Michael David Green, Professor Emeritus of American Studies and History at the University of North Carolina, died at Duke University Hospital on August 23, 2013, at the age of 72. He suffered from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and underwent a lung transplant on November 18, 2012.
Mr. Green was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Myrtle (Brownie) and Merton Green and grew up in Grundy Center, Mount Vernon, and Oelwein. He graduated from Cornell College in 1963, and earned his Ph. D. in history at the University of Iowa in 1973. He taught at West Texas State University, Monmouth College, the University of Iowa, Dartmouth College, the University of Oklahoma, the University of Kentucky, and the University of North Carolina. He was a superb lecturer and a devoted mentor. He retired from UNC in 2009. He was an exemplary researcher of the Cherokee Indians.
Mr. Green was a distinguished scholar of American Indians. At Dartmouth College, he chaired Native American Studies for eight years, and at UNC he founded the American Indian Studies Program. He was author of seven books.
He loved to travel visited all the continents and after retirement he and his wife embarked on a four-month trip around the world by land and sea that took him on the Queen Mary across the Atlantic, the Trans-Mongolian and Tibetan railways across Europe and Asia, and a container ship, the Hanjin Miami, across the Pacific.
Mr. Green had a strong sense of social and economic justice, which led him to support the Peace and Freedom Party and the Citizens Party before he settled into the Democratic camp at middle age. His keen sense of humor, however, enabled even Republicans to enjoy his company.
Michael's mother was Myrtle E. Brown,
