Abstract

When lecture notes serve their practical purpose, they are discarded or find their way into a pile to await their eventual disposal. On rare occasions, they become valuable assets in the academic and professional careers of the undergraduates who scribble them down. In reflecting on the life of Elizabeth Cook-Lynn, one set of notes has served as a reminder of the principles of the discipline she aided in molding and both a challenge and inspiration for those who have followed her footsteps into the academy. The sentiments shared in that lecture resurfaced in her memoir over a decade later. While most of the notes taken during that lecture have met their fate, one is threading her legacy into building a new Native American and Indigenous studies program.
