Nicholas Smith Awarded Honorary Degree

Those who were lucky enough to be present at Native American Studies scholar Nicholas Smith’s presentation at Fogler Library last October (see the Olive Tree, V.15, no1) will be pleased to know that Smith was awarded an honorary doctor of humane letters degree at spring commencement. He was honored for his work documenting the history of Native peoples in Maine and neighboring states and provinces.  Smith's scholarly record includes more than 60 publications, numerous translations and the development of a widely used bibliography related to Wabanaki studies.
