Using Soils To Delineate South Dakota Physiographic Regions, Rex R. Johnson, Kenneth F. Higgins, Daniel E. Hubbard
Using Soils To Delineate South Dakota Physiographic Regions, Rex R. Johnson, Kenneth F. Higgins, Daniel E. Hubbard
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Physiographic regions are natural landforms valuable for research and management landscape stratification. Accurate regional delineations may increase research sampling and management effectiveness. Soils data in the us. Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) State Soil Geographic Data Base (STATSGO) were used in a Geographic Information System to delineate 13 South Dakota physiographic regions. Soil mapping units were selected within physiographic regions in the STATSGO coverage in ARC/INFO to delineate geographic features. Several modifications to prior South Dakota physiographic region delineations are proposed. Soils data may be used to provide detailed and objective delineations of natural landforms. A map …
River Protection In Texas: Up A Creek Without A Policy, Michelle S. Pettit, F. Andrew Schoolmaster
River Protection In Texas: Up A Creek Without A Policy, Michelle S. Pettit, F. Andrew Schoolmaster
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Federal river protection in the us. began in 1968 with passage of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (P.L. 90-542). In addition to the federal system, 33 states have enacted some type of state-level river protection legislation. Currently, over 400 river segments and 15,000 river miles are protected by the state programs. Texas, which contains 23 major river basins and over 80,000 linear miles of streambed, has made numerous attempts to establish a state-level protection program; however, each has failed. With a growing population of more than 17.6 million, competition for water resources will intensify, including demands for various …

Review Of This Fragile Land: A Natural History Of The Nebraska Sandhills By Paul A. Johnsgard, Paul G. Risser
Review Of This Fragile Land: A Natural History Of The Nebraska Sandhills By Paul A. Johnsgard, Paul G. Risser
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Books like this are rarely written. Today, most writings about natural features and charismatic landscapes tend to be of two types: those with subjective, generalized descriptions written for the layperson, or technical articles with great detail but little in the way of human emotion. This book, written by a professor who spent fifteen summers in the Nebraska Sandhills, presents sufficient technical detail to satisfy the professional, but at the same time conveys the images and emotions of the Sandhills plants, animals, and people.
About 50,000 square kilometers-one-fourth of Nebraska-are covered by the Sandhills, making this the largest area of sand …
Review Of Restoring Prairie Wetlands: An Ecological Approach By Susan M. Galatowitsch And Arnold G. Van Der Valko, John Ortmann, James L. Stubbendieck
Review Of Restoring Prairie Wetlands: An Ecological Approach By Susan M. Galatowitsch And Arnold G. Van Der Valko, John Ortmann, James L. Stubbendieck
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
For reasons of national policy, environmental need, and funding availability, wetlands have become one of the most active areas for ecological restoration. But, as this timely and useful book points out, such projects too often have consisted of plugging the drain tile or ditch and letting nature do the rest. This approach has resulted in failure more often than recognized. Failure is obvious when a restored "wetland" remains dry because the regional water table has dropped, more subtle when natural plant communities fail to regenerate spontaneously, or nearly invisible when predation exceeds waterfowl production. Lack of planning and basic understanding …
Review Of Braid Of Feathers: American Indian Law And Contemporary Tribal Life By Frank Pommersheim, Erin Hogan Fouberg
Review Of Braid Of Feathers: American Indian Law And Contemporary Tribal Life By Frank Pommersheim, Erin Hogan Fouberg
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The goal of Indian termination policy in the 1950s was to eliminate the reservations and thus eradicate the "Indian problem." Frank Pommersheim, professor of law at the University of South Dakota and member of the appellate court for the Cheyenne River and Rosebud Sioux tribes, convincingly argues that eliminating reservations would be disastrous for Indian tribes in the west. The establishment of reservations guaranteed tribes a measured separatism; today, they are the only places where tribes and their cultures are likely to survive. The author examines the portions ofthe United States legally designated Indian country and finds that Indian land …
Review Of Indian Water In The New West By Thomas R. Mcguire, William B. Lord, And Mary G. Wallace, Otis W. Templer
Review Of Indian Water In The New West By Thomas R. Mcguire, William B. Lord, And Mary G. Wallace, Otis W. Templer
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This collection of essays on Indian water rights results from a symposium, Indian Water Rights and Water Resources Management, sponsored by the American Water Resources Association and the Northern Lights Research and Education Institute. Held at Missoula, Montana in June, 1989, the symposium was co-sponsored by a number of federal and state agencies and universities. Included among participants were lawyers, engineers, economists, ecologists, anthropologists, mediators, federal officials, and Native Americans who collectively represented a broad range of scholarly and applied expertise and viewpoints. This book is not a collection of papers by academics on the history and development of Indian …
Review Of Aboriginal Peoples In Urban Centres: Report Of The National Round Table On Aboriginal Urban Issues By Royal Commission On Aboriginal Peoples, Russel Lawrence Barsh
Review Of Aboriginal Peoples In Urban Centres: Report Of The National Round Table On Aboriginal Urban Issues By Royal Commission On Aboriginal Peoples, Russel Lawrence Barsh
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Months after Canada's most violent modern-day confrontation with Aboriginal peoples, the month-long standoff between Mohawk "Warriors" and Canadian troops at Kahnesatake, Quebec, in August 1990, the Conservative Government of Brian Mulroney announced the appointment of a Royal Commission to make recommendations for the complete overhaul of Aboriginal policy. Five years, hundreds of hearings and academic studies, and $C60 million later, the Royal Commission has yet to make its report. Jean Chretien's Liberal Government has already announced that it has its own program for Aboriginal "self-government," hinting that the long-awaited Royal Commission findings will be dead-on-arrival. The corpse will not be …
Review Of Lakota And Cheyenne: Indian Views Of The Great Sioux War, 1876-1877 By Jerome A. Greene, William Bridges
Review Of Lakota And Cheyenne: Indian Views Of The Great Sioux War, 1876-1877 By Jerome A. Greene, William Bridges
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
In 1874 and 1875, whites, lured by the discovery of gold in the Black Hills, poured into the northern Plains and encountered the indigenous Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne Indians. The Great Sioux War of 1876-1877, remembered by most Americans for Custer's Last Stand in June 1876, sprang from this contact. While Custer and over two hundred of his men lost their lives at the Battle of Little Big Horn, the Cheyenne and Sioux lost far more. By shattering the largest unified resistance to white incursions into Indian territory, the Great Sioux War went a long way to assuring whites supremacy …
Review Of Apache Mothers And Daughters: Four Generations Of A Family By Ruth Mcdonald Boyer And Narcissus Duffy Gayton, Beth Ritter
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Apache Mothers and Daughters is the narrative saga of four generations of Chiricahua Apache mothers and daughters. Against a poignant background of Chiricahua raiding and warfare, imprisonment, relocation, reservation confinement, and forced acculturation, this intensely personal history of four remarkable women's lives unfolds. The book's strength lies in its masterful weaving of solid ethnohistoric research with the oral history provided by Narcissus Duffy Gayton (and other informants) about herself, her mother Christine Kozine, her grandmother Beshad-e, and her great grandmother Dilth-cleyhen.
Review Of Skeletal Biology In The Great Plains: Migration, Warfare, Health And Subsistence By Douglas W. Owsley And Richard L. Jantz, Luann Wandsnider
Review Of Skeletal Biology In The Great Plains: Migration, Warfare, Health And Subsistence By Douglas W. Owsley And Richard L. Jantz, Luann Wandsnider
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This volume reports the results of studies on skeletal remains throughout the Great Plains from early to recent times. Skeletons from the W. H. Over Museum Collection in South Dakota, excavated by Over, William Bass, and W. R. Hurt, form the volume's analytic core, with other collections providing necessary context. Portions of the Over skeletal collection have been reported on previously. When the collection was mandated for reburial in 1985, however, Owsley and Jantz arranged for comprehensive osteological analysis by numerous specialists, resulting in this volume.
Thirty-two chapters by 39 authors are offered on the topics of Great Plains disease …
Review Of Accidental Archaeologist: Memoirs Of Jesse D. Jennings By Jesse D. Jennings, Ralph J. Hartley
Review Of Accidental Archaeologist: Memoirs Of Jesse D. Jennings By Jesse D. Jennings, Ralph J. Hartley
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The history of twentieth-century archaeology as told by its early practitioners is finding an appreciative audience in a generation of anthropological archaeologists that has matured under the regulatory eye of federal environmental protective legislation. This book is the story of the life of one of the discipline's foremost practitioners. Although autobiographical in its organization, many of the book's chapters can be read as stand-alone accounts of Jesse Jennings's reflections on conducting archaeological investigations in the southeast, Plains, and desert west of North America, as well as in Polynesia and Guatemala.
A man who considers himself to have been "a minority …
Grasslands: An Introduction, Kathleen H. Keeler
Grasslands: An Introduction, Kathleen H. Keeler
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
"Grasslands" was the subject of the seventeenth annual symposium of the Center for Great Plains Studies, held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, in April 1994. Grasslands are so basic to the Great Plains experience as to be invisible. If you stand here in eastern Nebraska, it is so far in any direction across grasslands to any other landscape (a cornfield is a planted grassland, after all) that the role of grasslands in our lives does not seem worth considering. Local variation is much more visible. You can't see the prairie for the grasses, to adapt the idiom. And yet, grasslands …
Review Of Federal Land, Western Anger: The Sagebrush Rebellion And Environmental Politics By R. Mcgreggor Cawley, Francis Moul
Review Of Federal Land, Western Anger: The Sagebrush Rebellion And Environmental Politics By R. Mcgreggor Cawley, Francis Moul
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The public policy issue this book explores is a continuing one, especially after the Republican take-over of Congress in 1994. In a sense, then, this study of the Sagebrush Rebellion of the 1970s and 1980s is incomplete. It seems clear that the issue, governmental control and use of the public lands of twelve western states, will change-perhaps radically.
Yet, the book is an important study of a highly volatile public issue in the West, and gives us an understanding of its dimensions no matter what turn policy or public indignation will take. A crucial part of that understanding is the …
Review Of Flooding The Courtrooms: Law And Water In The Far West By M. Catherine Miller, Linda S. Parker
Review Of Flooding The Courtrooms: Law And Water In The Far West By M. Catherine Miller, Linda S. Parker
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The arid but fertile San Joaquin Valley yielded fortunes for whoever owned the water that trickled down from the neighboring Sierra Nevada Mountains. Landowners avidly brought lawsuits seeking rulings that would favorably define stream flows, property boundaries, and economic uses of water. Oddly, California courts followed the legal doctrine of the eastern rather than neighboring western states, upholding the "riparian" claims of those who owned land bordering a river rather than "prior appropriators" who discovered and first used the water. Riparian law laid the foundation for the enormous cattle company, Miller and Lux. During its heyday between 1870 and 1930 …
Review Of Forgotten Places: Uneven Development In Rural America Edited By Thomas A. Lyson And William W. Falk, Karen M. Morin
Review Of Forgotten Places: Uneven Development In Rural America Edited By Thomas A. Lyson And William W. Falk, Karen M. Morin
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The editors and authors of this fine collection of articles, though mostly sociologists, demonstrate how geography is in a sense destiny to the rural poor. By focusing on nine regions spanning the country from New England to the Rio Grande Valley to the Pacific Northwest, they show how social as well as spatial isolation has created common problems among a rural underclass that is "forgotten" by mainstream America.
Socio-spatial isolation may take many forms, but the outcome for all the places studied is the same: lack of full participation in American economic life. Educational isolation in the Black Belt of …
Water Regulation Decisions In Central Kansas Affecting Cheyenne Bottoms Wetland And Neighboring Farmers, Leslie Aileen Duram
Water Regulation Decisions In Central Kansas Affecting Cheyenne Bottoms Wetland And Neighboring Farmers, Leslie Aileen Duram
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
A water use regulation order by the Chief Engineer of the Division of Water Resources of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture addressed a controversial issue: water allocation for agricultural, wetland, and urban users in Central Kansas. The specific study area includes Cheyenne Bottoms Wetland, a preserve with important habitat conditions for many migratory bird species. This region is economically dependent on irrigated agriculture. Groundwater withdrawal for irrigation had caused the water table to decline and left the wetland with no consistent water source. The Chief Engineer required many farmers to reduce their irrigation water use. An evaluation of this …
Northern Great Plains Manufacturers: Assistance Needs And Potential Economic Contributions, F. Larry Leistritz
Northern Great Plains Manufacturers: Assistance Needs And Potential Economic Contributions, F. Larry Leistritz
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The past decade has been a period of turmoil for the manufacturing sector in both the US. and Canada, and rural manufacturing firms in both countries have been subjected to substantial competitive pressures. The purpose of this study was to identify the firms that comprise the manufacturing sector in North Dakota and in the Provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and to identify their needs in order to increase economic activity in the region. Data came from a survey of 333 firms conducted in 1991. Overall, the findings indicate that the firms comprising the manufacturing sector in Manitoba and Saskatchewan are …
Changing Employment Patterns On The Northern And Central Great Plains, Richard E. Lonsdale, J. Clark Archer
Changing Employment Patterns On The Northern And Central Great Plains, Richard E. Lonsdale, J. Clark Archer
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The Great Plains are sometimes characterized as an economically lagging region. To shed some light on the region’s prospects, the locational and structural changes in employment patterns in the northern and central Great Plains were examined for the 1980 to 1990 period. County-level data were drawn from CD-ROM census publications and matched with locational references using Atlas *GIS . Shift-share computations were undertaken for the region as a whole and for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties. Employment declined sharply in agriculture and construction, but increased in the service sectors. Compared with the nation as a whole, the region competed poorly in …
The Nutritional Impacts Of European Contact On The Omaha: A Continuing Legacy, Christiana Miewald
The Nutritional Impacts Of European Contact On The Omaha: A Continuing Legacy, Christiana Miewald
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
For the majority of Native American tribes on the Great Plains, contact with Euro-Americans resulted in a number of changes in their lifeways. For the Omaha tribe, the introduction of both the horse and firearms meant a diversification in nutritional strategies and a florescence in their culture. After being confined to their reservation in 1855, the Omaha continued to remain largely self-sufficient in food production. During the early years of the reservation until the turn of the century, the Omaha were highly successful farmers, producing surpluses of cash• and garden variety crops. In this paper I argue that today the …
Drought Evolution Patterns In The U.S.A. During Great Plains-Centered Droughts, Peter T. Soule
Drought Evolution Patterns In The U.S.A. During Great Plains-Centered Droughts, Peter T. Soule
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This study examines the spatial evolution of drought severity within the contiguous United States during the first six months of average Great Plains-centered drought events. It identifies Great Plains-centered drought events from 1895-1989 based on the drought history of the North Central, South Dakota and Low Rolling Plains, Texas climatic divisions. Time series of warm- and cold-season average drought severity based on Great Plains drought for all United States' climatic divisions are calculated and spatially analyzed.
Mapped patterns show spatial teleconnections in drought development. Cold-season drought patterns based on the North Central, South Dakota climatic division are clearly in-phase with …

Hydroclimatic Perspectives On Waterfowl Production In The North Dakota Prairie Pothole Region, Paul Todhunter
Hydroclimatic Perspectives On Waterfowl Production In The North Dakota Prairie Pothole Region, Paul Todhunter
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The North Dakota Prairie Pothole Region is one of the most unique and important wetland environments for waterfowl in North America. A water balance climatology is developed for this region for the period 1895-1990. A monthly water balance time series for the 96-year period was computed utilizing the Thornthwaite water balance methodology and a regional time series developed from area-weighted National Climate Data Center divisional data. Results illustrate the unique seasonal dynamics of the mean soil moisture regime, the frequency distribution of selected water balance variables over the period of record, and the large intra-annual and interannual variability which characterizes …

Review Of The Metropolitan Frontier: Cities In The Modern Americanwest By Carl Abbott, Eugene P. Moehring
Review Of The Metropolitan Frontier: Cities In The Modern Americanwest By Carl Abbott, Eugene P. Moehring
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Carl Abbott enhances his reputation for excellence with this interpretive survey of the modern western city. He begins with World War II when heavy federal spending revitalized urban areas stagnating from twenty years of farm-mine depression. Abbott highlights the findings of Gerald Nash, Greg Hise and others while injecting his own scholarly insights at strategic points, a pattern that continues throughout the book. For example, he expands upon D. W. Meinig's concept of imperial Texas by extending Dallas-Fort Worth's range of influence far up into the Wyoming oil country. Then, building upon his own recently published work, Abbott develops further …

Lost Harvests: Prairie Indian Reserve Farmers And Government Policy, Todd Kerstetter
Lost Harvests: Prairie Indian Reserve Farmers And Government Policy, Todd Kerstetter
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Until recently, prevailing wisdom in academic circles held that nomadic, buffalo hunting tribes on the Great Plains resisted all efforts to make them farmers. According to the old school, sedentary, regimented agricultural life on a reservation violated these noble hunters' culture. Sarah Carter says that the old school was dead wrong. Carter, a Canada Research Fellow with the Department of History and Rupert's Land Research Centre at the University of Winnipeg, argues that during the last quarter of the nineteenth century Indians in Canada's prairie provinces stood ready and willing to adopt an agricultural lifestyle. The Canadian government, however, despite …
