This is what it's like when worlds collide

Two Kansas State University anthropologists are the authors of the first-ever cultural history of the Wabanaki, indigenous peoples traditionally inhabiting what is now protected as part of Acadia National Park on the coast of Maine. The work is now available on the Web site of one of the nation's major national parks, Acadia National Park in Maine.

"Asticou's Island Domain: Wabanaki Peoples at Mount Desert Island 1500-2000" represents a three-year project that was researched and written by K-State's Harald Prins, a university distinguished professor of anthropology, and Bunny McBride, an adjunct anthropology lecturer. The work was commissioned by the Ethnography Program of the National Park Service in cooperation with Acadia National Park, the Abbe Museum for Stone Age Antiquities and Maine's four Wabanaki Indian nations.

Prins is one of K-State's most significant personalities and academic forces. I have not met Bunny McBride, but damned if that's not one of the best names in modern academia.

Also, Acadia is...glorious, just fantastic. Trust me.

...why do WE have to get Bunny?

Although yes, Acadia is gorgeous.

Mmmm.... Prins.... One of my favorite classes and I don't remember a damned thing about it.

I have a strong position that every child should have "Supreme Court Justice" added to the front of their names before making it official. I think this would go a long way towards cutting back on the Destinys, Duwaynes, and Bambies currently running around. Not mention Bunny.

That poor woman, at least she rose above it.

Say hi to Prins if you see him.
