This fellowship for Ph.D. candidates and postdoctoral scholars of
American Indian heritage supports up to two months of residential
research in any field in the humanities, using the collections of the
Newberry Library, and provides a stipend of $1200 per month for periods
ranging from one week to two months. The annual deadline for
applications is March 1.
This fellowship was
established in 2002 by an anonymous donor to encourage research by
American Indian scholars and honor two notable advocates for American
Indian education. Susan Kelly Power (Yanktonai Dakota) is an historian,
activist, and long-time participant in programs of the D’Arcy
McNickle Center. She is a founding member and four-time chair of
Chicago’s American Indian Center. Helen Hornbeck Tanner has
served as acting director of the D’Arcy McNickle Center, director
the Atlas of Great Lakes Indian History Project, and an expert witness
and historical consultant for several tribes. She is now a senior
research fellow at the Newberry Library.
