SUMMARY:Bison exhibit at University of Nebraska State Museum Morrill Hall
DESCRIPTION:BISON – a traveling exhibit exploring the past\, present\, and future of this great North American mammal – will be at the University of Nebraska State Museum Morrill Hall from November 8 through May 31. \nThe exhibit explores the significance of bison in the cultures of Plains Indian peoples–particularly as a resource for food\, clothing\, shelter and tools. That co-existence changed dramatically with the closing of the frontier that brought new settlers with livestock to compete for grass and water during a time of climate and habitat change. These developments were exacerbated by the commodification of the bison as hide and bone in late nineteenth century industrialization. The most recent chapter of the bison story is both significant and complex: the romance of rescuing and preserving bison; the science of genetic diversity within the species; the dynamics of poachers\, profiteers\, and producers both industrial and small-scale; marketing bison fiber and meat to the 21st century customer. The exhibit highlights the role of the National Buffalo Foundation in bringing together a community of stakeholders to celebrate and promote the bison’s heritage and to raise awareness of that story. \nThe museum is open Tuesday – Saturday 9:00am – 5:00pm and Sunday 12:00pm – 5:00pm\nMorrill Hall is closed on Mondays and select holidays (January 1\, July 4\, Thanksgiving Day\, December 24 & 25). \nMuseum admission: $13.00\, Children (ages 3-11) $7.50\, under 3 FREE\nMuseums for All (with SNAP\, EBT\, or WIC Card) $1.00\nMuseum Members\, UNL NCard Holders\, ASTC Members\, Blue Star (active-duty military\, guard\, reserves & families with ID) FREE\n*A $1 discount is available for Seniors (65+)\, or Active/Veteran Military (with ID) on regular admission

SUMMARY:The Negro Motorist Green Book exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Negro Motorist Green Book offers an immersive look at the reality of travel for African Americans in mid-century America\, and how the annual guide served as an indispensable resource for the nation’s rising African American middle class. The exhibition includes artifacts such as historic footage\, images and firsthand accounts to convey not only the apprehension felt by African American travelers\, but also the resilience\, innovation and elegance of people fighting to live a full American existence. It will bring focus to a vibrant parallel world of African American businesses\, the rise of the Black leisure class in the United States and the important role The Green Book played in facilitating the second wave of the Great Migration. \nThe Green Book was published and distributed nationwide from 1936 until 1967\, providing African American travelers with information on restaurants\, gas stations\, department stores and other businesses that welcomed Black travelers. In an era of Jim Crow laws and “sundown towns\,” The Green Book offered critical\, life-saving information and sanctuary. \nMuseum hours: Sunday\, Noon – 4PM; Tuesday-Saturday; 10AM-4PM; closed Mondays. \nAdmission free for members\, $15 for adults\, with discounts for seniors\, military members and veterans\, and children. \n

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poets Reading Series: Chuck Peek
DESCRIPTION:The free monthly Nebraska Poets Reading Series highlights the talent of Nebraska poets and invites discussion with audience members. All events are free online\, but registration is required to receive an event link. Registration links for each poet’s event and additional details about each poet are available on the Nebraska Poetry Society’s website. \nChuck Peek is a Great Plains poet whose work is pastoral\, funny\, and sharp as the Nebraska wind. He captures the quirks and truths of Great Plains life with wit and warmth. \nChuck Peek is a Provincetown storyteller who musician Zoe Lewis called “one of the magic people we have met on the road of life\,” and some witty guy once dubbed him “the Johnathan Winters of Willa Cather Scholars.” His curriculum vita began by citing driving the Etoile in Paris at morning rush hour and holding the liquor license for the Cather Foundation. One book\, two chapbooks\, and dozens of individual poems later (one of them in Ted Kooser’s This American Life in Poetry\,) someone decided he was a poet. All that while he taught at four universities as academia in America crumbled.

SUMMARY:Native American Film Series: In the Wake of Justice Delayed
DESCRIPTION:Every second Monday evening of each month\, Vision Maker Media and The Ross Media Arts Center present free in-person public screenings that feature Native American films by and about Native Americans and Alaska Natives. The Native American Film Series showcases stories about cultural heritage\, art\, history\, music\, civic leadership\, youth\, and more. Q&A sessions enhance each screening. \nIn the Wake of Justice Delayed \nThe American justice system promises a timely resolution for crimes but is failing our Alaska Native families who wait years\, and even decades for resolution within our system. Consequently\, this leads to general distrust\, lower reporting and higher recidivism by perpetrators who are unpunished or rehabilitated and left to run free in the communities where their crimes were committed. This film looks deep within families fighting for justice after a loved one is murdered\, with particular attention to systemic historical roots and perpetuation of generational trauma as context and basis for understanding the current epidemic of violence. \nThe film will be followed by a Q&A with Katrina Jagodinsky and Nicole Stoops\, moderated by Indian Center\, Inc.\, Executive Director Wathina Porter. \nKatrina Jagodinsky is the Susan J. Rosowski Associate Professor of History at UNL. She is a legal historian examining marginalized peoples’ engagement with nineteenth-century legal regimes and competing jurisdictions throughout the North American West. Jagodinsky holds a Ph.D. in History (2011) and M.A. in American Indian Studies (2004) from the University of Arizona\, and she earned her B.A. (2002) from Lawrence University. She spent a postdoctoral year at Southern Methodist University’s Clements Center for Southwest Studies before joining the department and was the inaugural Jack & Nancy Farley Distinguished Visiting Scholar in History at Simon Fraser University in 2019. \nNicole “Nikki” Stoops is the Vice President of Engagement at the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN)\, a role she has held since July 2022\, where she leads efforts to strengthen stakeholder and membership involvement\, guide communications and branding strategies\, and build broad support for AFN’s mission while shaping how the organization is perceived and understood. She was honored in 2019 with both the Top 40 Under 40 Award from the Alaska Chamber of Commerce and the Native American 40 Under 40 Award from the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development. Prior to joining AFN\, Nikki served as Executive Director for the Native Village of Kotzebue and later relocated to Anchorage with her family to become Senior Director of Corporate Communications at NANA Regional Corporation. She is a shareholder of NANA Regional Corporation and Kikiktagruk Inupiat Corporation\, as well as an enrolled tribal member of the Native Village of Kotzebue. Nikki earned her Bachelor of Science in Journalism and Mass Communication from Northeastern University in Boston and now lives in Anchorage with her husband\, Jake\, and their two sons\, Casey and Cale\, and enjoys cheering them on at their baseball games.
