Neal Salisbury

I remember a great guy!

Neal was my beloved life-long friend. Though I am far away, I will be at his graveside in spirit with all of you on that September day in the year 2022. Neal, we all love you - Carl Carlyle Spann

Neal served as a wonderful mentor when I attended the first NEH Native Americans of New England summer program. Neal inspired me, he was generous with his time and knowledge and made all of us scholars feel like we had a voice. I am sorry to hear of his passing, his legacy will live on through his family, writings, and the knowledge and spirit he passed down to his many students.

I had the pleasure of meeting and studying with Neal one summer at an NEH conference about Native Americans. His research, past experiences and easy going nature helped to make that conference a memorable event for me. Thank you for sharing so much more about Neal, his life story exemplifies how stillwaters do run deep. Condolences to all of the famly.

Neal's passing is a great loss to friends, family, and the academic world. I am grateful to have known him a bit through Smith College and the Five College Native American Indian Studies activities. He was a good person. My condolences to the family. Nancy Rich Chesterfield, MA

Another great one gone. My heart goes out to you, Dana and Cleo. What an amazing and accomplished life. Cliche or not, I will say that Neal will be missed by all those whose lives he touched.

He is amazing! Always was.

Dana, Phil was on T & P when Neal came up for tenure and what was most striking was how deeply the students with serious academic ambition were devoted to him. With our sympathy, Dorothy & Phil

Dana, what a beautiful obituary! You really captured Neil's humanity and spirit -- not a spec of the pretense so common in academia (especially among those as accomplished as he was). Lisa and I reach out to you in sympathy.
