Sponsored by the IUN student Anthropology Club and open to everyone; majority of funds raised will be used for the Anthropology Club  scholarship, for academic achievement awards, for stipends to send IUN students to summer field schools, for student field trips, and to bring speakers to campus; from last year's funds we also bought specimens for the IUN Anthro Resource Center.  If you wish to donate books for the sale, please bring them to the sale itself, or if you have a large quantity, stop by the sale or call us and we can pick them up from your car or office.  All year long there are two drop boxes for books, one in the Moraine Lobby near the vending area, and one in Savannah near the bookstore.  Contact Bob Mucci @ 219-980-6607

Is Proud to Present Comedian, Writer, Actor. . . .

Charlie Hill


 Crossing cultures to lighten and enlighten with healing laughter, Americans around the country have been enjoying veteran comedian Charlie Hill in concert for years. This Wisconsin Oneida comic has broken a lot of stereotypes about Indian people through his biting comedy. Charlie has appeared with Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams and Roseanne. A Thanksgiving appearance on Roseanne was so funny and thought provoking ABC gave him a job as a writer. Charlie was the featured performer in the PBS program, On and Off the Res’, from Native American Public Telecommunications. In his appearance at IU Northwest, Charlie will share his humor and unique perspective as a Native American comedian in the national spotlight.

Thursday, October 19, 20067 p.m.
Savannah Auditorium, Indiana University Northwest
free and open to the public

 The IUN Anthropology Club will also have a public showing of Hill’s PBS program, On and Off the Res’, about two weeks before his live appearance at IUN.

Sponsored by the IUN Anthropology Club, Student Life, Center for Regional Excellence, and the Office of Diversity and Equity.

More info on Charlie Hill: Charlie has also been the star of, or featured on, several radio programs in the US and Canada; portions of his NPR program "Club Red" are available on CD. He and his Club Red troupe have been described as “Monty Python with moccasins!”

The blurb from the Club Red web site reads:
Each program spoofs and satirizes contemporary life. We offer poetry slams, film festivals, wannabe Indians and just sheer nonsense.
Regular features include:
          The Adventures of the Flat Earth Rangers - an Indigenous duo who attempt to thwart the discovery of the New World.
          Grandma Mabel - everybody's favorite Indian! Grandma offers wisdom and swap meets from the "big rez".
          Connie Connie - offers insightful interviews with Native newsmakers.
          Dr. Fido Multiplex - Anthropologist-at-large and curator of the Museum of White People, shares the history and customs of the Mall Builders.
