From Your Director

Leonard Bruguier Photograph, 1999Hello and Welcome to our website. Please feel free to browse the various sites and if you find something of interest or, horror of all horrors, something wrong, let us know. We will try to keep abreast of your requests and suggestions. If you have something you would like to share with others please forward it to us for publication. For your information, while certain elements of this website contain current information, much of it is historical in nature.

On another page I asked you to network with each other. I say this because some of the comments I have received ask for further information, i.e., genealogy, and students wishing to know all about Indians. And of course they need this information returned to them right away because they are writing a report that is due two days in the future. With your help in responding to these requests, we can help people with very real problems. I must also say we are gratified for all the good comments and suggestions you have forwarded, but again unfortunately, we do not always have time to answer all your questions. Please bear with us.

Please note that my email address has changed to bruguier@usd.edu.

When you are on campus feel free to stop by, drink some coffee, and visit us. We are in the lower level of Dakota Hall, Room 12. For current and past director's messages and the Veterans' Corner, check out the following:
