Additional Information on Eligibility

This is a "Notice of Intent" of a single source task agreement award to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska under the Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The cooperator for this project will provide the site and facilities in which the symposium will be held. The University of Nebraska is a premiere land grant college, and home to the nationally recognized Center for Great Plains Studies. The University's Center for Great Plains Studies is the oldest of its kind in the United States, which combined with the fact that the University was founded as a land grant college provides a one of a kind setting for this project. Its proximity to the Homestead National Monument of America would significantly reduce park costs for travel and coordination efforts.

Grant Description

The symposium will provide an academic platform for individuals to present new research and perspectives that will advance our collective understanding of the impacts these specific pieces of legislation had on our country, American Indian cultures and the world. This symposium will be open to the public.
