"My appreciation of Idaho's history and culture has been greatly expanded by the activities of the Idaho Humanities Council. The IHC brings high quality speakers, museum exhibits, and educational conferences to Idaho, thereby enabling many of us to enjoy these events who would not otherwise have the opportunity to do so."

Rep. Donna Boe, District 30, Pocatello

"The humanities are the wellspring of Idaho's heritage as well as its unfolding dreams. Only through the continued vitality of the Idaho Humanities Council can we, with clarity and deliberation, glean a reflection of the riffles and currents of those waters, of ourselves."

Dr. Rodney Frey, Professor of American Indian Studies and Anthropology, University of Idaho, Moscow

"The humanities enrich our lives in so many intangible ways. I would hate to imagine a world based all on science and technology, for example, bereft of those qualities that create our humanness--kindness, caring, curiosity, and the ability to reason, among others."

Dr. Sandra Schackel, History Professor, Boise State University, Boise

"Through grants, the Idaho Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities make tremendous strides toward enriching the lives of Idahoans by providing positive educational and historical programming throughout the entire state. Idaho's rich culture must be preserved, and through the assistance and continued leadership of the IHC, many individuals will benefit."

U.S. U.S. Senator Mike Crapo, Idaho
