The Marcum Conference Center at Miami University, Oxford OH
The 2008 Myaamiaki Conference was the third conference hosted at Miami University discussing research conducted by the Miami Tribe community. 130 people came to the Oxford campus to visit and listen to six presenters and two panels speaking on a variety of topics. You can download the conference poster here in PDF format.
The presentations were recorded, and are available here for download. Note that the video files are large, and require a broadband connection to download. The files are playable using Quicktime, and formatted so video iPods can play them as well. The Powerpoint presentations that accompany these videos should be available shortly. Pictures of the event are also viewable below. Click the thumbnail to view a full size version of the picture.
We hope everyone enjoyed this year's conference, and look forward to the next one in two years!
