SUMMARY:Into Whooperland: A Photographer's Journey With Whooping Cranes
DESCRIPTION:KANEKO and The Nature Conservancy present “Into Whooperland: A Photographer’s Journey With Whooping Cranes” a talk and book signing with Michael Forsberg. Forsberg immersed himself in the world of whooping cranes – a universe of another kind\, and yet reliant on human care. During a five year period\, he followed the last wild whooping crane population\, numbering some 540 birds\, on their narrow\, 2\,500 mile Great Plains flyway from the Texas Gulf Coast to nesting grounds in remote boreal forests of Canada’s Northwest Territories. From inside the whooper portal\, he shares the birds’ saga in his remarkable new book. \nThe program starts at 7 p.m.\, with the book signing starting at 8:30 p.m. Space is limited; you will need to register to attend. \nTicketing details TBA.

SUMMARY:John Trudell Lecture in Native American Studies
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 John Trudell Lecture in Native American Studies will be by Janelle Whipple on April 8 at the University of Nebraska at Omaha’ Community Engagement Center Rooms 230/231. \nTopic: Since time immemorial Tribal Nations and Indigenous Peoples have enjoyed a deep-rooted kinship connection with our plant relatives. Plants have been our food source\, our medicine\, and an important source of mental clarity that has helped us maintain balance. It is our collective responsibility to continue to nurture that harmony between us and the natural world\, with whom we have kinship obligations. Therefore\, a foundation of our continued wellbeing and a pillar of our human rights as Indigenous Peoples means securing access to and knowledge about our plant relatives within our Native communities for all the generations to come. \nDispossession of our homelands and assimilationist policies endangered these precious relationships in the past. If we are further prevented from keeping that knowledge alive our relatives—both plant and human—will suffer. Hence\, we need to hold space for learning or re-learning our plant medicines; by knowing how to look for them\, how to harvest and process them appropriately\, and how and when to administer them responsibly. This knowledge should and will be preserved within our kin groups and communities\, yet we should guard against those who might misappropriate our traditional knowledge for their own gain. Outside our communities\, we seek allies to ensure our rights will be recognized to continue to harvest our special plants and use them openly. \nAbout the lecturer: Janelle Whipple (Santee/Ponca) is a dedicated professional and scholar with a rich background in Native American education\, leadership\, and community service. She is completing her doctoral studies in Leadership Studies at Gonzaga University. Janelle also holds an MA in Tribal Administration and Governance from the University of Minnesota Duluth. In addition to her expertise in Tribal Nation building and federal Indian Law and policy\, Janelle possesses a deep interest in traditional ecological knowledge and plant medicines.

SUMMARY:The Lord Of The Gold Rings
DESCRIPTION:Jack L. Davis and Sharon R. Stocker\, of the University of Cincinnati\, will speak about their excavations of the Tomb of the Griffin Warrior from Pylos in the presentation “The Lord of the Gold Rings: The Griffin Warrior of Pylos.” Presentation starts at 6 p.m. in Witherspoon Hall; cash bar opens at 5 in the Fountain Court. \n\n\n\nA partnership program with the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) Lincoln/Omaha Society. This is a free program\, with no pre-registration required. \n\n\n\nJack L. Davis and Sharon R. Stocker\, of the University of Cincinnati\, will speak about their excavations of the Tomb of the Griffin Warrior from Pylos (www.griffinwarrior.org) as part of the AIA’s National Lecture Program. Since 2015\, excavations at the Palace of Nestor in southwestern Greece have uncovered significant components of the ancient cemeteries associated with the Mycenaean town. Most fascinating among these is the grave of the Griffin Warrior\, in which a single man was buried at about 1450 BCE in a small\, unprepossessing\, stone-lined shaft\, but accompanied by several thousand artifacts of gold\, silver\, bronze\, ivory\, and semi-precious gems. The grave of the Griffin Warrior from Pylos\, together with two previously unknown\, monumental Mycenaean beehive tombs found nearby in 2018\, promises to redefine scholarly views on the emergence of the Mycenaean Civilization and the formation of the earliest states in Europe.   \n\n\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America\, the Department of Fine and Performing Arts at Creighton University\, Creighton University Committee on Lectures\, Films\, and Concerts\, the Department of Art History and the Ancient Mediterranean Studies Program at University of Nebraska at Omaha\, and by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture Series.
