Dr. Barbara Alice Mann, an associate professor at the Jesup Scott Honors College at the University of Toledo, will share her understanding of the Iroquois society at 6 p.m. Nov. 6 in Eberly Hall, room 110, at California University of Pennsylvania.

The free presentation, “Modern Iroquois Culture,” celebrates Native American Heritage Month.

Mann is an elder of the Ohio Bear Clan, Seneca (Iroquois), a Native American group with ancestral ties to the southern shores of Lake Erie. She works to promote the rights and history of those “indigenous to and resident in the Land of the Three Miamis” in Ohio.

Mann has written a number of scholarly books in the field of Native American studies. Her newest work, “Spirits of Place: Native North American Spirituality,” is scheduled for publication next year.

The free presentation is sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the LaDonna Harris Native American Studies Institute at Cal U. For more information, email Dr. Clarissa Confer at confer_c@calu.edu.
