Time: 7:00 pm–9:00 pm
Location: Center for Great Plains Studies
Address: 1155 Q St.
in Nebraska is told in the short film “Return of the Pawnees.” In 2007, Roger and Linda Welsch did what few descendants of European immigrants have ever done in the 500-year history of America. They returned their land on the Loup River near Dannebrog to its original owners, the Pawnees. It had belonged to the Pawnee people before the U.S. government forcibly removed and relocated them to Oklahoma in 1875.
Roger Welsch, Nebraska’s most famous storyteller, passed away on September 30, 2022, at the age of 85. He leaves behind relatives in the Omaha, Pawnee and Oglala Sioux tribes.
The film is co-produced by Margaret Jacobs, director of the Center for Great Plains Studies, and Kevin Abourezk, a Lincoln journalist and activist and member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. Charles “Boots” Kennedye, an Oklahoma based filmmaker and member of the Kiowa Tribe, is the film’s director.
Speakers: Dr. Margaret Jacobs, director, Center for Great Plains Studies; Kevin Abourezk, journalist, activist and member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe.
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
Registration is required. Register online or call the OLLI office at 402-472-6265.

Kalenda Eaton and Heidi Dodson: Oklahoma’s Black Homesteaders
Date: Oct. 27, 2022
Time: 5:30 pm–7:00 pm
Location: Zoom
This event is intended for a general audience and no prior knowledge is necessary. Attendees will learn about the complex history of Black homesteading in Oklahoma and delve into the specifics of selected homesteaders.
Zoom: https://unl.zoom.us/j/99295278214
Dr. Kalenda Eaton is the Director of Oklahoma Research for the Black Homesteaders Project and an Associate Professor of African & African American Studies at the University of Oklahoma. She is a Humanities scholar focused on African American western studies, intersections of Black literary and gender studies; African American social and cultural history; and Black Diaspora studies.
Dr. Heidi Dodson is a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Black Homesteaders Project. She is a historian specializing in late nineteenth and twentieth-century African American community building, migration, social movements, and oral history.
The Oklahoma Black Homesteading Project (OBHP) seeks to recover, reevaluate, and reclaim histories of rural African Americans in Oklahoma Territory pre-statehood (1907) and beyond. Between 1889-1907, thousands of African Americans emigrated into the Oklahoma district of Indian Territory in search of the freedom to exist outside Jim Crow policies and “Black Codes” that limited civil liberties and rights in other parts of the United States. Many of the individuals and families who relocated formed tight-knit, all-Black communities in areas inside and outside of newly established townships in northwestern, central, and southern counties. These homesteading communities with names like “Sweet Home,” “Elbow,” and “Lincoln City” served as glimpses into the possibilities of equality and autonomy. While there are many examples of successful relocation, hundreds of new Black residents were also prevented from remaining on their claims due to very little capital or political power and persistent anti-Black racism in what soon became an increasingly hostile and unwelcoming racialized environment. The OBHP hopes to foster complex and rich conversations about how the history of Oklahoma is connected to the promises and ideals of Black freedom locally and nationwide. The OBHP will serve as a digital archive of census data, maps, visual guides, oral histories, narratives, and scholarship chronicling this period in American history.

What is the No Limits Conference? Who Can Participate?

The conference began in 1993 with a group of dedicated students who wanted to create an unquestionably interdisciplinary conference able to accommodate both traditional and non-traditional topics and presentations. Since that time the conference has remained student-oriented, open to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as recent graduates.
We invite proposals from undergraduates, graduate students, and recent graduates on any topic from any discipline related to women's issues, lives, histories, or culture, or women's and gender studies. Creative writing, visual arts, film, music, performances, workshops, and academic papers are all welcome. Proposals for individual presentations or poster presentations are accepted.
No Limits is a student research conference. So please announce to students and share widely with others. There is no registration cost, and the event is free and open to the public.
