Just a reminder to those who are interested in participating in One Book One Lincoln programming — the final public event of the 2010 One Book season is tonight:
Native American Law After Standing Bear
Tuesday, November 30, 2010, 7:00 p.m.
Gere Branch Library
2400 S. 56th St.
John Snowden
, Professor Emeritus at the UNL Law College, will discuss the history of Native American law from the period after Standing Bear’s trial to today. A Lincoln City Libraries staff representative will provide some background on the Standing Bear story and the One Book experience. Professor Snowden’s presentation will last approximately 20-25 minutes, followed by questions from the audience.
Professor Snowden is an authority on Native American law from the mid-19th century to the present and has taught courses on the subject. Note that the program will not be an examination of the Standing Bear trial, but more of a look at how Native law since that time has impacted first peoples.
