Matthew “Sitting Bear” Jones will be on campus to make a diversity presentation, “Otoe-Missouria: The Forgotten Nebraskans,” at noon on Thursday at the Sorrell Center’s Truhlsen Events Center.
Jones is a Kiowa/Otoe-Missouria Indian of Oklahoma and has been involved in the oral tradition of storytelling for more than two decades. He tells stories, tales and legends of the Kiowa’s vision of the world from the time of creation to the coming of the white man.
Through his presentation, Jones aquaints audiences with
the thinking and customs of the Kiowa people.
The event is sponsored by the Diversity Lecture and Cultural Arts Series, and lunch will be provided for the first 30 participants.
