The "Free Road": Indigenous Travel And Rights Of Passage On The Missouri River, Christopher Steinke Jun 2015

The "Free Road": Indigenous Travel And Rights Of Passage On The Missouri River, Christopher Steinke

History ETDs

Well before Lewis and Clark, Native Americans traveled on the Missouri River, crossing it to visit friends and family members, shipping supplies downriver, and conducting visitors toward their villages. Their mobility on the upper Missouri River, an imposing and dangerous continental divide, granted them the power to define rights of passage across the midcontinent. Following the collapse of New Cahokia, Arikara and Mandan settlers pressed up the river valley and established expansive transportation and communication networks that stretched across the Missouri watershed. By 1650 their villages were influential centers of Native North America and places where river crossings held not …


Fanaticos, Exiles And The Mexico-U.S. Border: Episodes Of Mexican State Reconstruction, 1923-1929, Julian Dodson Jun 2015

Fanaticos, Exiles And The Mexico-U.S. Border: Episodes Of Mexican State Reconstruction, 1923-1929, Julian Dodson

History ETDs

Fanaticos, Exiles and the Mexico-United States Border: Episodes of Mexican State Reconstruction, 1923-1929,' examines the major challenges to state reconstruction in Mexico in the wake of its decade of revolutionary violence, 1910-1920. The Mexican state, since the beginning of the revolution, found that the best way to deal with political dissent was to exile its malcontents. By the 1920s, this practice had conjured the necessity for an expanding external surveillance apparatus, as it also created the conditions by which dangerous alliances could be made between Catholic dissidents, and the more politically ambitious exiles from both before and after the revolution. …


Plan Perquenco And Chile's Indigenous Policies Under The Pinochet Dictatorship, 1976-1988, Scott Crago Jun 2015

Plan Perquenco And Chile's Indigenous Policies Under The Pinochet Dictatorship, 1976-1988, Scott Crago

History ETDs

This dissertation analyzes the administrative structure and development of Chiles indigenous policies under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990), taking as its focus a pilot project for indigenous Mapuche integration known as Plan Perquenco. Existing scholarship provides important analyses of the impact of the military regime's 1979 indigenous law, Decree Law 2568, which legalized the division and privatization of Mapuche communal lands. However, land division was not the sole mechanism of the regime's indigenous policy. The Ministry of Agriculture, in consultation with the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), designed Plan Perquenco to ensure that after land division, Mapuche …

Natural Resource Revolutions: Mexico And Cuba Within The Sphere Of U.S. Hegemony, Joseph J. García May 2015

Natural Resource Revolutions: Mexico And Cuba Within The Sphere Of U.S. Hegemony, Joseph J. García

Latin American Studies ETDs

The improbable trajectories of Mexico and Cuba give rise to compelling questions: in what ways have the revolutionary governments of Mexico and Cuba been able to practice successful defiance of the United States hegemon of the twentieth century? And how has that defiance helped to define U.S. foreign policy in Latin America? This dissertation presents a detailed examination of the contexts surrounding both the Mexican and Cuban Revolutions and their struggle against imperialist-driven interventions by the United States in Latin America and the Caribbean. I argue that through strategic decisions, the Mexican and Cuban revolutionary governments were able to ward …


Cultural Interaction And Biological Distance Among Postclassic Mexican Populations, Corey Steven Ragsdale May 2015

Cultural Interaction And Biological Distance Among Postclassic Mexican Populations, Corey Steven Ragsdale

Anthropology ETDs

Human population structure is influenced by cultural and biological interactions. Little is known regarding to what extent cultural interactions effect biological processes such as migration and genetic exchange among prehistoric populations. In this study, I draw upon archaeological and ethnohistoric research to investigate the interaction of biology and culture among Postclassic period (AD 900-1519) Mexican populations. The central question for this project is: how did processes of economic exchange and political expansion affect genetic exchange among Postclassic period Mexican populations? To address this question, various biological distance analyses derived from dental morphological traits were employed to investigate inter- and intra-regional …


Ayotzinapa #43 Disappeared In Headlines: Discursive Recognition, Awareness, Erasure And Violence In Popular Media Production, Claudia L. Mitchell Apr 2015

Ayotzinapa #43 Disappeared In Headlines: Discursive Recognition, Awareness, Erasure And Violence In Popular Media Production, Claudia L. Mitchell

Research and Development Supported by El Centro

This paper explores how one incident became a symbol of recognition and awareness while simultaneously one of erasure and violence and how people mobilize to challenge neoliberal state projects and violence. A critical analysis of the media discourse surrounding, the kidnapping and disappearance of 43 male students from Raul Isidro Burgos Escuela rural de Ayotzinapa on September 26, 2014 reveals a symbolic simultaneity of recognition and erasure, which has profound gender implications. This exploration of select media on the #43 students reveals how narratives whose purpose is to inform the public actually minimize epidemic like violence occurring against women by …

American Indian Children And U.S. Policy, Angelique Eaglewoman (Wambdi A. Wastewin), Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota Oyate Of The Lake Traverse Reservation, G. William Rice, United Keetoowah Band Of Cherokee Indians In Oklahoma Jan 2015

American Indian Children And U.S. Policy, Angelique Eaglewoman (Wambdi A. Wastewin), Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota Oyate Of The Lake Traverse Reservation, G. William Rice, United Keetoowah Band Of Cherokee Indians In Oklahoma

Tribal Law Journal

This article presents the major impact of implemented U.S. Indian policies on the lives of American Indian children. First, the article discusses U.S. policies aimed to re-socializing American Indians through imposition of external language, culture, and beliefs through a system of government-mandated education. In the late 1700s through the 1800s, the U.S. government set a course for military control over American Indian peoples. Re-socialization as an assimilation policy forced profound lifestyle and culture changes. These policies were aimed directly at American Indian children through mandatory Indian residential boarding schools. After decades of resistance, many tribal communities achieved educational reform. Assimilation …


We Put Down Our Guns And Picked Up Microphones: Community Radio As A Conduit For Community Development In Guatemala, Elizabeth Halpin Dec 2014

We Put Down Our Guns And Picked Up Microphones: Community Radio As A Conduit For Community Development In Guatemala, Elizabeth Halpin

Latin American Studies ETDs

The intent of this thesis is to explore how community radio in Guatemala is used as a tool for community development. The concept of development I use is based off the idea that in order to build and maintain a sustainable quality of life there must be a solid community foundation for social capacity. Approaching radio as a conduit for change, I examine the various roles the radio takes on in order to enhance the overall quality of life by serving as (1) a channel for community knowledge; (2) a platform for indigenous rights; (3) a pillar for community solidarity; …

Criminal Authorities And The State: Gangs, Organized Crime, And Police In Brazil, Michael Wolff Sep 2014

Criminal Authorities And The State: Gangs, Organized Crime, And Police In Brazil, Michael Wolff

Political Science ETDs

Drug gangs and organized criminal groups rarely evolve into structured authorities governing their resident communities. Where this occurs, however, they may effectively replace the state in its most basic functions, and consequently exclude subject populations from the rights and protections supposedly guaranteed by the state. Employing qualitative research methods, this study compares criminal development and state public security policies in Rio de Janeiro and Recife, Brazil. The research is primarily concerned with the development of criminal authority structures, and asks when, where, why, and how they develop. Arguing that the extant literature on organized crime fails to adequately explain this …


Development And Kinetic Modeling Of Multiplex Microsphere Assays For High-Throughput Discovery Of Protease Active Small Molecule Compounds, Jingsh Zhu Jul 2014

Development And Kinetic Modeling Of Multiplex Microsphere Assays For High-Throughput Discovery Of Protease Active Small Molecule Compounds, Jingsh Zhu

Nanoscience and Microsystems ETDs

In this dissertation, we have designed a series of recombinant fluorescent full-length protease substrates containing the cleavage sites separated by a biotinylation tag and a GFP domain, which can be associated with streptavidin-coated microspheres/nanospheres. We have developed microsphere-based platforms to detect the cleavage activities of several proteases simultaneously. In addition, we have performed high-throughput screening (HTS) to identify potential inhibitors for the Bacillus anthracis lethal factor protease (LF) and the Botulinum neurotoxin type A & F light chain proteases (BoNT/A & F LC). In order to select the efficient inhibitors, a chemical library of 350,000 compounds was screened with the …


The Last Apache "Broncho": The Apache Outlaw In The Popular Imagination, 1886-2013, Leah Candolin Cook Jul 2014

The Last Apache "Broncho": The Apache Outlaw In The Popular Imagination, 1886-2013, Leah Candolin Cook

History ETDs

This study examines the American mythmaking of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Apache 'renegades' and their post—Apache Wars counterpart the Apache 'bronchos' in popular culture and memory. The idea of the 'broncho' Apache created fear, insecurity, and cautionary folklore for residents of the American Southwest and northern Mexico from 1886—1930s. Over time, white appropriations of Apaches in literature, film, and pop culture would evolve from the murderous wild 'savage,' to the sympathetic anti-hero, to the hero. This thesis connects representations of Apaches with contemporaneous American attitudes on race, masculinity, nostalgia. Although portrayals of Apaches changed over time, an underlying theme of the …


Hippies In The Park: Yosemite And The Counterculture In The Sixties American West, Guy Mcclellan Jul 2014

Hippies In The Park: Yosemite And The Counterculture In The Sixties American West, Guy Mcclellan

History ETDs

For many visitors, Yosemite's park boundaries symbolize a division between nature and civilization. On a busy day in Yosemite Valley, however, that divide seems nonexistent. Cars slither by, glinting in the sun. The valley echoes with camera clicks. Tourists stream into grocery stores and souvenir shops. The post office sorts mail and the dentist cleans teeth. In short, Yosemite Valley is little different than a small town. The American West is defined by wilderness but dominated by cities. Yosemite Valley, the park's population center, exemplifies the tension between the two. My research examines this ideological conflict through the lens of …

Success Of Small-Scale Farms In The Middle Rio Grande Region, Sarah Wentzel-Fisher Jul 2014

Success Of Small-Scale Farms In The Middle Rio Grande Region, Sarah Wentzel-Fisher

Architecture and Planning ETDs

Food systems development, while historically not the purview of professional planners, would benefit greatly from their interdisciplinary expertise. Small agricultural businesses are important economic and social drivers in the Middle Rio Grande. Increased demand for locally grown foods by Middle Rio Grande residents and food businesses, like restaurants and grocery stores, mean that more than ever, farm businesses have opportunities for success and for making meaningful contributions to their communities. In addition, many of the necessary resources exist right here in this area that can enable local growers’ success, including agricultural land, irrigation infrastructure, easy access to markets, and a …

The Columbus Myth: Power And Ideology In Picturebooks About Christopher Columbus, Christina M. Desai Feb 2014

The Columbus Myth: Power And Ideology In Picturebooks About Christopher Columbus, Christina M. Desai

University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications

In 1992, the 500th anniversary of Columbuss landing in the Bahamas was simultaneously celebrated and denounced in the US. Damaging facts about Columbus and the impact of his voyages were aired along with demands for truth and change. This study analyzes the power relationships and political ideology of picturebooks about Columbus published in the US in the 20 years since that anniversary to determine what messages and attitudes young readers are likely to absorb from them and whether the picturebook image of Columbus has evolved. It draws on the ideas of progressive educator Herbert Kohl, who demonstrates how the analysis …
