2002 Winner: Julie Rice
"Battling the Forces of 'Deep Regret': Contemporary Efforts
at Memorializing Wounded Knee."
Abstract: "In many peopleís opinion—both
Indian and non-Indian—recognition of the significance and sacredness
of W ounded Knee, in the form of a national memorial, is long overdue,
for despite the American compulsion to create patriotic landscapes
of heroism, triumph, and martyrdom, there is no national monument
anywhere in the United States that honors the history of an indigenous
nationís defense of itself. The purpose of my research is to describe
and clarify the controversies that continue to shape the design, placement,
interpretation, and control of the proposed Wounded Knee National
Tribal Park memorial."
General Information:
The Student Paper Award is given for a meritorious student paper which
addresses geographic research, education, mapping, theory and/or applications
by, for and/or about indigenous people(s).
Criteria: The award is based on evaluation
of a written manuscript by the IPSG Chair and Board. Papers will be
evaluated based on their overall contribution to new knowledge and
understanding in the geographies of indigenous peoples. That contribution
may be theoretical, empirical or methodological in nature.
Eligibility: To be eligible for this
competition, papers must be presented at the AAG meeting, regional
geography meetings or other professional conference, and the student
must be the first or sole author of the paper. Student participants
do not have to be members of the IPSG to enter the competition. The
same individual may receive the award twice in different years for
different papers.

shall consist of the IPSG Chair(s) and the Board of Directors. In
the event that there are Co-Chairs, those Co-Chairs shall submit only
one evaluation, for a total of four possible paper evaluations from
the committee. Members of the award committee must recuse themselves
from judging the papers of current or former students, but they may
participate in discussions during which final selections are made.
Award. The Student Paper Award shall
consist of $150 and a one-year honorary student membership in the
IPSG. Whenever possible, the award recipient will also receive recognition
in the AAG Newsletter.
