land.”</p>
<p>Flores has written widely about western animals, including bison and wild horses, and has two forthcoming books to be released in 2016, titled: <em>American Serengenti: The Last Big Animals of the Great Plains</em>, and <em>Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History</em>. Flores was also a keynote speaker for this year's National Cowboy Poetry Gathering.</p>

Sun Dance in Silver Bow: Urban Indian Poverty in the Shadow of the Richest Hill on Earth
<p>Nicholas Vrooman's talk on the history of the Little Shell Tribe to Dr. John Patrick Rice's COM 101 class at GBC on 28 January 2016.</p>
<p><a title="Nicholas Vrooman Talk - 28 January 2016" href="http://gbcnv.mediasite.com/mediasite/Play/00948c469ea045d2aa0b59647f324eed1d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View Event [MediaSite Presentation]</a></p>
<p>Event sponsored by <a title="Nevada Humanities dot org;" href="http://www.nevadahumanities.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nevada Humanities</a> and the <a title="Western Folklife Center dot org" href="http://www.westernfolklife.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Western Folklife Center</a></p>
Nicholas Vrooman discusses the history of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana, a polyethnic community of Native Americans forming from Cree, Assiniboine, and French roots in the first half of the nineteenth century.
Vrooman was the first State Folklorist of North Dakota and the second State Folklorist of Montana. Currently, Vrooman directs Northern Plains Folklife Resources, based in Helena, Montana.
Vrooman is contracted by the Native American Rights Fund to help write for the Little Shell Tribe of Montana their petition for federal recognition to the Department of the Interior. Vrooman wrote and produced the Little Shell Tribe’s official history book, “The Whole Country was ‘One Robe’”: The Little Shell Tribe's America," funded by the State of Montana.
“The North American West has multiple narratives of who we are and from where we come, some of which are concealed,” says Vrooman. “Finding a voice for some of these little known stories brings to light narrative threads that flesh out and enhance a deeper meaning for life in the American West.”
