Celestial Light Marker
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
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
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…

Timescapes in conflict
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
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 …

Landscapes of the Ghost Dance
Confronting the angry rock
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. …

Ghost Dancing the Grand Canyon
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)
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
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…
Direct European Immigrant Transmission of Old World Pathogens to Numic Indians during the Nineteenth Century
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…

The Changing Culture of Resource Management
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
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…
Paitu Nanasuagaindu Pahonupi(Three Sacred Valleys)
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…

Tourism as an Anthropological Subject [and Comments and Reply]
This paper provides a critical evaluationof the growing number of anthropologically oriented studies of tourism and proposes a conceptual framework for future studies. A cross-culturally viable definition of tourism is offered. This definition, which conceives of the tourist as a person at leisure who travels and of tourism as a variety of leisure activity, suggest a transactional view of tourism that involves an encounter between tourist-generat…
Calculating the Cultural Significance of American Indian Plants
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…
Risk Perception Mapping
The concept of a "risk perception shadow" (RPS) has been suggested to describe the geocultural area in which a locally affected population perceives itself to be at risk from a proposed project. Generally such projects involve potentially dangerous substances or activities. The initial conceptualization of an RPS was developed during the social assessment of a proposed Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) in Michigan. This article describes an ef…

Resource Competition and Population Change
This paper is a case analysis of resource competition, population fluctuations, and ethnicity change resulting from Euroamerican intrusion into Kaibab Paiute territory. The various adaptive strategies employed by the Paiute to cope with resource depletion, pressures to relinquish traditional ethnicity patterns, and depopulation are examined. Since the Kaibab Paiute were one of the last Native American peoples to resist Euroamerican expansion, a s…

Who Will Control the Blue Revolution? Economic and Social Feasibility of Caribbean Crab Mariculture
New mariculture technologies that use appropriate technology or rely on the natural productivity of the oceans to supply feed sources for seafood farming in coastal waters are being developed. These technologies may be feasible for small-scale commercial mariculture projects implemented by fishermen-farmers in developing countries. This article presents research data regarding the economic and social feasibility of the adoption of a new maricultu…

Citations, Theories, and Applied Anthropology
It has been said that one reason the Society for Applied Anthropology and the journal Human Organization were established in 1941 was because many professional anthropologists concluded that mainline anthropological did not provide sufficient explanatory and predictive power for anthropologists involved in solving human problems. From such a position it could be argued that Rounds's (1982: 170) conclusion that articles published in Human Organiza…
Reservation-Based Industry
This article is concerned with the process of industrial decentralization as it is illustrated by an electronics factory located on the Zuni Indian reservation. Research conducted during the summer of 1973 indicates the necessity for understanding the cultural demands of a new industrial work force as well as the functional prerequisites of industry. Through direct interviews with the current Zuni and Navajo workers, analysis of industrial person…

Theoretical Uses of Applied Anthropology
Rounds has made a positive contribution to an old question, that is, does applied anthropology contribute to mainstream anthropological theory. He has taken a new tool, Journal Citation Reports (JCR), which is designed to analyze the interactions of selected articles and journals. Based on this tool, Rounds has demonstrated that Human Organization is not cited by selected anthropology journals as often as they are cited by Human Organization. Thi…

Whither the Country Store
Although in many parts of the nation there has been a strong trend toward centralization of institutional services in single centers away from rural areas, churches and country stores have managed to survive in the countryside. The history of country stores in a single Kentucky county is examined in an attempt to explain their survival. It is suggested that the country store is an adaptive economic institution, one which continues to exist becaus…

Afro-American ethnohistory is viewed as an essential aspect of New World ethnohistory. It is important for the understanding of other interacting societies, especially Native American populations in tropical and subtropical lowlands. And it is highly significant in its own right, both in relation to the persistence of people and traditions under great stress, and in regard to Maroon and other emergent societies. Even as much as in the study of Na…
