The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2.

  • Prairie Meadows
    SPRING 2013 PRAIRIE MEADOWS MAKING A DIFFERENCE DEAR FRIENDS, Prairie Meadows began operations in 1989 and, over the course of nearly 25 years, one common thread has remained consistent – that Prairie Meadows be a catalyst for jobs, economic development, agriculture and tourism. That has remained our goal ever since and has allowed us to provide our state and local community with more than $1.2 billion in taxes and community betterment funding. We are an excellent example of how a public/private partnership can benefit our local community, and we take great pride in being a non-profit organization that can help make a difference in the lives of Iowans. Prairie Meadows is the result of a complete community effort, thanks to the commitment of so many people – volunteers, business leaders, elected officials, and hundreds of others who have been instrumental in the development and continued success of one of the great public/private business experiments in the entertainment industry.

Migration/movement/forced removal Oklahoma History C3 Standard 2.3 “Integrate visual and textual evidence to explain the reasons for and trace the migrations of Native American peoples including the Five Tribes into present-day Oklahoma, the Indian Removal Act of 1830, and tribal resistance to the forced relocations.” Oklahoma History C3 Standard 2.7 “Compare and contrast multiple points of view to evaluate the impact of the Dawes Act which resulted in the loss of tribal communal lands and the redistribution of lands by various means including land runs as typified by the Unassigned Lands and the Cherokee Outlet, lotteries, and tribal allotments.” • Original Homeland – present day state of Iowa • Location In Oklahoma – Perkins, Oklahoma The Iowa or Ioway, lived for the majority of its recorded history in what is now the state of Iowa. The Iowas call themselves the Bah-Kho-Je which means grey snow, probably derived from the fact that during the winter months their dwellings looked grey, as they were covered with fire- smoked snow. The name Iowa is a French term for the tribe and has an unknown connection with 'marrow.' The Iowas began as a Woodland culture, but because of their migration to the south and west, they began to adopt elements of the Plains culture, thus culminating in the mixture of the two. The Iowa Nation was probably indigenous to the Great Lakes areas and part of the Winnebago Nation.

  • Premier College Choir to Perform Locally
    For Immediate Release For more information, contact: Rachelle Mitchell Manager, Events & Publicity [email protected] 515-263-6024 Premier College Choir to Perform Locally Des Moines, IA. The Grand View University Choir will perform at Christ Lutheran Church on Friday, March 20 at 7:00 p.m. as part of its eleven-day 2020 Spring Tour through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. They will perform their Home Concert on Sunday, April 5 at 3:00 p.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 600 6th Ave. Des Moines, Iowa. The Grand View Choir tours extensively throughout the United States as well as regularly in Europe. Wherever they sing, they have been praised for their excellence in musicality, blend, programming, and attention to detail. The cornerstone of the tour program is Randall Thompson’s magnificent choral cantata, The Peaceable Kingdom. In it, the composer draws from the book of Isaiah to run the gamut from the destruction and clearing out of all that stands in the way of peace to the breath-taking beauty of the true Peaceable Kingdom. Other exquisite choral works, by Orlando Gibbons, James Fritschel, René Clausen, Kyle Pederson, Elaine Hagenberg, Larry Fleming, Kim Andre Arneson, and others, echo and amplify this theme of peace. Dr. Kathryn Pohlmann Duffy is Chair of the Grand View University Music Department and director of the Choir. She holds degrees from Wartburg College, Waverly, Iowa; Kansas State University; and the University of Chicago, where she earned her Ph.D. in musicology. Grand View University, with a student body of approximately 2,000, is a four-year, Liberal Arts University of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
