Unfair Labor? American Indians and the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago
Unfair Labor by David R. M. Beck, is an innovative examination of a landmark international gathering in the twilight of the nineteenth century and its impact upon diverse Native American groups and individuals who ventured there to work in its exhibitions, midway displays, and unsponsored off-site attractions. The 1893 exposition coincided with a demographic and economic nadir for American Indians. Preceding decades witnessed the destruction of t…

Ethnoarchaeological Collaborations
While working together on ethnoarchaeology projects, we continued to pursue our separate interests in ethnology and archaeology. However, these pursuits often influenced our thinking about and appr

Encuesta multidisciplinaria en Curré
El objetivo del informe que presentamos a continuación tiene como finalidad dar a conocer los resultados preliminares obtenidos por un equipo de antropólogos, con base en una serie de encuestas en el pueblo indígena de Curré, cantón de Buenos Aires, Costa Rica. Los investigadores se enfocaron en una serie de temas socioculturales; tales como los encontrados en este pueblo indígena: organización social, recursos económicos, lenguajes, revitalizaci…
Cuisiner en bordure de la piste
Dans le sillage des récents changements politico-économiques dans le nord du Canada, des équipes mobiles de chasseurs-trappeurs et pêcheurs chipewyans (Dene) subissent de nos jours de longues périodes d'isolement, loin des villages où vivent et travaillent les autres membres de leurs familles. Dans ce contexte, les hommes chipewyans sont confrontés à un dilemme structurel. Ils doivent choisir entre reproduire, abandonner ou modifier les savoir-fa…
Fun with Dick and Jane
Recent comparative ethnoarchaeological study of hunter-fisher and hunter-fisher-herder societies in the circumpolar world reveals interesting variation in the proportions of women's, men's and joint gear comprising toolkits employed in harvesting, processing, storage and distribution of major subsistence resources. In sheer numbers, women's tools and facilities overshadow those implements conventionally used by men and those used jointly by both …
Diets of Experience
Historical patterns of land use and subsistence in circumpolar communities often coexist in complex and novel ways with rapidly emerging wage labor markets and global political economic forces. The integration of traditional environmental knowledge and practice into contemporary contexts, as manifested in food culture, is explored as both a routine behavioral reality and a profound symbolic process. This paper examines the creative role of histor…

Revisiting the Sexual Division of Labor
In gauging the impact of Susan Kent's scholarship, we examine how a controlled ethnoarchaeological comparison of gender and subsistence in circumpolar societies may be used to reassess a bedrock concept of anthropology: the sexual division of labor. Much discourse on this topic is marred by an exclusionary tone. That is, the sexual division of labor is presented as a list of things women cannot do, should not do, or are prohibited from doing by m…
Silot'ine
Fundamental patterns in residential groupings, marriage, kinship networks, and alliances are examined for Dene, or Chipewyan, Indian families who occupied winter staging and outpost communities during the 1920s to 1950s, the last decades that seasonal family nomadism and fur hunting were integrally linked as part of a bush economy in central subarctic Canada. Continuities and changes in these patterns are followed into the 1960s to 1990s, an era …

Northern Athabascan Survival
Collective Witnessing
Rural American estate auctions represent a compelling interplay of market capitalism and local ceremonies of entrepreneurship. Auctions operate to move used goods, converting them into commodities. Yet they also "move" people, emotionally and dramaturgically, via socially constructed ceremonies in which knowledgeable specialists transform commodities into valuables and, in turn, invest the circulation of these valuables with profound personal, hi…

Ethnoarchaeology of Subsistence Space and Gender
The interplay of gender and spatial organization of labor receives little attention in archaeological discussions of huntergatherer society. To help remedy this situation, our ethnoarchaeological research among subarctic Dene (Chipewyan) communities employs a gender-resource mapping approach, including the spatial dimension of hunting for a complex of major subsistence resources. Analysis reveals both profound differences and interconnections bet…

Archeologist-Ethnographer-Informant Relations
An ethnoarcheological investigation in the Canadian subarctic is used to evaluate the role of native informant-field assistants (Chipewyan, Cree, Metis) in the research process. While many informants provide insightful reflections on the recent historical past, "on-site" informant-assistants offer the most meaningful contributions. The latter help locate archeological residues, accompany researchers to sites during survey and/of excavation, ident…

Socio-Spatial Organization and Decision-Making Processes
This article is broadly concerned with the spatial or locational principles governing hunter-gatherer society. Toward this end, the settlement-community hierarchy of the southern Chipewyan Indians is interpreted as a framework for resolving the conflicting advantages and disadvantages of nucleation and dispersion, for regulating information flow, and for maintaining organizational flexibility and options in decision making. Recent ethnoarcheologi…
The political economy and political ethnicity of American Indian adaptations and identities
Revisionist Anthropology
Anthropological discussions of North American Indians and archaeological interpretation of North American prehistory tend to be distorted by biases, some the "cant of conquest," others derived from the structuring principles of the European tradition. Tripartite schemata such as the Three-Age model and premises of oppositional dualism such as the contrast between primitive and civilized should be assumed to come from these structuring principles …

Intergroup Behavior and Imagery
The social anthropological literature on marriage, trade, and political alliance contains ample documentation of the varied manner in which co-operative interactions between societies or ethnic groups reinforce cultural differences. Barth's (1969:15-19) notion of the complementarity of cultural differences among interacting groups is an attempt to model such systems of interdependence, and it is a concept with somewhat paradoxical implications fo…

The Transformation of Bigfoot
Unfamiliar compatriots
This article examines the special biases, social ambiguities and methodological problems characterizing ethnographic research among fieldworkers with cultural orientations vaguely or partially congruent with their hosts. Information for this discussion derives from a recent field study of agrarian adaptations in northeastern Finland conducted by an anthropologist of third-generation immigrant Finnish-American background. This context is used to a…

Recent Ethnographic Research - Upper Churchill River Drainage, Saskatchewan, Canada
Recent developments in ethnographic research in the Upper Churchill River drainage of northwestern Saskatchewan are reviewed. These include an analysis of the spatial organization of trapping economics, and an examination of behavioral responses to current technological impact (particularly housing, imported food and machinery, and new roads) in a southern Chipewyan community. Although high-income trappers generally exploit the largest trapping a…

Ethnoarchaeological Perspectives on an Athapaskan Moose Kill
A recent development in anthropology involves examination of living human populations in an attempt to better understand the "formation processes" that create archaeological remains. An ethnologist and an archaeologist collaborated in the observation and analysis of procurement, butchering and distribution of moose among a group of contemporary Athapaskan (Chipewyan) Indians in northwestern Saskatchewan in 1977. Subtleties in the behavior of one …
