Citizen of the wazhazhe (Osage) Nation.
Currently I am the Clifford Baldridge Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions. And I have taught a poco doctoral seminar for over a dozen years now in our Iliff / University of Denver Joint Ph. D. Program. Our seminar is always co-taught by two faculty persons who are socially differently located. My current partner is Dr. Luis Leon from the religion department at the University of Denver.
