Other (approximate) direct costs included the book ($12,500), Indiana Humanities-sponsored community dialogues ($5,000), student research salaries ($5,000), the historical marker ($4,400), and the educator’s workshop ($5,000). The labor of director Edward Curtis, an indirect cost, was covered as part of his research, teaching, and service at the IU School of Liberal Arts.
