|| Back to Top || Biographical SketchLarry Nesper has been involved with Indian people since the mid-1970s when he studied Lakota with Calvin Fastwolf in Chicago , an interest that grew out of his master's thesis (1977) on Lakota Clownship done at the University of Chicago in the Master's of Arts Program in the Social Science. He and Fastwolf would go on to found Lakota Studies at the Newberry Library Center for the History of the American Indian. Nesper returned to graduate school at U of C in 1989 to do his PhD just as the conflict over the Ojibwe of Wisconsin exercising their off-reservation harvesting rights was coming to a peak. His book, The Walleye War: The struggle over spearfishing and treaty rights, (U Nebraska 2002) grew out of his dissertation work and was recently received a Wisconsin Historical Society Distinguished Service to History Award of Merit.He is currently doing research on the emergence and significance of the tribal court system in Wisconsin among the Ojibwe bands. His Curriculum vitae can be found here.
