Part of the Institute of American Indian Studies mission directs that we organize "campus programs to promote education and awareness of American Indian culture, issues, and problems." Because of this charge, and after consultation with the Cash family, the annual lecture series was inaugurated in the Fall of 1995. Featuring scholars in the fields of Indian studies, frontier, western, and mining history, the University community is annually enlightened on current scholarship in the respective fields. The four major areas of study reflect the interests of the late Dean Cash.
We will soon offer photographs of past gatherings and the lecture content in full. In the meantime you are invited to visit the brief biographies used in press and program releases:

The Memorial Lecture series was developed through private donations from Dr. Cash's family and friends and continues to grow as other contributions are received. If you are interested in joining the donor's list please contact us at the Institute of American Indian Studies.
