(Menominee & Stockbridge-Munsee)
A drummer
with the renowned country group Wolf River Band for 30 years,
Richie Plass is also an actor (and sometimes comedian!) with a
long background in business and manufacturing as well as tribal
politics and economic development. But his lectures and sessions
on "Trails of the Menominee: A Discussion of Native American Diversity"
are where his heart really lies.
Plass lectures
on education, culture, traditions, professional environment and
social impact. His sessions deal with issues such as Menominee
and general Native American history, past and present Native American
issues such as logos and mascots, Native American lore and performing
arts, as well as dealing with and living in a world of different
cultures.
His multi-faceted
background includes an Associate Degree in Architecture, Director
of Tribal Economic Development on the Menominee Reservation, diversity
training, and sports editor for his school paper. Plass is also
a published poet.
