RMU Presents Rooney Scholar, Francis Kee Burnside

Please join us Friday, January 29, 2010, for the first presentation by the Spring 2010 Rooney Scholar, Francis Kee Burnside, as he shares with our campus community the ethical system of life known as the “Blessing Way.”A reception will take place at 11:45am, and the presentation will start at 12 noon in the Rogal Family Chapel.

As the 18th Rooney Visiting Scholar, Francis will discuss the history
and philosophy of the Dine (Navajo nation) from the perspective of his
role as a traditional healer and a modern agent of the Navajo
Peacemaking Court. Burnside, a hataalii and certified Navajo Nation
Peacemaker, will share the ceremonial ways of the Dine as he brings
tradition and modernity together.

Please notice that seating will be limited for this event
and an RSVP is required — especially if you are bringing a large group to the event (e.g., an entire office or class). Please contact Terri
Byrnes at byrnes@rmu.edu to RSVP as soon as possible but no
later than 1-27-10.

Learn all about the Navajo nation from our scholar in residence.
