Humanities Nebraska

This Sunday! Marci Broyhill highlights the efforts and struggles of people in agriculture as they solve problems, strive for success, and bring refinement to their domestic routines. Using a mix of historical research and her person experiences growing up in rural Nebraska, this program educates and entertain all ages and genders. This culminates with the audience reflecting on their personal dreams and goals.

“Weaving a Nation” closes this evening with a presentation by Big Elk ( ), the last hereditary chief of the Omaha. Born around the time the United States declared independence, his perspective is another interesting thread in the tapestry of our nation.
