In recognition of Arrell M. Gibson's significant role in Native American history, the Indian Territory Posse of Westerners International funds this $500 cash prize, awarded biennially, for the best essay of the year on the history of Native Americans. No time period or geographic restrictions apply, and essays will be judged on their significance to the field, their contributions to knowledge, and their literary quality.  Any WHA member, as well as the publisher or author of the essay, may nominate an essay. A copy of the journal, an offprint, or a photocopy must be submitted to each member of the award committee (see below).

To be eligible for award in 2009, articles must have appeared in 2007 or 2008 in a journal or edited volume.

Application Deadline: July 31, 2009
