Resettling Displaced Communities: Applying the International Standard for Involuntary Resettlement
Global trends suggest that the number of people involuntarily displaced will increase exponentially in the coming decades. The authors argue that when the agency, time-tested adaptations, innovative capacities, dignity, and human rights of displaced people are respected as full participants in the rebuilding of their communities, livelihoods and standards of living, resettlement outcomes are more positive. The goal of resettlement must be the sus…

Ghost Dancing the Grand Canyon: Southern Paiute Rock Art, Ceremony, and Cultural Landscapes
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): Traditional Knowledge and the Cultural Significance of Southern Paiute Plants
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…
Cultural Landscapes and Traditional Cultural Properties: A Southern Paiute View of the Grand Canyon and Colorado River
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…

With One Voice: Collective Action in Cultural Impact Assessment
This article documents a program of consultation with American Indians undertaken by the U.S. Department of Energy that resulted in the coalescence of twenty-one autonomous tribes and Indian organizations into a single corporate entity. The group was formed by the tribes and Indian organizations themselves for the purpose of expressing collective concerns and recommendations with respect to the protection of cultural resources. This coalescence o…
Paitu Nanasuagaindu Pahonupi(Three Sacred Valleys): Cultural Significance of Gosiute, Paiute, and Ute Plants
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…

The Reciprocal Development Model for Field Schools
A successful applied anthropology research training program depends on establishing and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships between the three major participants: the university (including students, faculty, and administration); the client (usually an agency in charge of the project proposal and funding); and the host community (local people who would be affected by a development project). The crucial importance of such mutually benefici…

Calculating the Cultural Significance of American Indian Plants: Paiute and Shoshone Ethnobotany at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Ethnobotanical studies are of interest to ethnographers, ethnobotanists, and cultural historians who study the prehistoric, historic, and contemporary contribution of plants to the sociocultural adaptations of American Indian people. A critical research issue is evaluating the differential contribution of plants to American Indian adaptive strategies. This article takes the first quantitative plant evaluation model and combines it with field data…
