The John G. Neihardt Foundation is pleased to announce that this year’s recipient of the Wordsender Award is Wayne State College. The Wordsender Award honors a person or organization who spreads the word about Neihardt’s works or about themes he wrote about – the frontier, Native Americans, and mountain men. 

“Wordsender” is how Black Elk described Neihardt, an author who would send his story, accurately, to the wider public.

The award will be presented on Nov. 8, at the annual “Laureate’s Feast,” this year held at the German-American Society in Omaha. Featuring the award presentation, dinner, and silent and live auctions, this is the Neihardt Foundation’s only fundraiser of the year.
