The Xhosa And The Truth And Reconciliation Commission: African Ways, Douglas H.M. Carver Jan 2008

The Xhosa And The Truth And Reconciliation Commission: African Ways, Douglas H.M. Carver

Tribal Law Journal

The author begins by providing a conceptual framework for indigenous people generally and then focuses on indigenous people in South Africa. Mr. Carver then discusses the culture and customs of the Xhosa, one of the main ethnic groups from the Republic of South Africa. He then discusses the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), set up in South Africa after the fall of the apartheid regime, which was meant to rebuild a society divided by racial and ethnic lines. The author explains how the Xhosa concept of "ubuntu" – encompassing African concepts of justice, harmony and reconciliation — became a core …


Shadow War Scholarship, Indigenous Legal Tradition, And Modern Law In Indian Country, Christine Zuni Cruz Jan 2008

Shadow War Scholarship, Indigenous Legal Tradition, And Modern Law In Indian Country, Christine Zuni Cruz

Tribal Law Journal

In this essay, Tribal Law Journal Editor-in-Chief Zuni Cruz comments on the purpose of the Tribal Law Journal. She borrows the term "shadow war" from the Zapatistas' use of the Internet as she describes the Journal's endeavor to make Indigenous law explicit and to promote mental sovereignty. She challenges and invites others who write about the law of Indigenous Peoples to join in making legal scholarship in this area accessible to the public, especially the Indigenous public, and to create a depository of thought, rejecting the scattering of thought, by publishing legal scholarship in the global, publicly accessible e-journal, that …

Indigenous Legal Traditions, Cultural Rights, And Tierras Colectivas: A Jurisprudential Reading From The Emberá-Wounaan Community, Lauren Koller-Armstrong

Tribal Law Journal

This paper provides an overview of the Emberá-Wounaan indigenous group of Panama in the context of its legal traditions, worldview, and socio-political organization. In addition, this work examines how overlapping systems of tribal law and national Panamanian law have shaped 1) the tribe's geographic boundaries; and 2) environmental management in tribal communities


Toda Cambia Y Todo Sigue Siendo Igual (The More Things Change, The More The Stay The Same): How Fifteen Years Later The Constant Threat Of An End To The Zapatistas Continues To Justify Their Means, Pamela Genghini Hernandez Jan 2008

Toda Cambia Y Todo Sigue Siendo Igual (The More Things Change, The More The Stay The Same): How Fifteen Years Later The Constant Threat Of An End To The Zapatistas Continues To Justify Their Means, Pamela Genghini Hernandez

Tribal Law Journal

This article gives a chronological account of the events pre-dating the uprising of January 1, 1994 and the Zapatista struggle through the years. The author examines these events in light of indigenous self-determination, taking into consideration conditions within Mexico, to defend the course of action taken by the EZLN as a means of creating a space for themselves within Mexican society. The author argues the current state of federal Mexican law and international law do not leave Indigenous Peoples, including the EZLN, viable options for resolving injustices committed against them. She also provides an overview of the structure that the …

Responsive Algorithms For Defending Recon Gurable Networks, Chaouki T. Abdallah, I-Ching Boman, Jared Saia, Edl Schamiloglu Jan 2008

Responsive Algorithms For Defending Recon Gurable Networks, Chaouki T. Abdallah, I-Ching Boman, Jared Saia, Edl Schamiloglu

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

We present algorithms to self-heal reconfigurable networks when they are under attack. These algorithms reconfigure the network during attack to protect two critical invariants. First, they insure that the network remains connected. Second, they insure that no node increases its degree by more than O(log n). We show both theoretically and empirically that our algorithms can successfully maintain these invariants even for large networks under massive attack by a computationally unbounded adversary.

Gene Therapy Using Tet-Repressor System To Modulate Prostate Tumor Microenvironment, Nazita Yousefieh Jan 2008

Gene Therapy Using Tet-Repressor System To Modulate Prostate Tumor Microenvironment, Nazita Yousefieh

Theses and Dissertations in Biomedical Sciences

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in men in the United States and is projected to be the third most frequent cause of male cancer-related deaths in 2007 after lung and skin cancers. The initial treatment for prostate cancer at early stages is prostatectomy or radiation, which usually is curative. However, approximately 20% of patients are not cured by such treatments and their cancer recurs, sometimes with long latencies. In other patients prostate cancer is diagnosed only after the cancer has metastasized and there are no effective therapies at this stage. Therefore immunotherapy seems to be a promising …

The 101s training and materials evaluated in this study included ten principles/skills to support respectful, responsive interactions hypothesized to support positive prosocial skill responding. Training was provided to 34 teachers with control and experimental groups. Analysis of quantitative pre and post observation data found …


Fine-Grained Reputation-Based Routing In Wireless Ad Hoc Networks, Alma Cemerlic Jan 2008

Fine-Grained Reputation-Based Routing In Wireless Ad Hoc Networks, Alma Cemerlic

Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

Ad hoc networks are very helpful in situations when no fixed network infrastructure is available. They are especially important in emergency situations such as natural disasters and military conflicts. Most developed wireless ad hoc routing protocols are designed to discover and maintain an active path from source to destination with an assumption that every node is friendly and cooperative. However, it is possible that the participating nodes are selfish or malicious. A mechanism to evaluate reputation for each node is essential for the reliability and security of routing protocol in ad hoc networks. We propose a fine-grained reputation system for …

Narrative Braids: Performing Racial Literacy (Interviewed By Gene Grant), Christine Zuni Cruz, Margaret Montoya

Faculty Scholarship

The performance that is the basis for this joint publication was performed at the Harriet Tubman Theatre at the National Underground Railroad Justice Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The two of us, Christine Zuni Cruz, a Pueblo woman from the Rio Grande Pueblos of Oke Owingeh and lsleta in New Mexico, and Margaret Montoya, a mestiza/Chicana from northern New Mexico, using both our personal voices and our professional voices as legal scholars, enacted the theatrical performance, a conversation between two women of color from different communities with different identities. This performance experiments with both method and content. The method is a …


Dams, Duties, And Discretion: Bureau Of Reclamation Water Project Operations And The Endangered Species Act, Reed D. Benson Jan 2008

Dams, Duties, And Discretion: Bureau Of Reclamation Water Project Operations And The Endangered Species Act, Reed D. Benson

Faculty Scholarship

Nearly thirty years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court decided whether the survival of a relatively small number of three-inch fish among all the countless millions of species extant would require the permanent halting of a virtually completed dam for which Congress has expended more than $100 million.' Stunningly, the fish won, because the language, history, and structure of the Endangered Species Act showed 'beyond doubt that Congress intended endangered species to be afforded the highest of priorities.' The Court acknowledged that this view of the statute would carry substantial economic costs, but was persuaded that '[t]he plain intent of Congress …
