In her work for the IUMAA (IU Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology), doctoral student Maggie Slaughter has been assisting an archival publication project about Dakota-speaking code-talkers in WWI. In October, she met with Sioux researcher Tim Hunts in Winter to share data on Sioux soldiers from Standing Rock, North Dakota. In addition to recording his oral narrative about Sioux memory of war-time involvement, she has been gathering records for his book. One of the IUMAA’s most significant collections is the Wanamaker Collection, which represents pictorial and documentary information about Native American interactions with Europeans and white settlers in the first quarter of the 1900s.
