An Analysis Of Uriay Culture And Gospel Presentation To The Uriay Tribe, Kaitlin R. Sones
An Analysis Of Uriay Culture And Gospel Presentation To The Uriay Tribe, Kaitlin R. Sones
Senior Honors Theses
The Uriay people group in Papua New Guinea is a remote animistic tribe that has just recently heard the Gospel. This people group is just one of the thousands of distinct cultures in this world, many of which have not yet received the good news of Jesus Christ. This thesis opens by analyzing culture and animism and culminates with an ethnographic description of the Uriay tribe based on personal observation and information collected from missionaries who have lived among the Uriay people for over ten years. The purpose of this thesis is to provide research on this remote people group …

Developing Cultural Awareness: A Qualitative Case Study Of Pre-Service Teachers' Experiences In An Introductory Course In Esl Methods And Techniques, Angela Bosche Thevenot
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
There are over 5 million English language learners in the U.S. public schools, and according to the last U.S. Census, nearly one in five school-age students in the United States comes from a home where a language other than English is spoken. Consequently, the majority of American classrooms consist of students from several different racial, ethnic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds. To teach in this environment, teachers need to be culturally aware. Cultural awareness often comes from foreign language study and/or travel abroad. Unfortunately, in many urban environments, pre-service teachers are not required to study foreign language and are not afforded …
Try These: Tackling Representations Of Rugby In Recent South African Texts, Anne Margaret Reef
Try These: Tackling Representations Of Rugby In Recent South African Texts, Anne Margaret Reef
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
Rugby in South Africa has long been an important facet of white, male, and Afrikaner culture. Scholars concur that the sport has been profoundly associated with Afrikaner nationalism and power, and with the violences of the apartheid state. As a corollary, rugby has also been related to and influenced by constructions of apartheid hegemonic masculinity. This study examines representations of rugby in selected texts. Identifying a trope, it argues that in these works, rugby is used as a metonym to relate (in the sense of both "to narrate" and "to connect") other forms of violence in South African society. These …

"That's A Hard Question": Undergraduate Students Talk About Culture, Caitlin N. Montague-Winebarger
"That's A Hard Question": Undergraduate Students Talk About Culture, Caitlin N. Montague-Winebarger
Education
In this project I examine the ability of undergraduate students to articulate a working definition of culture and cross-culture. The students were predominately elementary education majors, enrolled in one of two culture-based elective courses at the University of Alaska Fairbanks during the 2010-2011 school year. Through the use of semi-structured interviewing and participatory/observational autoethnographic fieldwork, I provide several viewpoints from which to look at this complex issue. Through the examination of historical and institutional documents, I show that the School of Education within the University has had a long-standing commitment to teacher education in the Alaskan context, including creating teachers …

Site Formation Processes And Environmental Reconstruction At The Mink Island Archaeological Site (Xmk-030), Katmai National Park And Preserve, Alaska, Alison Dawn Laybolt
Site Formation Processes And Environmental Reconstruction At The Mink Island Archaeological Site (Xmk-030), Katmai National Park And Preserve, Alaska, Alison Dawn Laybolt
Anthropology
This research was initiated to document climate and weather, as reflected in geoarchaeological data, and identify, if possible, any related changes in human behaviors at the Mink Island Site (XMK-030) on the Shelikof Strait, in Katmai National Park, Alaska. The goal was to identify local environmental changes through the analysis of sediment micromorphology, grain-size, and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) observation of sediment grain surface textures, and use the data to determine if local environmental changes were related to periods of human occupation, or associated with local or regional hiatuses. Research indicated that micromorphology, grain-size and SEM analyses are not the …
Losing Ground: An Ethnography Of Vulnerability And Climate Change In Shishmaref, Alaska, Elizabeth K. Marino
Losing Ground: An Ethnography Of Vulnerability And Climate Change In Shishmaref, Alaska, Elizabeth K. Marino
Anthropology
This dissertation presents an ethnography of vulnerability in Shishmaref, Alaska. The village of Shishmaref, population 563, faces imminent threat from increasing erosion and flooding events -- linked to climatic changes and ecological shift -- making the relocation of residents off of the island necessary in the foreseeable future. In spite of ongoing conversations with government agencies since 1974, an organized relocation has yet to occur in Shishmaref. While ecological shift and anthropogenic climate change are no doubt occurring in and around the island, the literature on vulnerability and disaster predicts that social systems contribute at least as much as ecological …
Health And Empires: Implications For Political Development On The Health Of The Inhabitants Of Great Moravia (9th--10th Centuries), Megan Michelle Ellicott
Health And Empires: Implications For Political Development On The Health Of The Inhabitants Of Great Moravia (9th--10th Centuries), Megan Michelle Ellicott
Anthropology
The early medieval period was a time of great change in Europe. Politically thee empires ruled Europe: Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire, the Holy Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire. During this time early cities began to form in Europe, and new patterns of settlement developed. Great Moravia was a state level society in the southeastern region of the Czech Republic during the late 9th and early 10th centuries. This thesis explores the impact of urban development on the health of its inhabitants. In order to do this, rural (Josefov and Lahovice) and urban (Mikulcice-Kostelisko) skeletal populations were examined for cribra orbitalia, …
Reassessing The Wider Genetic Affiliations Of The Timor-Alor-Pantar Languages, Laura C. Robinson, Gary Holton
Reassessing The Wider Genetic Affiliations Of The Timor-Alor-Pantar Languages, Laura C. Robinson, Gary Holton
Alaska Native Language Center Faculty
The wider genealogical affiliations of the Timor-Alor-Pantar languages have been the subject of much speculation. These languages are surrounded by unrelated Austronesian languages, and attempts to locate related languages have focused on Papuan languages 800 km or more distant. In this paper we examine three hypotheses for genealogical relatedness, drawing on both pronominal and especially lexical evidence. We rely in particular on recent reconstructions of proto-Alor-Pantar vocabulary. Of the hypotheses evaluated here, we find the most striking similarities between TAP and the West Bomberai family. However, we conclude that the evidence currently available is insufficient to confirm a genealogical relationship …
Internal Classification Of The Alor-Pantar Language Family Using Computational Methods Applied To The Lexicon, Laura C. Robinson, Gary Holton
Internal Classification Of The Alor-Pantar Language Family Using Computational Methods Applied To The Lexicon, Laura C. Robinson, Gary Holton
Alaska Native Language Center Faculty
The non-Austronesian languages of Alor and Pantar in eastern Indonesia have been shown to be genetically related using the comparative method, but the identified phonological innovations are typologically common and do not delineate neat subgroups. We apply computational methods to recently-collected lexical data and are able to identify subgroups based on the lexicon. Crucially, the lexical data are coded for cognacy based on identified phonological innovations. This methodology can succeed even where phonological innovations themselves fail to identify subgroups, showing that computational methods using lexical data can be a powerful tool supplementing the comparative method.
Highland Hunters: Prehistoric Resource Use In The Yukon-Tanana Uplands, Gerad M. Smith
Highland Hunters: Prehistoric Resource Use In The Yukon-Tanana Uplands, Gerad M. Smith
Anthropology
The purpose of this study was to conduct a first approximation of explorations and excavations throughout the White Mountain and Steese Conservation areas during the summer field seasons of 2010 and 2011 in the Yukon Tanana Uplands. An analysis of the lithic artifacts from five site excavations (the Big Bend, Bachelor Creek, Bear Creek, US Creek and Cripple Creek) was then undertaken. These assemblages were then examined and modeled using risk-assessments, optimal resource use, and behavior processes in order to explore the interdependence of environment, ecology, and material culture that drove prehistoric subsistence cycles in this area. This archaeological research …
Thule Plant And Driftwood Use At Cape Espenberg, Alaska, Laura J. Crawford
Thule Plant And Driftwood Use At Cape Espenberg, Alaska, Laura J. Crawford
Anthropology
This thesis addresses the question of Thule plant and woody fuel use at Cape Espenberg, Alaska between approximately AD 1500 and 1700. The objective of this thesis is to determine how the Thule at Cape Espenberg were using various plant species, including edible plant species and fuelwood species. Few studies have been done on prehistoric Arctic plant use, and so this study intends to add to this nascent but growing field. By examining charcoal and macrofossil remains, this thesis is also intended to discover similarities and differences between the Thule and their modern Inupiat descendants in terms of plant and …
Isotopic Dietary Analysis And Molecular Sex Identification Of Adults And Juveniles From Medieval Great Moravia, Carrin M. Halffman
Isotopic Dietary Analysis And Molecular Sex Identification Of Adults And Juveniles From Medieval Great Moravia, Carrin M. Halffman
2012 Research Day Posters
Like many complex agricultural societies, medieval European society was strongly patriarchal, with men favored in terms of property rights, political status, and household authority. However, it is unclear whether male dominance in medieval society was manifested in unequal access to food resources between the sexes. In this pilot study, we examine the pattern of sex-related differences in diet through biomolecular analyses of skeletal remains from Kostelisko, a suburban area within the early medieval Great Moravian site of Mikulčice. Mikulčice was a prominent center of Great Moravia, an early Slavic state that existed in the 9th and early 10th centuries AD, …

A Cost Surface Analysis Of Obsidian Use In The Wyoming Basin, Usa, David C. Harvey
A Cost Surface Analysis Of Obsidian Use In The Wyoming Basin, Usa, David C. Harvey
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
A trans-Holocene time averaged synthesis of obsidian use in the Wyoming Basin is presented through the analysis of published and unpublished obsidian source provenance reports. A caloric based cost surface model is used to evaluate whether or not ecological factors contributed to the low regional abundance of Yellowstone Plateau obsidian. The results of the cost surface analysis indicate that modeled caloric costs for the use of four key sources varies little across the region and rather than environmental variables, social factors likely structured the regional obsidian record. Least cost paths generated from the cost surface models were compared to regional …
Population Structure And Hybridization Of Alaskan Caribou And Reindeer: Integrating Genetics And Local Knowledge, Karen H. Mager
Population Structure And Hybridization Of Alaskan Caribou And Reindeer: Integrating Genetics And Local Knowledge, Karen H. Mager
Biological Sciences
Alaskan caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) are a valued game species and a key grazer in Alaska's terrestrial ecosystem. Caribou herds, defined by female fidelity to calving grounds, are management units. However, the extent to which herds constitute genetic populations is unknown. Historical fluctuations in herd size, range, and distribution suggest periods of contact and isolation between herds. Likewise, historical contact between caribou and introduced domestic reindeer (R.t. tarandus) created opportunities for hybridization, but its extent is not known. I conducted an interdisciplinary study to understand how historical processes influence genetic identity and population structure of caribou and reindeer. Interviews with …
Volcano Deformation And Subdaily Gps Products, Ronni Grapenthin
Volcano Deformation And Subdaily Gps Products, Ronni Grapenthin
Geosciences
Volcanic unrest is often accompanied by hours to months of deformation of the ground that is measurable with high-precision GPS. Although GPS receivers are capable of near continuous operation, positions are generally estimated for daily intervals, which I use to infer characteristics of a volcano's plumbing system. However, GPS based volcano geodesy will not be useful in early warning scenarios unless positions are estimated at high rates and in real time. Visualization and analysis of dynamic and static deformation during the 2011 Tohokuoki earthquake in Japan motivates the application of high-rate GPS from a GPS seismology perspective. I give examples …
