2014 Conference Wrap Up and New Officers


The 2014 PNASA Conference on the theme "Native/American: Placing the Indigenous in American Studies" hosted at Central Washington University in Ellensburg was a great success. Jeannette Armstrong provided the keynote address on "Placing Indigenous Studies: The Okanagan Nation and the University of British Columbia Okanagan." Over 120 conference attendees, including PNASA members, CWU faculty and students, and local elementary school students, participated in the conference sessions, native arts & crafts exhibitions, indigenous medicine demonstrations, and a film screening.

The newly elected PNASA officers are Peter Donahue (President), David Noon (Vice President), C.J. Dosch (Treasurer), and Chris Schedler (Regional Representative to ASA). We look forward to seeing you at the 2015 Conference.
