Joe
N. Lamb
Robert M. Utley Fellow,
2008-2010
Joe grew up in a small
farming community in central Nebraska and is an avid Cornhusker
fan---state law. He is a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln,
where he majored in Great Plains Studies. This required surviving
classes taught by Paul A. Olson, knower of all knowledge and founder
of the Center for Great Plains Studies; Frances W. Kaye, American
and Canadian, and professor of American and Canadian Studies-even
though Nebraska has no such programs-and likewise, knower of all
knowledge; Historian Margaret D. Jacobs, Director of Women’s
and Gender Studies, and the person responsible for getting Joe into
this mess; James L. Stubbendieck, Director of the Center for Great
Plains Studies and professor of grassland ecology and the person
responsible for saving blowout penstemon (Penstemon haydenii), one
of four Nebraska plants listed as an Endangered Species; and last
but not least the Omaha language program, guided by its fearless
leader, Professor Mark Awakuni-Swetland and his trusty sidekick,
Rory Larson (thanks to Mark and Rory, Joe no longer fears death).
An especial acknowledgement goes to Joe’s two native speakers,
Emmaline Walker Sanchez, and the late Alberta Grant Canby---a no
nonsense Omaha woman with a heart of gold and fry bread maker extraordinaire.
