To my Mother, JoAnn Batte Jordan, and the memory of my Father, Paul Nelson Jordan ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe a tremendous debt to the people of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, whose generous assistance made this project possible. Since my first trip to southwestern Oklahoma as an undergraduate in 1998, countless Kiowa people have taken the time to share their knowledge with me. I am especially thankful for the many community members who assisted me with my dissertation research. Space prevents me from acknowledging each of them by name, but I would particularly like to thank the members of the Chief Satanta (White Bear) Descendants, the Old Chief Lonewolf Descendants, and Satethieday Khatgomebaugh. Without their help this project would not have been possible. Dr. Daniel C. Swan invested tremendous time and energy in my scholarly development. I am thankful for all that he has taught me, including what it means to be a mentor. Dr. Morris Foster has always been a source of sound advice.

    STUDY GUIDE 41St Anniversary

    41st anniversary STUDY GUIDE Welcome to the 41st anniversary tour of the Big Apple Circus! The thrill and excitement of the circus dates back hundreds of years. Today, at the Big Apple Circus 41st anniversary tour, audiences can behold a quadruple somersault on the flying trapeze, horses and dogs, horizontal juggling, a trampoline wall, and impossible feats of balance all led by our ringmaster, Stephanie Monseu. How do seemingly ordinary people perform such extraordinary feats? The amazement of the circus provides a perfect platform for the study of STEM, literature, history, social studies, and physical education adaptable to all grades and ages. This study guide takes students on a delightful educational journey through the Big Apple Circus. Each entry will highlight applicable core curriculum standards along with suggested activities, conversation starters, and a bibliography. Please use this guide as a starting point for your own creative adventure into the world of circus education. The more you know… the more amazing the circus becomes. The ringmaster is your guide to the circus as she introduces each of the acts. Stephanie is a New York City native. In 1994, she began performing with Keith Nelson as a fire eater. They co- founded New York’s Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, beginning a lifelong partnership and a commitment to circus and variety arts. In addition to performing production and management duties for Bindlestiff, Stephanie has also worked with youth and adults in Bindlestiff’s Social Circus programs. Being a part of the community of international circus artists is the greatest reward of Stephanie’s career.
