You'd better hurry to make it to the October 15 Symposium "The Spirit
of Place: Appreciating the Comanche Relationship to the Landscape of
the Southern Plains," at the University of Texas at Arlington's Central
Library Parlor/Atrium. Although the name "Great Plains" suggests a
vast, featureless landscape, the region is dotted with hills and other topo-
graphic features that serve as landmarks to travelers and residents alike.
In the Great Plains of Texas, several prominent landmarks-such as
Comanche Peak, the Medicine Rock, and Paint Rock-are places of spe-
cial importance to the Comanche Indians. The symposium is designed
to encourage a better understanding and appreciation of this area's
geography and cultural history. Participants will include Comanche
Indian elders, historians, and anthropologists, who will share their
observations about geographic features that have long been part of
Comanche Indian and Texas history. Registration is limited. Call 817/
272-3997, or e-mail center@library.uta.edu for more information.
