Welcome to my home page located at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska.
This coming semester (Fall 2009) I will be teaching AMS/ANT/NAS 343 Peoples and Cultures of Native North America (Course Sechedule) and ANT/NAS 340 Native American Cultures and Health - (Course Schedule).I am also the mentor for a section of RSP 101 the Freshman Ratio Studiorum program (Course Schedule). In the Spring of 2009 I taught ANT/THL 352: Witchcraft Oracles and Magic: The Anthropological Study of Religion (Course Schedule). These courses are supported by Basic Support for Cooperateive Work our virtual workspace.
In the Fall of 2009 I will also be heading up the Lakota Immersion Mentorship Program. This program is open to faculty and staff at Creighton University.
We did not make our minimum enrollent requirements for the Summer 2009 Lakota Field School on the Rosebud Reservation. Hopefully we will run the summer school in 2010. This school is open to all Creighton students and to students from other Jesuit insititions depending on Creighon enrollment.
I am currently the department chair for The Department of Sociology and Anthropology. I am also the director of the Native American Studies program. I also serve as scholar in residence and chaplain of the Kenefick Community, where I occupy a cozy cell on the sixteenth floor of the building with a great view of the Missouri River and downtown Omaha.
