- Editor’s Commentary
This issue marks a change in Wicazo Sa Review's editorial staff. Professor Susan Miller has decided to retire from academic life and return to Seminole country in Oklahoma. Professor D. Anthony Tyeeme Clark has agreed to assume her responsibilities as the editor associate. I am deeply thankful to Susan and her many contributions to the journal. May she continue to contribute to American Indian studies through her scholarship.
Although relatively young in his professional life, Professor Clark has recorded an impressive list of accomplishments. A citizen of the Sac and Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa and a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, he is an assistant professor of American Indian studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and coeditor of the Indigenous Futures series at the University of Nebraska Press. He is a member of the Minority Scholars' Committee of the American Studies Association and the Executive Committee of the American Indian Studies Consortium, Big 10 Committee on Institutional Cooperation. For 2006–7, he is president of the Mid-America American Studies Association. Clark is the 2006–7 recipient of the Newberry Library's Susan Kelly Power and Helen Hornbeck Tanner Fellowship, and he has received funding for his research from the Ford Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Clark has articles, commentaries, and chapters published or forthcoming in American Indian Culture and Research Journal, American Indian Quarterly, America Studies, American [End Page 5] Quarterly, Annals of Iowa, Radical Teacher, Wicazo Sa Review, and several edited collections, including Indigenizing the Academy: Transforming Scholarship and Empowering Communities and In the Game: Race, Identity, and Sports in the Twentieth Century. His current book projects include Roots of Red Power: American Indian Protest and Resistance, From Wounded Knee to Chicago and, with Cornel Pewewardy, Indian Like Me? Looking Forward to the History of "Indian" Mascots.
Good luck Susan and welcome aboard Tony.
