Vanitas in Deserto
Dartmouth's social scene is one of a kind: pong, flair and blitz are unheard of outside our bubble, and the exclusivity of our social traditions often borders on vanity.

Kendra Field, the College's 2008-2009 Charles Eastman Fellow in Native American studies, presented her dissertation, "Intruder of Color: Race, Nation and Thomas Jefferson Brown's Life in Indian Territory," to about 25 attendees in Carson Hall Wednesday evening. Fields, a doctoral candidate at New York University, discussed the life of Thomas Jefferson Brown, a "mixed-race" man who migrated from Arkansas to the Indian Territory in 1870. Brown, who was born to an Irish woman and a black man, was married twice -- both times to members of Native American nations with African heritage. The talk explored several of the issues surrounding Native Americans in Brown's time, including the relationship between settlers and Native Americans in the territory and land allocation as a result of the Dawes Act. The presentation was part of the annual First Nations Week, presented by Native Americans at Dartmouth.
