The Institute for the American Constitutional Heritage (IACH), an interdisciplinary center for the study of American constitutionalism at the University of Oklahoma, in conjunction with the Department of History proposes to host a two-week Summer Institute for College and University Teachers in June 2016. We offered a successful NEH Institute on this topic in the summer of 2014 and plan to follow the same basic program in 2016 with some minor adjustments. This Institute will explore the social, cultural, and political dimensions of American westward expansion through the lens of the U.S. Constitution and the struggles over its interpretation between the American Revolution and the conclusion of the Mexican-American War in 1848. In this Summer Institute, we hope to bring current and future college faculty together to study the history of the American West, race, Indian removal, and the early history of the federal Constitution and the republic it created. |

Expansion and the Constitution in the Early Republic is a proposed two-week Summer Institute for College and University Teachers, to be held at the University of Oklahoma in June 2014. We anticipate applications from teachers at four-year and community colleges as well as graduate students. The proposed Institute will bring current and future college faculty into conversation with some of the leading academic researchers of the early republic on the history of the American West, race, and Indian removal. The participants will explore the social, cultural, and political dimensions of American westward expansion through the lens of the U.S. Constitution and the struggles over its interpretation between the American Revolution and the conclusion of the Mexican-American War in 1848. |

This seminar will explore American Indian Ethnohistory, a study of the relationship between Indians and Europeans, using as a foundation in understanding of the evolving nature of tribalism. Initial discussion will focus on cultural anthropology and its early role in developing the discipline, and then turn quickly to the growing contributions made by historians in the field. Some of the earliest ethnohistory looked broadly at the impact of European invasion on Indian tribes, showing in particular the demographic collapse that came with that invasion. This led to what is often called "victim" history. But by the 1980s, many ethnohistorians were probing deeply into the way Indians adapted to the European advance, especially how they changed their political, social, economic, and religious institutions to meet the needs of a changing world. It is this new history, of Indians as actors, which we will explore in the seminar in considerable detail. |

reconciliation efforts by Boise city officials and Native American groups in
order to better understand the meaning and role of sovereignty in such contexts.
Over the past few years, cultural planners from the City of Boise, Idaho and local Native American tribes have developed an innovative working relationship. Built on the principle of interdependent sovereignty, these partners have a plan to remake Boise’s cultural infrastructure. They are commissioning public artwork by Native artists and creating signs to reintroduce traditional place names into Boise’s urban spaces. This collaboration holds the potential for both innovative successes and unexpected challenges. However, the unique attitude toward interdependence guiding this collaboration may allow it to serve as a model for other tribal/settler state partners working toward reconciliation. At the invitation of both parties, I will document this collaboration, contributing a new perspective to our understanding of cultural sovereignty by demonstrating the interdependent way in which sovereignty can be enacted through collaborative cultural partnerships. |

This project will consult with Native communities to ascertain the desirability and logistics of a large-scale digitization and preservation program for Native American music recordings in Oklahoma. The immediate goal of the project is to develop a series of protocols for best practices in ethically facilitating the preservation and digitization of music recordings primarily held by Native communities and their members. We also propose to expand and enhance policies regarding audio and audiovisual recordings in the museum's Native American Languages Collection. The duration of the project is two years. The first year we will focus on community outreach and engagement as well as our campus-based and external advisors. The second year we will expand and follow up on our community meetings, develop protocols, and solicit feedback from our advisors as well as from community leaders and members. The final product will be a set of recommendations for program implementation. |

The Native American Languages
collection at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History at the
University of Oklahoma is seeking funding for a collaborative project to plan
the development of an online platform for the collection. The website will
provide unprecedented access to the collection by allowing users to view and
download materials directly, rather than the current system which requires
people to visit the collection in person. This type of access fulfills our
mission to make those materials that are meant to be shared as available as
possible to Native peoples, researchers, and the greater public. We propose to
hold a series of workshops designed to get input from NAL stakeholders (Native
communities, linguists, educators), archiving professionals, and developers to
create a user-oriented interface that will best serve the needs of our
community of users. Information gathered from the workshops will be used to
produce detailed mock-ups of the site. |

The Native American Languages collection at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History at the University of Oklahoma seeks to fund a three-year project to provide online access to our collections for the first time. This project builds on the work of a previous NEH Foundations grant (PW- 269366-20) that funded workshops with community and academic partners to create the framework for a user-oriented website that will best serve the needs of our visitors and contributors. These activities will ultimately allow community members, researchers, and the public to make use of the collections Native American language materials in ways not previously possible. There are four components to achieving our goal of making the collections available online: 1) website development, 2) continuing archival software development, 3) digitization, and 4) collections metadata enhancement. |

Based at the University of Oklahoma, the Indigenous Media Portal will be an interactive website that provides access to Indigenous media in collaboration with Tribal heritage communities. We will incorporate historic photographs, radio, and other audio media starting with the OU Western History Collections, which contain invaluable oral histories and traditional singing from nearly forty Tribes across the state. We will also incorporate new videos that contextualize the archival collections through the voices of Indigenous knowledge holders. Working together with Tribal communities, we will choose materials appropriate for sharing in a publicly accessible platform and present them in ways that support community interests and broader public understanding. The Indigenous Media Portal will bring Oklahoma Indigenous histories and languages into a digital public sphere which prioritizes the self-representation of Tribal communities through their own voices, music, and audiovisual media. |

The University of Oklahoma Press is one of the pre-eminent publishers of the story of the American West and Native North America, but the COVID-19 pandemic has put this core humanities mission in jeopardy with reduced productivity from all stages of book production threatening the viability of critical press staffing lines. And yet, the OU Press and its engaged partners at the University of Oklahoma (the New Stories of the West, for the West Team) also see the opportunities presented by the pandemic to both support the press and to expand the authorship and dissemination of the story of the West. Through the establishment of an Imprint housed by the Native-directed OU Native Nations Center, and by supporting some of OUs most impactful public-facing humanities entities, our team boldly envisions a more inclusive future for the humanities ecosystem at the University of Oklahoma: telling stories of the West in ways that all the people of the West can access and appreciate. |
