BRADY DeSANTI
Brady DeSanti was born in 1978 in Grand Island, Nebraska. He is an enrolled member of the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa tribe in Hayward, Wisconsin. Brady was adopted as a child, and he was raised in a non-Indian family. He gained most of his knowledge about Native peoples and their diverse histories from books. In recent years, he has learned considerably more about his own heritage and Native history from Indian friends and relatives.
Brady graduated from the
University of
Nebraska at
Omaha in 2002. Just this past summer, he was fortunate enough to land a position teaching in Religious and Native American Studies at the
University of Nebraska-Omaha. He is currently finishing his PhD work. Brady obtained his Masters degree in history at the
University of Kansas in May 2006. He passed his doctoral oral exams on December 15, 2006.
His research examines early American anthropology and the dialogues that ensued between scholar and Indian "informants" and the impact these exchanges had on both parties.
Professor DeSanti is an avid baseball fan, and he has been a die hard Yankees supporter since the age of five. He also enjoys boxing and martial arts, Aikido specifically, where he has earned a “black belt.”
Brady DeSanti is former student of mine, and I consider him a friend. We look for great things from Professor DeSanti as he returns to his Alma Mater to with the new title of Professor DeSanti.
