He is a PhD candidate at the University of Buffalo’s American Studies Department and the Center for the Americas. His dissertation focuses on Native American narrative, especially as it pertains to the Haudenosaunee Creation Story. Mr. White will be speaking on “Understanding the Creation Story of the Iroquois.”
The second lecture will be held Wednesday, March 22, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm, on the 4th floor of the Library.
