A Cherokee-Cowboy, Will Rogers was a popular Native American actor, philanthropist, social commentator, Vaudevillian, comedian, and presidential candidate. He was born William Peen Adair Rogers to a well respected and relatively wealthy family, and was often hailed as Oklahoma's favorite son. He knew how to ride horses so well that ended up in the Guinness Book of World Records. His record was for simultaneously throwing three ropes at a horse—one around the horse's rider, one around the neck, and one around all four legs. He appeared in 71 films, and wrote more than 4,000 columns for nationally-syndicated newspapers. In 1935, he died in a plane crash in Barrow, Alaska.

The Native American Studies Minor exposes students to arts, cultures, literatures, and histories other than the dominant Western ones. A minor in Native American Studies can open the doors to new and different ways of viewing the world, new explanations of creation, new approaches to the environment, new concepts of history, politics, and religion, new ways of telling stories, of maintaining families and cultures, and even of keeping time.back to top

Linda Lillegraven is traveling across Wyoming from her home in Laramie to the Buffalo Bill Art Show in Cody, where she will show her luminous pastel and oil landscapes for the fifth year in a row. For Lillegraven, eager to shun the speedy but dull interstate, the less-traveled roads to the show provide a 350-mile opportunity to look for new subject matter. Oblivious to Wyoming’s oft-painted snow-covered peaks and glacial lakes, she is scouting out a slightly more disturbing dynamic what some might call emptiness: prairie, light, horizon, and dust.
