Beyond Pepper V. Hart: The Legislative Reform Of Statutory Interpretation In Singapore, Robert C. Beckman, Andrew B.L. Phang
Beyond Pepper V. Hart: The Legislative Reform Of Statutory Interpretation In Singapore, Robert C. Beckman, Andrew B.L. Phang
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
One of the major controversies in the area of statutory interpretation has centred on the use of parliamentary materials as extrinsic aids by courts in interpreting legislation. The English courts long prohibited any reference to parliamentary materials.' Legislation was passed in Australia in the 1980s to allow liberal reference to parliamentary materials in the courts. More recently, a seminal decision of the House of Lords in 1992 in Pepper (Inspector of Taxes) v. Hart' introduced significant flexibility into the hitherto rigid proscription followed in the English courts, although it did not go as far as the legislative reforms in Australia. …

Bioarchaeology And Cod Fisheries: A New Source Of Evidence, Thomas Amorosi, Thomas H. Mcgovern, Sophia Perdikaris
School of Global Integrative Studies: Faculty Publications
Archaeological excavations in the North Atlantic basin over the past two decades have recovered large amounts of fishbones from datable deposits extending back over 8000 years in some areas. Coverage of the last 1000 years (with particular emphasis on the climatic cooling of the “Little Ice Age”) is increasingly complete. Recent research makes it possible to reconstruct live lengths from commonly recovered fishbone elements. Preliminary findings indicate that cod of 1 to 1.5 m were being regularly taken in the eleventh to nineteenth centuries throughout the North Atlantic. Changes in fish size and mix of species taken probably reflect technological …

Diet And Disease On The Plain: Diabetes Among The Omaha, Lisa Hug
Diet And Disease On The Plain: Diabetes Among The Omaha, Lisa Hug
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
Non-insulin dependent diabetes is a rising health concern among the Omaha Tribe. The problem has developed from negligible levels in the 1960s to a significant health threat today. As of 1992, 35% of the Omaha Tribe adult population residing on the reservation had been diagnosed with the condition. and the actual proportion of people with the condition is probably much higher. The age of onset of the disease is decreasing so that people as young as 10 years of age are diabetics. The increase in diabetes is at least partly due to changes in diet practices that include the emergence …

Director's Note - Volume 4, Number 2, August 1994, John R. Wunder
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
This issue marks an end of an era for Great Plains Research. Begun in 1990 as a path breaking regional interdisciplinary science and social science journal, Great Plains Research is now poised for its fifth year of existence. Recently giving it a strong vote of confidence was a review panel chosen from the Fellows of the Center for Great Plains Studies to evaluate GPR. Their report issued in the spring of 1994 noted that because of the high quality of its initial editing and article submissions, the journal has quickly established itself as a quality scientific scholarly publication with …
Reviews Of Battles And Skirmishes Of The Great Sioux War, 1876-1877: The Military View By Jerome A. Greene, Gary P. Smith
Reviews Of Battles And Skirmishes Of The Great Sioux War, 1876-1877: The Military View By Jerome A. Greene, Gary P. Smith
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
Jerome Greene, a well known historian of the Indian War period, has written another important contribution to our understanding of the Indian Wars. This book, as the title suggests, describes the history of the Sioux War from the military perspective. Drawing from primary sources Greene uses historical descriptions generated by individuals who either participated in the actual conflict or were present during a battle or skirmish. This approach gives the book an original and fresh look at the events of the Indian-White conflict.
The book contains fifteen chapters dealing with individual battles or skirmishes. The preface and introduction provide a …
Will The House Win: Does Sovereignty Rule In Indian Casinos?, Beth M. Wilkins, Beth R. Ritter
Will The House Win: Does Sovereignty Rule In Indian Casinos?, Beth M. Wilkins, Beth R. Ritter
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
The historical conflict of interest between states and American Indian nations has encompassed jurisdictional disputes ranging from land rights, water rights. and taxation to civil and criminal issues. Many of these political. legal and economic disputes currently center on Indian gaming on reservations within state boundaries. The tribes have been put in the position. yet again. of fighting to define and articulate the exercise of their perceived sovereignty rights vis-a-vis the rights of the states. The federal role, as designated trustee of the tribes, has been and continues to be. an ambiguous. dynamic one. This paper explores the history, current …
Review Of The First Americans: Photographs From The Library Of Congress By William H. Goetzmann, Mary Beth Klauer
Review Of The First Americans: Photographs From The Library Of Congress By William H. Goetzmann, Mary Beth Klauer
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
For his The First Americans, Goetzmann selected photographs from the Library of Congress collection. Since their prints were offered for sale, turn-of- the-century photographers submitted copies of their work for federal copyrights. The collection does not include anthropological photographs since they were not generally sold to the public. The photos are indicative of the fascination with Native Americans which existed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Goetzmann notes that this fascination centers on the aspect of "lost innocence" from a classical, romantic point of view.
Review Of Battlefields And Burial Grounds: The Indian Struggle To Protect Ancestral Graves In The United States By Roger C. Echo-Hawk And Walter R. Echo-Hawk, Larry J. Zimmerman
Review Of Battlefields And Burial Grounds: The Indian Struggle To Protect Ancestral Graves In The United States By Roger C. Echo-Hawk And Walter R. Echo-Hawk, Larry J. Zimmerman
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
Pawnee efforts during the late 1980s to have the remains of their ancestors returned for reburial drew international attention. Their eventual victory set many legal and ethical precedents for proper treatment of American Indian human remains. Battlefields and Burial Grounds tells the Pawnee story, but in the broader context of the national reburial issue. It is a story of dominant society science versus indigenous beliefs and rights.
The collection and study of Indian remains grew hand in hand with colonialism and the development of American archaeology. Even though there is more than adequate evidence that some of the first collectors …
Review Of Archaeology, History, And Custer's Last Battle: The Little Big Horn Reexamined By Richard Allan Fox, Jr, Mark F. Baumler
Review Of Archaeology, History, And Custer's Last Battle: The Little Big Horn Reexamined By Richard Allan Fox, Jr, Mark F. Baumler
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
Already the subject of official inquiry, interviews, innumerable articles, books, symposia, movies, recreations, demonstrations, and undoubtedly more than one barroom fight-one could legitimately ask: is there anything new left to be said about Custer's' 'Last Stand" at the battle of the Little Big Horn? To the delight of some and the dismay of others, this book answers forthrightly in the affirmative and it does so convincingly.
Fox's contribution to previous efforts (both scholarly and otherwise) derives from the field of archaeology-a relative newcomer to the discussion surrounding the events of June 25, 1876. Using the material remains of the battle …
Review Of What This Awl Means: Feminist Archaeology At A Wahpeton Dakota Village By Janet D. Spector, Jennifer S. H. Brown
Review Of What This Awl Means: Feminist Archaeology At A Wahpeton Dakota Village By Janet D. Spector, Jennifer S. H. Brown
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
In the summer of 1980, Janet Spector began to conduct a University of Minnesota archaeological field school at Lillie Rapids on the Minnesota River, forty-five miles southwest of Minneapolis. The site was occupied in the early to mid-1800s by a Wahpeton Dakota summer village. Her challenge was not only to teach archaeology but constructively to combine evidence from the ground with documentary data from missionaries and others who had written about Native people and communities in the area.
“Make-Believe White-Men” And The Omaha Land Allotments Of 1871-1900, Mark J. Awakuni-Swetland
“Make-Believe White-Men” And The Omaha Land Allotments Of 1871-1900, Mark J. Awakuni-Swetland
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
The (Dawes) General Allotment Act of 1887 was meant to fulfill the United States Government policy of allotting individual parcels of Indian reservation lands in an effort to break up communal societies, forcing tribes to move towards the white man's ideal of civilized culture. Three decades earlier, Article 6 of the Treaty of 1854 allowed for the survey and allotting of the Omaha's northeastern Nebraska reservation, placing the Omaha Nation at the leading edge of federal policy a generation before the Dawes Act. Two interrelated groups of tribal members identified as "Make-Believe White-Men" and the "Progressives" who signed an 1882 …
The Evolution Of Bilingual Education In An American Indian Community : A Decade Of Evaluation As Applied Anthropology, Janet Goldenstein Ahler
The Evolution Of Bilingual Education In An American Indian Community : A Decade Of Evaluation As Applied Anthropology, Janet Goldenstein Ahler
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
Applied anthropology has much to offer the educational evaluator role. especially in cross-cultural settings concerning language and bilingual education programs. This study examines the evolution of an elementary school Indian language and bilingual education program in a small. northern plains American Indian reservation community, the use of anthropological research methods. and the role of the external evaluator. Findings suggest that evaluation and change recommendations are more likely to be accepted when they are derived from the participants in the program rather than from an external evaluator.
Review Of The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, 1877-1900 By Orlan J. Svingen, Michael L. Tate
Review Of The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, 1877-1900 By Orlan J. Svingen, Michael L. Tate
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
In the larger context of Plains Indian history, the Northern Cheyenne seem to drop from public consciousness following their military defeat in the campaigns of 1876-77 and their subsequent removal to an arid reservation in western Indian Territory. Mari Sandoz somewhat rescued these people from obscurity in her partially fictionalized Cheyenne Autumn (1953), which dramatized their mistreatment on the reservation, their heroic efforts to return to traditional homelands in Montana, and the bloody 1879 breakout from Ft. Robinson, Nebraska. Yet it is on that note of tragedy that their story seems to end, amid the battered bodies of fifty or …
The Politics Of Retribalization: The Northern Ponca Case, Beth Ritter
The Politics Of Retribalization: The Northern Ponca Case, Beth Ritter
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
The recently restored Ponca Tribe of Nebraska has faced considerable challenges to the expression of their tribalism throughout the contact period. As a small. prairie-plains tribe the Ponca have endured the ravages of epidemic disease. land cessions. dispossession and removal. assimilation and finally in 1962. the outright termination of their status as a federally recognized tribe. The Ponca Tribe of Nebraska has been granted the opportunity to attempt retribalization with the 1990 Congressional restoration of their recognized status. The historical circumstances which have contributed to the assaults on their political and cultural identity will be explored within the larger framework …
Kiowa Powwows: Tribal Identity Through The Continuity Of The Gourd Dance, Benjamin R. Kracht
Kiowa Powwows: Tribal Identity Through The Continuity Of The Gourd Dance, Benjamin R. Kracht
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
Today, intertribal participants at Southern Plains powwows (Oklahoma and Texas) celebrate common history and culture-their sense of "Indianness"-through the enactment of ceremonial song and dance. The Kiowa playa central and assertive role in the Southern Plains powwow network. and they use the Gourd Dance as the vehicle to identify their "Kiowaness." The thesis of this paper is that the Kiowa continue to maintain their tribal identity through performances of the Gourd Dance. which they claim as their own. The maintenance of identity is traced from the late nineteenth century through the evolution of Kiowa dances leading up to the Gourd …
