Welcome to my home page located at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. I am a professor of anthropology and Native American Studies in the Department of Sociology. Anthropology and Social Work at the College of Arts and Sciences.

Next semester (Spring 2011) I will continue working as a full time faculty member as I look for a new placement. I will teach one seminar: ANT/NAS/THL 358 Critical Issues in the Study of Native American Religions. Enrollment is restricted to ten people. Currently I am teaching AMS/ANT/NAS 340 Native American Cultures and Health (Course Schedule).. I am preparing a course for the Masters Programs in Medical Anthropology: MMA 650 Indigenous Health Issues. The syllabus is currently being constructed.

In the Fall of 2012, a new trip organizer will head the Lakota Immersion Mentorship Program. This program is open to faculty and staff at Creighton University.

I am a member of the ADA Committee as well as the faculty advisor for Hui-O-Hawaii, a studentent organization on campus;

This is my last semester as Department Chair for the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work . I continue to direct the Native American Studies program. I reside in the Jesuit Community which is sequestered within Creighton Hall.
