Cultural Compromise Of The Wasco And Wishram Of The Middle Columbia River: The Effect Of Euro-American Technologies And Cultural Values On The Native Americans Of The Middle Columbia River, Linda Joyce Schreiner-Mahoney

Dissertations and Theses

This study examined the Wasco and Wishram's response to the introduction of Euro-American technologies and cultural expectations, and how it affected the natives' culture.

Student Work

Influenza, or the flu as it is commonly called, is considered nothing more than a mild physical nuisance that requires little more than bed rest and aspirin.
