59th ANNUAL MEETING
WATER WAYS: The Ethnohistories of People and Water
Hotel Monteleone

September 11-14, 2013
WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to New Orleans! The fifty-ninth annual meeting of the American Society for
Ethnohistory features an exciting program of panels and roundtables, many of them organized
around this year’s theme, “Water Ways: The Ethnohistory of People and Water.” With New
Orleans as the historic market and diplomatic meeting place for the many tribal nations of the
Gulf region and Louisiana as the homelands of the Chitimacha, Choctaw, Coushatta, Houma,
and Tunica-Biloxi, nations, this is an ideal setting for our meeting. The rich history of this area
resonates across the program and region.
I want to extend a warm thank you to the organizers of this year’s meeting, Robbie Ethridge,
Local Arrangements Chair, and Kris Lane, Program Chair. We are fortunate indeed to have such
generous and talented colleagues who have assembled such a stimulating program. Best
wishes for a fabulous meeting for everyone!
