The Plainview Bone Bed – New Insights from an Old Collection
Plainview is a Paleoindian bison kill on the Southern High Plains (USA). This study examines whether the Plainview bison represent a chronologic marker, tests three models regarding the season of kill(s), and explores site size and number of kill events. Size difference in early Holocene southern grasslands bison is a matter of biogeographic variation of the same species rather than reflecting a time difference. None of the three models adequatel…
What does it Mean to be an Ally (Part II)
This paper is from a panel presentation at the 11th International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry. The panel was titled “Indigenous Methodologies and the Construction of New Critical Qualitative Inquiry.” I have endeavoured to keep the paper as close to how it was presented at the panel using the same question and answer format. The paper questions non-Indigenous researchers taking up Indigenous methodologies and what the role of an ally might be
A story of identity
This is a personal narrative drawing upon the multi-dimensionality of narrative and storytelling to make sense of lived-experience. The article is an experience that deals with Indigenous Identity fraud in the academy in the moment of Reconciliation with Indigenous People and the people of Canada. It is a story of White settler claims to being Indigenous so as to reposition themselves within university discourse of Indigenisation. The narrative w…
The erosion of play
This paper argues children’s play is being eroded across four distinct areas: commercial media; fear and safety concerns; school curriculum and policy; and ideology. Drawing upon research evidence, theory and practice, the assertion is explored and supported to argue the significant consequences of play, its absence, manipulation and erosion. The argument demonstrates the difficulty of escaping ‘the rhetorics of play’ as articulated by Sutton-Smi…
Storying Treaties and the Treaty Relationship
This paper represents preliminary findings of a collaborative educational research endeavour to take seriously calls for reconciliation with Aboriginal people within a Canadian context of ongoing colonialism. More specifically, the research takes place in the province of Saskatchewan, where treaty education is mandatory in K–12 classrooms. In this context, critical race theory is used as our theoretical foundation. Working with elementary student…
Initiating a New Story
In May 2011, at the seventh annual gathering of the Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (QI), Norman Denzin organized two town hall meetings for anyone interested in exploring the idea of creating an Indigenous Qualitative Inquiry preconference day. In this article, we share the story of a small group that met to imagine into being the first Indigenous Qualitative Inquiry preconference day at the Eighth QI Congress in May 2012. We share the call that…
Storytelling as Research/Research as Storytelling
If story is central to human meaning why, in the research world, is there not more storytelling? Walter Benjamin (1973) noted that, "a story is different. It does not expend itself. It preserves and concentrates its strength and is capable of releasing it even after a long time" (p. 90). How might research not expend itself, but preserve and concentrate its strength

Faunal assemblage composition and paleoenvironment of Plovers Lake, a Middle Stone Age locality in Gauteng Province, South Africa
A Morphometric Approach to Assessing Late Paleoindian Projectile Point Variability on the Southern High Plains
Late Paleoindian typology on the southern High Plains has suffered from overlapping definitions and subjectivity in assigning individual projectile points to types. To address perceived projectile point variability in the region, assemblages from several localities on the southern High Plains are examined for statistical differences in shape. Digital photographs of projectile points are used to digitize point outlines. Landmark coordinate data th…
Sexing Bison Metapodials Using Principal Component Analysis
Bison remains are a common and important component of many North American archaeological and paleontological sites. Interpretations of bison remains, however, often are hampered by the inability to determine sex reliably in this dimorphic taxon. Metapodials are among the most common bison element recovered in archaeological assemblages, but have proven difficult to sex. The methods currently in use to estimate sex range from those using only biva…
Willow's Way
Adolescence has long been viewed as a time of difficulties at best and turmoil and crisis at worst; however, many researchers, psychologists, and youth workers suggest that the evidence does not support this general, albeit persistent, perception. Nevertheless, many adolescents do have difficulties, turmoil, crises, and a whole plethora of other disruptive experiences during this period of development. This is one story about an adolescent girl a…
