St. Olaf to host presentation by Smithsonian director

David Gonnerman '90
October 5, 2006

Rayna Green, director of the American Indian Program at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History, will present a lecture at St. Olaf College Thursday, Oct. 5, at 7:30 p.m. in Holland Hall 501. The title of Green's lecture, part of the David L. and Marjory Ostrum Scheie lecture series, is "Pocahontas, Miss America and Eskimo Barbie in Love: A TragiComedy in at Least Four Acts, with Indians, Patriots and Notorious Impersonators Live and On Stage."

"I like outrageous, provocative titles," says Green. "And making up the title also keeps me interested. I have to keep myself as entertained as I hope to keep the audience."
