  • Celestial Light Marker

    Open AccessRichard W Stoffle, Richard Stoffle et al.ARTICLEArts2025

    Humans have been monitoring light from the solar system to tell the time and plan activities since Time Immemorial. This is an analysis regarding why Native Americans living in the upper Colorado River Basin chose to monitor light from the western sky using a light marker that is approximately 4.02 miles long and 2.07 miles wide, or approximately 12.7 square miles. The light catching is accomplished in a massive geoscape by carefully calibrated a…

  • Celebrating Creation on the Colorado River

    Open AccessKathleen Van Vlack, Richard W Stoffle et al.ARTICLEHeritage2025Referências: 5

    Ancient figures and symbols are carved into a high rock wall beside the Colorado River, just south of where a traditional Native American geotrail crosses the river near Moab, Utah, USA. Based on ethnographic interviews with tribal and pueblo representatives, the rock peckings identify an ancient ceremonial geosite, which, among other purposes, serves as a site for the Celebration of Creation. The interpretation of the site is situated within the…

  • Storied Rocks

    Open AccessRichard W Stoffle, Richard Stoffle et al.ARTICLEArts2024

    Storied Rocks (Tumpituxwinap) is a term of reference used by the Numic speaking tribal elders whom we have worked with for over 60 years on an estimated 200 ethnographic studies. Key to this analysis are the protocols for approaching, interacting, and using the places where Storied Rocks have been located. Concomitant with these traditional protocols are ones established to resolve the curiosity of non-Natives about why they are in a particular p…

    Richard W Stoffle, Richard Stoffle et al.ARTICLEImpact Assessment and Project…2008

    This paper contributes an analog case for assessing cumulative impacts. An American Indian solar calendar was identified in the first large-scale power line environmental impact assessment (EIA) in an isolated region of southern Utah in 1983. That study identified increased access as a potential adverse impact, but that the solar calendar would be best protected by a commitment of silence. During the next 25 years, five utility projects were plac…

  • Resilience at risk

    Richard W Stoffle, Richard Stoffle et al.ARTICLEJournal of Risk Research2008Citada por: 7Referências: 5

    This paper is about the persistent failure of social scientists to bring into the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process socially constructed environmental concerns held by potentially impacted communities. The failure to communicate perceived risks results from a two-communities divide based on both epistemological differences and obfuscation due to vernacular communication. The analysis provides robust modeling variables that can bridge …

    Numic people in the western United States are co-adapted with their traditional lands and these lands are spiritually and physically co-adapted with these people. This relationship has been documented through studies funded by the Department of Energy, Nevada Operations. 1 The u.s. Department of Energy Nevada Operations studies of American Indiacultural impacts from the transportation of Low Level Radioactive Waste were managed by Frank DiSanza. …

    Richard W Stoffle, Lawrence L Loendorf et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology2000Citada por: 17Referências: 59

    Combining rock art studies with ethnohistory, contemporary ethnographic analysis, and the interpretations of people who share the cultural traditions being studied, this paper documents a rock art site in Kanab Creek Canyon that appears to have been the location of a Ghost Dance ceremony performed by Southern Paiute and perhaps Hualapai people in the late 1800s. Using the site as a point of departure, it focuses on the way in which synergistic as…

  • Puchuxwavaats Uapi (To Know About Plants)

    Richard W Stoffle, Richard Stoffle et al.ARTICLEHuman Organization1999

    This paper is about understanding the cultural significance of plants to the Southern Paiute people, who live in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah as members of 12 organized tribes, from both qualitative and quantitative, emic and etic, perspectives. Specifically, the analysis examines patterns of variation in plant cultural significance scores and the factors that account for variations in these patterns. Findings from the analysis, based on…

    Richard W Stoffle, David B Halmo et al.ARTICLEThe American Indian Quarterly1997Citada por: 19Referências: 4

    American Indian people typically want to provide the fullest protection possible for their cultural resources found beyond the bounds of tribal reservations. Federal and state land managers also want to protect cultural resources, thus complying with cultural resource protection laws. Since the mid-1970s, when Indian concerns began to be formally incorporated into cultural studies, there has been a major gap between what Indian people want to pro…

    As the leader ofthe Church ofJesus Christ of Latter Day Saints during that denomination's initial colonization of the Great Basin, Brigham Young had a unique opportunity to observe Mormon effects on the region's Native Americans. Yet, scholars have largely ignored his laconic demographic summary and its many implications. The analysis that follows reconstructs components of the epidemiological patterns Young witnessed. Mormons led by Brigham Youn…

    Inga E Treitler, David Ruppert et al.ARTICLEPracticing Anthropology1994

    President Clinton recently held a conference at the White House with representatives of some 250 of the nation's recognized Indian tribes. The purpose of the meeting was to acknowledge the sovereign status of American Indian governments. Sovereign status of Indian tribes is not a creation of the current administration, but the President's official recognition of this status is an important step toward fulfilling rights and privileges that such st…

  • To Bury the Ancestors

    Richard W Stoffle, Michael J EvansARTICLEPracticing Anthropology1994Citada por: 2

    The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) became law on November 16, 1990. The law addresses the rights of lineal descendants and members of American Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian groups with respect to human remains and cultural items with which they are affiliated. NAGPRA is concerned with the human remains of Native American ancestors, material goods still associated with these bodies, material goods once associat…

    Scientists who analyze American Indian cultures recognize the importance of plants to these peoples. Scientists have recently begun to quantify aspects of American Indian plant use to assess cultural significance. If quantification is to be useful for presenting American Indian concerns, then the model must reflect how they perceive and evaluate plants. This paper discusses a quantitative model for calculating the cultural significance of America…
