What, Me Worry?, Malcolm Smith

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Everyone knows that Maine is Vacationland and the way life should be (full of lobsters and loons), but we also have plenty of another commodity- hate. If you are not a member of a group traditionally persecuted, then you have nothing to worry about, right? Hate in Maine takes on many faces and is felt by many group and many people. Charlie Howard's name comes to mind. This summer, concerned Maine people gathered to honor his memory and not let his death be in vain. Howard was thrown to his death off a bridge by three teenagers in the city …

Review Of The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, 1877-1900 By Orlan J. Svingen, Michael L. Tate

History Faculty Publications

In the larger context of Plains Indian history, the Northern Cheyenne seem to drop from public consciousness following their military defeat in the campaigns of 1876-77 and their subsequent removal to an arid reservation in western Indian Territory. Mari Sandoz somewhat rescued these people from obscurity in her partially fictionalized Cheyenne Autumn (1953), which dramatized their mistreatment on the reservation, their heroic efforts to return to traditional homelands in Montana, and the bloody 1879 breakout from Ft.
