We are excited to announce that the Southeastern Archaeological Conference (SEAC) has awarded the 2026 Public Outreach Grant to the Arkansas Archeological Survey for the project entitled “Dwight Mission Native American Boarding School”. Archaeologists from the Survey will synthesize archival and archeological research on the Dwight Mission and Cherokee living in Arkansas into a widely accessible publication, a lecture series, and middle and high school social science curriculum. They will also create 3D-scanned and printed artifacts representative of this time to supplement these lessons. The SEAC funding will support the development and purchase of an outdoor sign to be posted on the land near where the Dwight Mission was located (now covered with water), which highlights the Native American students who attended the Mission school and their families. Congratulations to the Arkansas Archeological Survey!
