1)  AT IUN:
Thursday March 25, 1 pm in Savannah 207
Pastor James Wetzstein, University Associate Pastor of
Valparaiso University, speaks at the Anthropology Club meeting:
Last Christmas seven Valparaiso University students traveled
to a remote hospital Mission Station in Papua New Guinea to
continue their study of Christian medical missions. What
they encountered was a country-side and community just two
generations removed from first contact with outsiders. It
was a constantly negotiated combination of traditional
norms, colonial legacies and contemporary best-efforts, and
a people on the brink of an AIDS crisis of African
proportions. Valparaiso University Associate Pastor James
Wetzstein and his wife Tracey accompanied the students on
their trip. He'll be speaking on the nature of the community
and mixed blessing of foreign contact for the people of the
Enga Province of Papua-New Guinea.

IUN Anthro Club One Dollar Used Booksale will be held in
Moraine Center the week of March 29 thru April 2 from 9:30
am to 7:30 pm Monday thru Thursday, and until 1 pm on
Friday.  As usual we will have thousands of books on every
topic imaginable, and they are all one dollar each.   The
web site is at
http://www.iun.edu/%7Eanthronw/cal/2004/03-29-04.htm
If you have books to donate, please bring them to the sale
itself, or stop by the sale and we can get them from your
car or office.  We need extra help this semester, and we ask
that people please give us a hand; the construction of the
new Career Center has made it much more difficult to bring
the books in and out from our storage area, and we will have
to use many small carts instead of a few big ones.  We
especially need help on Sunday March 28 from noon to 4 pm to
set up the sale, and from 1 pm until 4 on Friday to box up
the leftovers.  People who work on Sunday get first pick of
the books as they come out.  But we can use help any time to
sell and sort books, and we will have to restock in the
evenings.  Anyone who works for four hours or more gets a
free IUN Anthro Club Booksale T shirt.

You are cordially invited to attend the March 2004 edition
of the Glen Park Conversation, scheduled for Tuesday, March
23, from 4:00 to 5:30p.m. in the IUN Library, 2nd Floor.  We
will hear from Dr. Ken Schoon, author of Calumet Beginnings,
the new book detailing the history/geology of the Calumet
Region.  In addition, one of our new faculty members, Dr.
Scooter Pegram, will discuss his research interest in the
local Latino community.  As always, Conversations
Coordinator Garrett Cope will have some door prizes to give
away to some lucky folks.  Please join us for some good
conversation and fun with our Glen Park neighbors. A
splendid time is guaranteed for all!

What do a Mole, a Rat, a Toad, and a group of belligerent
Weasels have in common?  They all appear in Theatre
Northwest's enchanting adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's
beloved classic, "The Wind in the Willows" on Saturday,
April 3 and Sunday, April 4 at 2:30 p.m.   The story tells
how Mole, a curious young female, leaves her underground
life for one of adventure and meets the kindly Water Rat,
who agrees to show her the world. On their journey, they
meet the eccentric and very rich, Mr. Toad, who seems to
bring trouble to everyone and an old boxing champion, Mr.
Badger, who leads them to victory in a fight with the
Weasels to recapture Toad's ancestral home.  As the
excitement builds one realizes that this isn't simply a show
about animals with human characteristics, but a show about
the delicate balance among all living things and about the
value of friendship.  Adapted by Chicago Playwright Douglas
Post, "The Wind in the Willows" is also part of an annual
tradition of children’s theatre created in 1971 at IU
Northwest's Theatre Northwest. More than 14 private
performances for schoolchildren complete with audience
interaction and special effects will precede the weekend
public presentation.  “These performances have become a
northwest Indiana tradition seen by hundreds of thousands
throughout the years,” said Pat Ogrinc from Theatre
Northwest. "Each performance is part of the theatre’s
mission to promote a combination of magic, music and comedy
as the ingredients for a great experience for the entire
family."   All tickets are $7.00 with discount rates
available for groups of 10 or more. The theatre is located
in Tamarack Hall on the campus of Indiana University
Northwest. For ticket information and reservations, please
call (219) 980-6808.

Educator, author and human rights activist bell hooks will
speak about her newest book, "Teaching Community: A Pedagogy
of Hope," in the Savannah Auditorium at Indiana University
Northwest on Saturday, March 27 at 9 a.m.  Poor, black and
female, hooks attended segregated grade schools and
discovered the liberation pedagogy of Paulo Freire while an
undergraduate at Stanford University. Her life’s work has
been about developing a teaching method integrating
"anticolonial, critical and feminist pedagogues," She has
authored more than 20 books and is a former professor of
English at City College in New York.
A second public event, which takes place Saturday March 26
at 7:30 p.m. in the Savannah Auditorium, is the original
theatre production, "Women of Heart and Steel," a play
celebrating women involved in social change, sponsored by
the Illinois Women’s History Association. It will tell the
stories of Sylvia Woods (African American Communist CIO
Organizer), Alice Puerala (first woman president of a basic
steel local) and Dolores Huerta (a great sister who never
stops fighting).
The discussion and play are two free events taking place
during a two-day conference entitled, "Building Learning
Communities Engaged in Social Change: A Conversation for
Activists and Educators." Participants will work with other
educators and students to look at merging traditional
college programs with community-based learning centered
approach. They will also explore and share different
teaching approaches and learning experiences.  The
conference will encourage critical dialogue on adult and
worker education for social change. Students, faculty and
staff from many institutions, popular educators from Canada
and Brazil and a cast of educators from University of
Michigan are already signed up. The cost for the
conversation (including meals) is $75. Pre-registration is
required.  To register, please call (219) 981-4259.  Or

Kathy Forgey sent this: The Field Museum is looking for
docents in the soon-to-be-opened Earth Lodge.  Some training
is necessary and will be provided by the Field Museum.
Apparently they would only require you to work once or twice
a month...and you DO get paid, but I don’t know how much.
This would be a great "in" to the museum,  so take advantage
of it while you can!   If you're interested, send an email
to Bloom@fmnh.org

REQUEST FOR VOLUNTEERS-FETTERMAN BATTLEFIELD METAL DETECTOR
SURVEY Dates:  May 1-23, 2004  Location:  15 miles south of
Sheridan, Wyoming The American Battlefields Protection
Program (ABPP) recently awarded the Fort Phil Kearny/Bozeman
Trail Association (FPK/BTA) a grant to complete a metal
detector survey of Fetterman Battlefield in northeast
Wyoming.  The 1866 battlefield, which is a National Historic
Landmark, was the site of one of the worst military defeats
suffered by the United States and its frontier army. The
military contingent, comprised of 79 soldiers and two
civilians, was killed by an estimated force of 300+ Sioux
(Lakota), Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors  along a two mile
section of the Bozeman Trail north of Fort Phil Kearny.
Information on the Fetterman Battle and related sites is
available at: http://www.philkearny.vcn.comSince their were
no survivors from the military command, most of what is
known regarding the battle comes from a few Native American
accounts of the engagement and  artifacts recovered from the
battlefield by military historians, local history
enthusiasts, and ranchers. Native American accounts are few
and sketchy owing to the fact that most were translated
decades after the battle. A post-battle and battlefield map
prepared by the commander of Fort Phil Kearny after his
recovery of the soldiers' bodies, provide limited
information on the military perspective.  The project has
several goals.  These include: 1.  Locate the initial,
intermediate, and final stages of the battle.   2.
Determine the full extent and location of cavalry and
infantry positions using military firearms artifacts.  3.
Determine the full extent and location of Native American
warrior positions and their approach routes to the soldiers.
4.  Provide the Wyoming State Historic Sites a detailed map
of the Fetterman Battlefield, and a final report on the
recovered artifacts for future battlefield management and
planning.  Volunteers are requested to perform the survey.
A professional archaeologist will excavate, map, catalog,
and collect all items identified during the project.
The project will take place in 3 sessions during May:
Session 1:  May 1-7
Session 2:  May 9-15
Session 3:  May 17-23
Volunteers are required to commit to one full week but may
participate in multiple sessions.  Access to and experience
with metal detectors is preferred BUT not required.  Most of
the work will occur on privately-owned land so volunteers
will be required to sign a liability waiver prior to any
fieldwork. Fetterman Battlefield is located approximately 15
miles between Sheridan and Buffalo, Wyoming.  Free camping
is available at the Fort Phil Kearny Visitor's Center (5
miles south of the battlefield), however the site offers no
amenities (i.e. sewer, water, electricity, etc.). The
following links provide a detailed list of food and
accommodations available in Sheridan and Buffalo:

If interested in participating in this project, please
email, fax or mail a letter with the following information:
 1.  Session(s) requested.  2.  Do you have access to a
metal detector?  If so, please provide manufacture and
model.   3.  Contact phone number, email address, and
mailing address.  Please send the letter no later than April

FIELD SCHOOL
Urban African American Archaeology Field school, University
of South Carolina, Columbia SC
Students participate in archaeological field research at a
19th century urban property in Columbia, South Carolina,
called the Seibels House.
We will uncover the information about African American
laborers and the influential Euro-American residents of the
household who owned or employed the laborers.  Participants
will join a team of field workers who will grapple with the
challenges of implementing various phases of a formal
archaeological research design.  Our research team will
complete a number of tasks, each of which will help students
develop specific skills: conducting a formal survey;
constructing  site maps; digging shovel test probes;
excavating a brick kitchen; recovering artifacts; conducting
soil flotation; recording data.   Students will learn how to
identify and process artifacts during lab work.  We will
also explore archival, remote sensing, and other forms of
evidence about the history of the site and past residents.
Field trips to Columbia and Charleston sites are also a part
of the learning experience.  for more info visit:
