Honor Indians Institute would like to honor Marshall Bass. Marshall is a proud enrolled member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. He is the youngest child of Vincent and Karen Bass. He is 23 years of age and currently a junior at Haskell Indian Nations University located in Lawrence, Kansas. He is studying Business Administration. He plans to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in the fall of 2009. Upon graduation, he plans to attend graduate school and eventually incorporate his business skills with Geographic Information Systems (G.I.S.)
He currently works in Haskell’s G.I.S. Laboratory where he is heading a project that is modeling wind power potential for almost all reservations across the United States. He actually created cartography using ESRI’s ArcView software to determine site suitability for the erection of wind turbines. He was given the opportunity to be employed with the G.I.S. program over the summer and after school hours by his G.I.S. instructor, Dave Mcdermott. They were able to create a foundation for Marshall to work from and based on that, he ran with it and now he has a huge information database that can be used for tribes that are interested in renewable energy. He enjoys attending Haskell Indian Nations University and his involvement with G.I.S., knowing that Tribes will benefit from his work.
