Abstract: A summer institute for faculty called “The Native American West: A Case Study of the Columbia Plateau,” will happen in part because of funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The NEH awarded $138,662 to Christopher Leise, associate professor of English at Whitman College, to apply to the effort. He and co-director Laurie Arnold, a professor of Native American studies at Gonzaga University, will hold the institute at Whitman during the last two weeks of June, according to a report from Whitman.
