With funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Jacobs and Elizabeth Lorang, dean of University Libraries, are compiling, digitizing and making accessible records and other materials from the Genoa Indian Industrial School in Nebraska, one of more than 150 boarding schools designed to assimilate Indigenous American people into Euro-American culture near the end of the 19th century. The university’s Center for Digital Research in the Humanities hosts the Genoa Indian School Digital Reconciliation Project. In order to move the project forward with sensitivity and respect, Jacobs and Lorang are working with an advisory council that includes representatives from the Ponca, Pawnee, Omaha and Winnebago nations and UNITE, the university’s Native American student group.
