I look forward to the opportunity to discuss ongoing research on Alaska Native issues, and for the opportunity to learn more thoroughly how the situation in Southeast Alaska (where I did the majority of my fieldwork) compares with the circumpolar region as a whole.

Dr. Dombrowski has presented more than two dozen papers at national meetings and been a guest speaker at university colloquia at Columbia University, The City University of New York, the University of Toronto, the University of Notre Dame, McGill University in Montreal, as well as a "Discussion" paper of the keynote address at the American Ethnological Society Meetings in 1999.

He is interested in speaking to academic audiences, graduate seminars and making presentations to the general public. His lecture titles include:

• The Praxis of Indigenism
• Billy Budd, Choker Setter: Native Cutllure and Indian Work in the Southeast Alaska Timber Industry
• Lifestyle and Livelihood: The Politics of Subsistence, Native Identity and Internal Differentiation in Southeast Alaska

Dr. Dombrowski's research interests are in the areas of Alaska Native culture and history, cultural anthropology and indigenism. He completed a B.A. in anthropology, with honors, from the University of Notre Dame, an M.A. in anthropology from Columbia University and a PhD from City University of New York (CUNY) and University Center. Since 1999 he has been Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY.

Dr. Dumbrowski was a Visiting Arctic Speaker in Fairbanks, Alaska, in November 2003, where he made presentations to:

• Northern Peoples and Contemporary Issues class, University of Alaska Fairbanks Anthropology Department Colloquium, University of Alaska Fairbanks
• Individual graduate students studying Alaska Native issues, University of Alaska Fairbanks
