To Bridge a Gap 2013

The 2013 To Bridge a Gap conference will be at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Norman, from March 11-14.  This annual event, hosted this year by the Delaware, is held in collaboration with the National Forest Service.   It is designed to strengthen government-to-government relationships between the Forest Service and federally recognized tribal governments with interests in area forests.

The conference is also a great opportunity for archaeologists from all walks of life to meet with tribal members and learn about all parties' concerns and common interests.

Highlights of the 2013 conference will include a reception on Monday night by the Delaware Nation and the Delaware Tribe of Indians, and a banquet on Wednesday night with the Keynote Speaker Walter Echo Hawk (Pawnee), Native American speaker, author, and attorney.

The registration fee is $90 for the whole conference, or $40 per day.
