The Journey Of Navajo Oshley, Robert S. Mcpherson

All USU Press Publications

Ak'é Nýdzin, or Navajo Oshley, was born sometime between 1879 and 1893. His oral memoir is set on the northern frontier of Navajo land, principally the San Juan River basin in southeastern Utah, and tells the story of his early life near Dennehetso and his travels, before there were roads or many towns, from Monument Valley north along Comb Ridge to Blue Mountain. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Anglos and Navajos expanded their use and settlement of lands north of the San Juan. Grazing lands and the Anglo wage economy drew many Navajos across the river. Oshley, …

Assessing Chinese Conflict Management Styles In Joint Ventures, Shuang Liu, Guo-Ming Chen

Communication Studies Faculty Publications

The nationwide economic reform in China has increased the opportunities for the study of intercultural understanding. However, currently very few studies examine the issue from conflict management perspective. It was the purpose of this study to apply existing literature on conflict management to assess Chinese conflict behaviors in joint ventures. The results indicated that Chinese managers and employees tended to adopt collaboration strategy more frequently than control strategy, and control strategy more frequently than non-confrontation strategies. The findings as well revealed that status and gender have a significant impact on the choice of conflict strategies. Implications and limitations were also …

Evolving Indigenous Law: Navajo Marriage--Cultural Traditions And Modern Challenges, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez

Faculty Scholarship

Tribal regulation of marriage is an example of tribal government and tribal court using the legal system to reclaim traditional values and to resist (at least in part) the dominant values imposed on the Navajo Nation. Identity as Dine (the Navajos term to refer to themselves) is based on clan affiliations, which are determined by blood and marriage. Marriage has been an important and sacred institution in Navajo tradition. The Navajo Supreme Court and the Tribal Council have attempted to find a substantive law of marriage that respects traditional Navajo culture while meeting contemporary needs of Navajo people. The Navajo …

Response To Critique Of The Claim Of Cannibalism At Cowboy Wash, Patricia M. Lambert, Banks L. Leonard, Brian R. Billman, Richard A. Marlar, Margaret E. Newman, Karl J. Reinhard

Karl Reinhard Publications

The original authors of Billman et af. (2000) are joined by three other analysts from the Cowboy Wash research team to respond to the critique of this article by Dongoske et af. (2000). Dongoske and his coauthors state that Billman et af. (2000) failed to test alternative hypotheses or to consider alternative explanations for the findings at 5MTJOOJO and similar sites. The original authors point out that alternative hypotheses were examined and rejected, leaving a violent episode of cannibalism as the most plausible explanation for the remains found at 5MTJOOJO. Dongoske et af. also question many aspects of the osteological, …

Birth Order, Sibling Investment, And Fertility Among Ju/’Hoansi (!Kung), Patricia Draper, Raymond Hames

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

Birth order has been examined over a wide variety of dimensions in the context of modern populations. A consistent message has been that it is better to be born first. The analysis of birth order in this paper is different in several ways from other investigations into birth order effects. First, we examine the effect of birth order in an egalitarian, small-scale, kin-based society, which has not been done before. Second, we use a different outcome measure, fertility, rather than outcome measures of social, psychological, or economic success. We find, third, that being born late in an egalitarian, technologically simple …

Protection Of Cultural Heritage Found On Private Land: The Paradigm Of The Miami Circle And Regulatory Takings Doctrine After Lucas, Patty Gerstenblith

St. Thomas Law Review

In Part I, this article will first review the development of protection in the United States for archaeological sites, including particularly Native American burials. In Part II, this article will analyze current Supreme Court and lower court jurisprudence concerning regulatory takings, particularly in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's 1992 decision, Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, in order to determine what would be the permissible extent of regulation and protection of archaeological sites located on private land and the disposition of objects found in such sites and burials. Part III examines the extent to which current state statutes protect …

Grounded Visions: Native American Conceptions Of Landscapes And Ceremony, Russel L. Barsh

St. Thomas Law Review

When the first wild strawberries flowered, my friend Chris Jocks, a Mohawk professor of comparative religion at Dartmouth, took his students to meet me at the old beaver pond on Thetford Hill. As the sun set behind a warm sprinkling of rain, we sat on top of the beaver dam and listened to successive waves of croaking, roaring, warbling, chirping, and hooting. "In the beginning," we explained that ''the Beaver made the world out of mud from the bottom of the waters. All the animals came and thanked the Creator. That is the way it was, and the way it …

The League Of The Iroquois: From Constitution To Sovereignty, Charles Radlauer

St. Thomas Law Review

Iroquois oral tradition relates that in early pre-colonial times, a peacemaker came to the Five Nations of the Iroquois, bringing a message of peace and establishing the Iroquois Confederation. The peacemaker, Deganawidah, also established a system of governance for the Five Nations,' which was incorporated into the earliest constitution of an American people. Numerous authors such as Bruce Johansen, Donald Grinde, and Gregory Schaaf have suggested that this oral tradition served as the foundation for the American Constitution. Other authors, such as Eric Jensen, have described these writings as fanciful and not based in fact; believing that many of the …
