A CALL FOR PAPERS
Re-figuring the Ecological Indian
American Heritage Center
Tenth Annual Symposium
September 20-22, 2001
University of Wyoming
Laramie, Wyoming

The American Heritage Center, a manuscript repository at the University of
Wyoming, in association with the UW American Indian Studies Program will
host the Center's Tenth Annual Symposium September 20-22, 2001.  The theme
of the conference will be the re-figuring of the Ecological Indian as drawn
from the title of Shepard Krech III's The Ecological Indian: Myth and
History.

The symposium's program committee requests proposals for papers and sessions
which examine both the varied interactions between Indian peoples and their
environments and the ways they have been portrayed, and indeed appropriated,
by scholars and in popular culture. Multidisciplinary sessions are
encouraged and areas of inquiry could include traditional ecological
knowledge (TEK); the archaeological record; American culture and images of
the Indian; tribal sovereignty; and, contemporary issues involving land and
resource use.  Papers touching on related ideas or themes, and student
research sessions are also appropriate. Participation by members of native
communities is particularly encouraged.  Shepard Krech will be the keynote
speaker for the symposium.

For papers and panels please submit a 250 word abstract.  Include the title
of the presentation, the full name of all presenters, institutional
affiliations, vitas, mailing addresses, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail
addresses; and any special requirements such as slide projectors or other
equipment.  Abstracts should be submitted electronically if at all possible.
If funding is identified selected papers will be published in symposium
proceedings
