Deegan, Surrounded by Enemy (1941-2018), was a member of North Dakota's Three Affiliated Tribes, and in 1965, Deegan earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree and a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies from NDSU. In 2021, NDSU Archives accepted Deegan's collection for long- term preservation. The exhibit showcases just a few of his projects in North Dakota. Each project reflects his dedication to celebrating Native American heritage.

An accompanying exhibit, "The Architecture of Surrounded by Enemy, Denby M. Deegan," is on display at the downtown Main Library through the month of November.
