Let's Talk About it, Â鶹´«Ã½'s 2018 series War, Not War, and Peace, continues on February 6th with Empire of the Summer Moon.
Russ Tallchief (Osage), of Â鶹´«Ã½ City University, presents S. C. Gwynne's Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History. This work of nonfiction takes us back to the region’s earliest wars. In the story of Quanah Parker’s leadership during Indian resistance to white settlement, we become aware of how many vectors influence the development and subsequent playing out of war. From geography to politics to greed to treachery to cultural distance and difference, all are seen clearly in this book, and we are reminded of how fundamental war has been to our nation’s very identity.This presentation is a part of the Â鶹´«Ã½ Humanities Let's Talk About It Â鶹´«Ã½ "War, Not War, and Peace: A Pulitzer Prize Centennial Â鶹´«Ã½." All are welcome to attend.
All sessions take place in Walker Center Room 151 at 7:00 PM.
