ANNUAL MEETING 2007 (7th-10th November)

Tribes and Nations: Persistence and Adaptation of Indigenous Identities

The Department of Anthropology at the University of Tulsa in partnership with the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma is pleased to host the 2007 Meeting of the American Society for Ethnohistory. The date November 16, 1907, marks the centennial of the admission of the state of Oklahoma to the Union. The thirty-eight federally recognized American Indian tribes in Oklahoma today are sovereign, self-governing nations whose pr esence in the state is evidence of the ability of tribal/cultural identity to transcend removal from homelands and the vagaries of federal assimilation policy.

Student Travel Grants

The Society will provide a limited number of small grants to help defray travel expenses for graduate students to present papers at the annual meeting and present papers; these may vary in amount but will generally not exceed $500. 

The award is only open to those students who have already had their papers accepted by the program committee. Applicants should be Society members, but do not have to be admitted to Ph.D. candidacy. 

The selection committee will consider the quality of the research and the ethnohistorical focus of the topic, based on a letter of support accompanying this application.  Preference will be given to those applicants who have not previously been awarded an ASE Student Travel Grant.

You can now download the student travel grant application forms in Microsoft Word or PDF format.
