"Pap" Singleton's Dunlap Colony: Relief Agencies And The Failure Of A Black Settlement In Easter Kansas, Joseph V. Hickey

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

"T here are gathered at Dunlap and vicinity at the present time between 275 and 300 families of colored people, all of whom are succeeding quite well and many of whom are on the road to prosperity. The plan of Dunlap Colony is very simple, the chief reason, probably, of the success met with, being the fact that every settler is compelled to own his property, no renting being permitted ... as Mr. Atchison expressed it, "everyone is fat and happy . . ."

Review Of The Checkered Years: A Bonanza Farm Diary, 1884-88., H. Elaine Lindgren

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Mary Dodge Woodward's keen observations, written in her diaries, serve to recreate days of bonanza farming in the Red River Valley of the North in the 1880s. Mary Dodge Woodward came to the Fargo area to live on a bonanza farm managed by her son Walter. A telescope extended Mary Dodge Woodward's view of the land stretching beyond the farmyard. "I stand at the east chamber-which is my observatory- with the spy glass everyday" (82).

Reviw Of Before Lewis And Clark Volume 1: Documents Illustrating The History Of The Missouri, 1785- 1804 And Before Lewis And Clark Volume 2: Documents Iuustrating The History Of The Missouri, 1785- 1804, W. Raymond Wood

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

It now has been nearly forty years since the publication of Nasatir's landmark study Before Lewis and Clark. In those decades it has grown to be an indispensable aid in the historical scholarship of the Great Plains. The reason? This history of the pre-Lewis and Clark Missouri River provides a comprehensive data base and summary that is unobtainable in any other form. The original two-volume set, unfortunately, has been out of print for many years, and the great cost of the original volumes (usually in three figures) on the used book market is added testimony to their scholarly value. …

Revie Of Breaking The Iron Bonds: Indian Control Of Energy Development., Russell Lawrence Barsh

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Few things were as exhilarating for Indian tribes in the last twenty years, or as controversial, as energy development. There has long been a need for a worthy successor to Jorgensen's critical collection, Native Americans and Energy Development II (Joseph G. Jorgensen, ed. [Boston: Anthropology Resource Center, 1984]). Unfortunately, Ambler does not meet the challenge.

Review Of Heaven Is Near The Rocky Mountains, Robin Ridington

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Thomas Woolsey was a Methodist missionary in the Edmonton region between 1855 and 1864. This book is a collection of his letters and journals, edited by historian Hugh Dempsey. Woolsey seems to have been concerned more with combating his Oblate "Romish" competitors than he was in understanding the Cree, Stoney, Blackfoot, and Sarcee Indians with whom he came into contact. Woolsey was thoroughly convinced of the superiority of his Methodism over heathenism and popery alike. He seems to have been a decent and articulate person, but not a particularly engaged observer of the Indian peoples to whom he ministered.

Review Of The Cheyenne, Gregory R. Campbell

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

The Cheyenne by Stan Hoig is one volume in Chelsea House Publishers' series on Indians of North America. The purpose of these volumes, according to general series editor Frank W. Porter III, is to examine the problems that developed as a result of Native American-European contact and to provide all Americans with a greater comprehension of the issues and conflicts involving American Indians today. If we evaluate this work against the series' goals, we must conclude that The Cheyenne is a somewhat disappointing effort.

Review Of The Crow, W. Raymond Wood

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

This volume is not simply a review of Crow lifeways, but it also provides a history of the group from its first contact with Euro-Americans to the present day. White actions, so consistently at odds with Indian self-determination, are neither condoned nor scourged but are viewed within the framework of government and private Indian policy, the actions of wellmeaning as well as greedy individuals, and the often diametrically opposed world views of the Crows and the whites.

Review Of The Seminole, Susan A. Miller

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

The series Indians of North America, intended to introduce various U.S. Indian groups to an audience of young adults, features eyecatching design, tough construction, short bibliographies, boxed treatments of appealing topics, and short four-color photo essays. Although the Florida Seminoles merit such a study, The Seminole is too flawed to fill that niche.

An Isolated Storage Vessel At Site 42sa20779 In Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Adaptive Storage And Caching Behavior In The Prehistoric Southwest, Anne M. Wolley, Alan J. Osborn

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

This report documents the excavation and analysis of a large, isolated ceramic vessel discovered in the spring of 1988 in the Hite Marina area of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah Project #89-NA-051N. Several college students from Western State College in Colorado (Dean Brian, Matt How, Cathy Arvey, and Mike Donaldson) were hiking in the area when Dean Brian discovered the pot. Aware of the possible significance of such a find, Matt How immediately contacted Park Archaeologist Kris Kincaid and informed her of the vessel's location. Matt later returned with his family, Micky and JoNell How, when archaeologists Kincaid and …

Dietary And Parasitological Aanalysis Of Coprolites Recovered From Mummy 5, Ventana Cave, Arizona, Karl J. Reinhard, Richard H. Hevly

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

Four coprolites were excavated with Burial 5 at Ventena Cave, a partially mummified five-year-old child. Two coprolites were granular and dark in color and two were fibrous and light in color. The coprolites are remains of the child's intestinal contents and were submitted for dietary and parasitological analysis. No parasites were found. The fibrous coprolites proved to be remains of highly masticated mesquite pods (Prosopis). The granular coprolites consist of seeds of saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea). Pollen analysis reveals two dietary pollen types, both derived from cactus. No evidence of cultivated plants except for a trace …

Doctoral Dissertations As Liminal Journeys Of The Self: Betwixt And Between In Graduate Sociology Programs, Mary Jo Deegan, Michael R. Hill

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

The sociology dissertation process is a liminal journey, a passage characterized by ambiguity, uncertainty, and crisis in which the student self is abandoned and a new professional self claims a world of power. authority, maturity, and responsibility. The theoretical perspectives of Victor Turner, Arnold Van Gennep, and George H. Mead are extended to conceptualize the “liminal self who undertakes this difficult and problematic journey of transformation. Experiential methodology, in which theory and autobiography are combined, is employed to explicate the dissertation as a conflictful rite de passage and to critique doctoral projects that unrefexively adopt “technical formulas” for success and …

Evolution Of The Aeluroid Camivora: Hyaenid Affinities Of The Miocene Camivoran Tungurictis Spocki From Inner Mongolia, Robert M. Hunt Jr., Nikos Solounias

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Among the mammalian fossils discovered in were crania and mandibles of rare carnivorans, 1930 by the Central Asiatic Expedition of the including the first complete skulls of several Asian American Museum of Natural History (New York) mid-Miocene lineages. Most of these fossils came in the Tung Gur Formation of Inner Mongolia from a single locality termed Wolf Camp Quarry that produced, among other striking finds, a small fox-sized cranium referred to a new genus and species Tungurictis spocki Colbert 1939. Today this remains the only known cranium of Tungurictis yet discovered. Preparation and reinterpretation of the auditory region demonstrate that …

Potential Impacts Of Biomass Production In The United States On Biological Diversity, James H. Cook, Jan Beyea, Kathleen H. Keeler

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Biomass could be a renewable source of energy and chemicals that would not add CO₂ to the atmosphere. It will become economically competitive as its cost decreases relative to energy costs, and biotechnology is expected to accelerate this trend by increasing biomass productivity. Pressure to slow global warming may also make biomass more attractive. Substantial dependence on biomass would entail massive changes in land use, risking serious reductions in biodiversity through destruction of habitat for native species. Forests could be managed and harvested more intensively, and virtually all arable land unsuitable for high-value agriculture or silviculture might be used …

The Centennial Ethic And The Spirit Of Archivalism, Michael R. Hill

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

My thinking about the possible relationships between centennials and archives was prompted first by my own work on archives and archival methodology (Hill 1989, 1990, Forthcoming) and second by the upcoming centennial of the American Sociological Association (ASA) in 2005. It is to the centennial of the Department of Sociology at the University of Kansas, however, to which I owe the specific impetus to prepare this paper. I am very pleased, as a neighbor from Nebraska, to celebrate with you the founding of the world's very first department of sociology at the University of Kansas (Sica 1983). We are, of …

Hermeneutica Gloriae Vs. Hermeneutica Crucis: Sebastian Franck And Martin Luther On The Clarity Of Scripture, Priscilla A. Hayden-Roy

German Language and Literature Papers

Martin Luther maintains throughout his work, and with special emphasis in On the Bondage of the Will, that Scripture is clear. Unlike Erasmus, who warns that we should avoid obscure parts of Scripture that, like the Cave of Corycos, would lure us too close to terrors beyond our comprehension, Luther argues that Scripture has been placed in the clearest light by the coming of Christ, in whom all of Scripture's mysteries have been revealed. If we were to look for a contemporary of Luther's to represent the opposite pole, the obscurity or ambiguity of Scripture, it would not be Erasmus …

Ecology Of Depression In Late Childhood And Early Adolescence: A Profile Of Daily States And Activities, Reed Larson, Marcela Raffaelli, Maryse H. Richards, Mark Ham, Lisa Jewell

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

This study investigated daily states and time use patterns associated with depression. Four hundred eighty-three 5th to 9th graders reported on their experience when signaled by pagers at random times. Depressed youth reported more negative affect and social emotions, lower psychological investment, lower energy, and greater variability in affect. These differences were weaker for 5th and 6th graders, suggesting that self-reported feeling states are a poor indicator of depression prior to adolescence. No differences were found in the daily activities of depressed youths nor in the amount of time spent alone, but depressed youths experienced other people as less friendly …

Review Of Early Prehistoric Agriculture In The American Southwest, By W. H. Wills. Santa Fe, New Mexico: School Of American Research Press, 1988. 196 Pages., Alan J. Osborn

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

Last paragraph:

Wills's book provides archeologists with an innovative account of why and how past hunter-gatherers initially expanded their food-getting activities to include the cultivation of domesticated crops. His study makes use of a variety of subjects including r- and K-selection, density-dependent responses, risk minimization, the forager-collector continuum, maize phenology, Holocene environments, technological change, stylistic variation, social boundaries, and mating networks. Wills also offers new information and reassessments of the archeological record at Bat, Tularosa, Cordova, and Cienega Creek caves in the Mogollon highlands. He approaches the archeological literature for the American Southwest with healthy skepticism. And he challenges many …

Learning By Design: Constructing Experiential Learning Programs, Daniela Weinberg, Gerald M. Weinberg

ADAPT Program: Essays

How can we assure that our students really learn? If we want to improve the learning process, we'll have to decide what we mean by "learn." Recall a time when you learned
something new -- a new skill, a new technique, a new word, a new hobby, a new way of interacting with people and consider the following three questions:

First, why did you bother? . You knew that learning would change you, and that change meant stress. Why would anyone volunteer for additional stress?

Second, how dld you feel during the learning process? Was it difficult or easy? Was …

A "Little Book Of Samples": Evidence Of Textiles Traded To The American Indians, Rita J. Adrosko

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

The original inhabitants of the United States were hunters and farmers, who used the produce of the hunt and of their gardens for food, clothing and shelter, for ritual purposes and pleasure. While some textiles were produced by Indians before the arrival of Europeans, the colorful yardgoods, blankets, kerchiefs, ribbons, and tapes introduced by the Europeans quickly became popular items of trade.

As early as 1685 wool fabrics such as matchcoat (a cloak material), stroudwaters, blankets, and stocking were listed among goods traded by William Perm's agents for lands west of the Delaware River. Two years earlier in a similar …

Trade In Hispanic Weavings Of Northern New Mexico And The Social Construction Of Tradition!, Suzanne Baizerman

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

No discussion of late 20th century trade in textiles - particularly trade in what has been called "regional" or "ethnic" textiles - would be complete without a discussion of the terms "traditional" and "authentic" for these terms inform even a lay person's evaluation of textiles on the market today.

As textile professionals, we encounter terms like "textile tradition," "traditional textiles" or even "authentic traditional textiles" in our everyday experience: a textile brought back by a collector from travel to a Third World nation or a textile on display in a museum. These textiles are subjected to discussions of their authenticity, …

Reconstructing The Ancient Aegean/Egyptian Textile Trade, Elizabeth Barber

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

For years archaeologists have commented on the occurrence of typically Aegean patterns on the ceilings of a fair number of Egyptian tombs, while musing that they could not see how such patterns were reaching Egypt. Certainly Minoan and Mycenaean potsherds had been found in fair numbers in Egypt; but the designs on the Egyptian ceilings were not the ones used by Aegean potters. To me, however, the particular patterns and layouts seemed strongly reminiscent of weaving —a craft I was quite familiar with, unlike most archaeologists, because my mother was a weaver. If the source of these ceiling patterns were …

Labor Organization And Textile Trade In Northern Thailand In The Nineteenth Century, Katherine A. Bowie

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

The Thai peasant economy has frequently been characterized as a "subsistence economy" in which villagers planted their own rice and wove their own clothing. The uncritical use of the phrase "subsistence economy" has contributed to a series of significant misunderstandings about the character of the Thai peasant political economy, including the social process of cloth production.¹

Because most scholars have assumed that obtaining clothing was not a problem for villagers, they have tended to minimize the significance of differences in dress between rich and poor in traditional nineteenth century Thai society. I believe that a better understanding of the …

The Role Of The Middleman In The Trade Of Real Madras Handkerchief (Madras Plaids), Sandra Lee Evenson

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

The Kalahari people live and work in the Niger delta of southern Nigeria. There are some twenty-two Kalahari island settlements dispersed among the Santa Barbera, Santa Bartholomew, Sombreiro, and New Calabar Rivers (Jones: 1963, Daly: 1983) with Buguma, Abonnema, and Bakana their most recognized commercial and cultural centers; though, many Kalahari are employed in the more homogeneous city of Port Harcourt. (Daly: 1983)

Their location on the Niger delta favoured an economy based on fishing and trade. Originally, the Kalahari traded up-river for vegetables and grain in exchange for salt and fish. They also traded across the delta, most notably …
