At the Watkins Museum of History, a new exhibition showcases both past and present, pain and joy. The exhibition, From Then to Now: A Student History of Haskell Indian Nations University, was led by intern Geoffrey C. Pate (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma), a Haskell graduate whose father and grandmother also attended Haskell. The exhibition was made possible with support from Humanities Kansas. According to Steve Nowak, Executive Director of the Watkins Museum of History, the exhibition is intended to be the first in a series created by interns from Haskell, representing “the beginning of a relationship rather than a finished product.”, From the sound of the drums beating in the morning, to the cheers of the crowds at a basketball game at night, daily scenes of diverse activities on the Haskell campus are like threads in the fabric of campus life., Haskell Indian Nations University (Haskell or HINU) is a public tribal [2] land-grant university in Lawrence, Kansas, United States..
