On Wednesday, June 25, from 1 to 3 p.m., visit the Oklahoma History Center for a panel discussion about Choctaw and Oklahoma historian Muriel Hazel Wright (1889–1975). Wright was the longtime editor of The Chronicles of Oklahoma and the author of numerous works, including A Guide to the Indian Tribes of Oklahoma (1951).

The panel discussion moderated by Patricia Loughlin (University of Central Oklahoma) and featuring Anna Davis (Oklahoma Historical Society), Grace Ellis (Yale University), and Brianna Theobald (University of Rochester) will reaffirm Wright’s significance by framing her work in broader historic context, including the Native club women’s movement and national discourses concerning American history textbooks.

This is a free event, but registration is required.

Register for the panel discussion.

This event is in conjunction with the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association (NAISA) annual conference, which will be held in Oklahoma City from June 25 to 28. For more information, contact [email protected] or call 405-522-8659.

Registrants receive free admission to the Oklahoma History Center and will have the opportunity to visit the museum galleries and Research Center from 3 to 5 p.m.
