Subject: NA Heritage Month - Did you Know?
Submitter: Cindy G Peterson, Director, American Indian Student Services

Message: Augsburg's American indian Student Services program was founded by Bonnie Wallace (Fond du Lac) in 1978 following work by a task force looking into higher education accessibility for American Indians primarily in the Phillips neighborhood. Bonnie served as director until 1996. Since its inception, there have only been two directors of the program.

Augsburg has offered classes in American Indian Studies since the 1980's. Contemporary American Indians and Women: A Cross-Cultural Perspective were the first courses offered. In 1990 the AIS program began adding eight courses to the curriculum including Ojibwe language. Dr. Mildred Mueller (Mike)(Sault Ste. Marie, Education Department and former Regent) and Bonnie Wallace put together the proposal creating the program. Dr. Virginia Allery (Turtle Mountain, Education Dept.) coordinated the program from 1990-1999. Dr. Eric Buffalohead (Ponca) succeeded Dr. Allery in 2000.

Augsburg has been able to offer students a major in AIS since 2004. In March 2006 faculty approved department status for AIS.


Answer to yesterday's question:
There are 7 Aninshinaabe reservations in MN: Red Lake, Bois Forte, Grand Portage, Fond du Lac, White Earth, Leech Lake, Mille Lacs. There are 4 Dakota reservations: Prairie Island, Shakopee, Upper Sioux and Lower Sioux.

Subject: ACTC Bus Schedule for Spring
Submitter: Wayne Kallestad, Registrar, Registrar's Office

We felt the level of student concern at several institutions warranted the mid-year schedule change. We hope the change will not be disruptive to too many people. If there are questions, please contact me.
