Be sure to check out the "Book Sales" page linked to the right. It features information on our upcoming book sale. Let's make this one as much of a success as the last one. Also be sure to check out the "Links" page that is now updated with a wider variety of links to help aspiring anthropologists on their educational or professional path. Also I've added an upcoming regional events page for events pertinent to Anthropology not sponsered by the UNI Anthropological Association.
