Abstract: Thirty-two male and female adolescents of native ancestry (Ojibwa)
and 32 controls were tested using (1) four WISC-R subtests and (2) two dichotic
listening tasks which employed a focused-attention paradigm for processing
consonant-vowel combinations (CVs) and musical melodies. On the WISC-R, natives
scored higher than controls on Block Design and Picture Completion subtests but
lower on Vocabulary and Similarities subtests. On laterality measures more
native males showed a left ear advantage on the CV task and the melody task.
For CVs the left ear advantage was due to native males' lower right ear (i.e.,
left hemisphere) involvement. For melodies, the laterality index pointed to
less left hemisphere involvement for native males, however, the raw scores
showed that natives were performing lower overall. The findings are consistent
with culturally-based strategy differences, possibly linked to
'hemisphericity,' but additional clarifying research regarding the cause and
extent of such differences is warranted. Thus, implications for education are
premature but a focus on teaching 'left hemisphere type' strategies to all
individuals not utilizing such skills, including many native males, may prove
beneficial. (Abstract by: Author)

Abstract: Professor Cleland has undertaken the Herculean task of transforming
the technical academic jargon concerning Native American history in the upper
Great Lakes, as recorded by anthropologists and physical scientists, into
understandable and appealing prose for the general reader. This is a formidable
problem that the author has handled smoothly when discussing ethnological and
ethnohistorical topics. However, when explaining familial and kin relations,
his manuscript is somewhat technical. It is a subject that the author
approaches with an honest attempt at refraining from the use of anthropological
terminology but in the end is forced to rely on technical linguistic terms,
simply because there are no alternatives for explaining such relationships.
Mr. Cleland has incorporated a geographic model wherein the state of Michigan
serves as the focal point for his ethnohistories of various Native American
peoples that have resided in the Upper Great Lakes. The author examines the
pre-Columbian and post-contact periods but concentrates on explaining
eighteenth and nineteenth century developments. The political state of Michigan
(which was created in has, in the author's opinion, "had an increasingly
important role in the course of the history of its native people"(p. v);
however, in this book it does not limit the scope of the manuscript, it merely
offers a point of reference - a beginning place that the reader can identify.
Furthermore, he has effectively discussed Native peoples' north/ south divisions
and differences that define, in part, the ethnic identifications of those
groups as Ojibwa, Potawatomi, Ottawa, Menominee, and Miami. Even though members
of these "tribes", a term the author tends to question, lived in both
the northern forests and the more southern plains, the author argues that
subtle differences emerged over time between the residents of the two
environments.
The northern bands acquired the majority of their food from fishing and
hunting. Historical observers, the author points out, often were puzzled by the
insistence of Ojibwas and other northern bands that their livelihood was
hunting when, in fact, it seems the bulk of their food supply came from
fishing. The superior status of hunting is evident, Cleland writes, because, to
the Ojibwa "there are no magical songs for catching fish and even their
word for whitefish ... is Atikameg, a variant of the word caribou, Atik. Even
as the Ojibwa fish, they hunt" (p. 45).
Due to the poor growing conditions in the northern forest it appears that some
villages moved onto the wide flood plains near large rivers and streams and
cultivated a variety of crops. For this reason, Cleland contends the southern
tribes were farmers. Corn, beans, and squash provided a more stable food
supply, that was also supplemented by hunting. Still, the author points out
that southern and northern villages remained about the same in size - about
seventy-five to one hundred fifty residents.
The author has, from the onset of the manuscript, attempted to keep the
discussion of Indian peoples' beliefs, customs and values free of white
Anglo-Saxon biases. He has gone to great extremes to tell the story from the
perspective of the "losers of history" - the Indians. This point of
view is clearly present within the bulk of the book but particularly in its
descriptions of events and the characters involved in the post-contact era. Mr.
Cleland has accumulated extensive information about contemporary Native
Americans who live in Michigan and under what conditions they are attempting to
maintain their cultural identity - in an openly hostile environment.
Rites of Conquest examines Michigan's Native peoples collective history and
describes their story by citing the past as seen from an Indian peoples'
perspective. Ron Paquin and Robert Doherty in Not First In Nobody's Heart
describe a contemporary Indian's life - that of a Chippewa man - to serve as an
example of a people's history in the modern age. Ron Paquin has suffered from
all the worst problems associated with Native Americans living in poverty on
the edge of society: broken families, abusive parents, alcoholism, poor
education, unsanitary conditions, lack of job skills, and a poor diet. Ron's
story is a microcosmic reflection of the plight his people face in modern
American culture.
As the story unfolds Ron is living in a filthy, unkempt cabin where his abusive
parents are unable and unwilling to provide the one element a child needs to
develop normally-love. All that is terrible and disgusting in life the author
lives through and accepts as normal for he has known nothing else. The living
conditions were so miserable that Ron, like other poor kids with no future,
turned to crime and eventually was caught.
Reform school to prison were stepping stones that the author passed over along
his path to discovery; a journey that culminated in being Chippewa and proud of
a heritage that most of his life he never understood nor even acknowledged.
Like many contemporary Native Americans, Ron's story is mired in squalor, pain,
poverty, and coping with an openly hostile white society. Ron found happiness
and the love he so desperately desired in his Indian wife and their family. Not
only did he find satisfaction in a being a father and husband but also in
discovering his Indian culture.
Even though this is not a story with the perfect ending where everyone is
happily Jogging down the path of life-there are positive elements. Finding a
life away from the underside of society was clearly satisfying to Ron. However,
it also is evident that part of the reason he has progressed "out of the
depths of despair" can be attributed to discovering his past - his Indian
past. Although short lived, it seems that Ron Paquin's happiest moments were
when he was building traditional Chippewa projects for the St. Ignace museum.
This connection was severed when certain "Indian experts" brought
large scale funding to the work and pushed the Indians out of the way. Ron and
his life, therefore, can be seen as one more in a series of cases where white
society overwhelms and destroys an individual in an effort to preserve that
person's culture. This text is excellent for contemporary sociology or
introductory cultural anthropology students since it is written from a first
person perspective. As for Its use in a historical study, it is more
appropriate as a suggested reading rather than a required text.

environmental assessment in Canada's north. Unpublished doctoral
dissertation, University of Waterloo (Canada).
Abstract: The combination of important political changes, the economic
development of renewable and non-renewable resources, social and cultural
change and ecological impacts has created a dynamic and uncertain context for
environmental decision-making in Canada's north. To be effective in such a
context, this thesis argues, organizations and institutions must be flexible
and responsive to these forces of change; i.e. they must be adaptive. The case
studies include the Federal Environmental Assessment and Review Process (EARP),
the Kativik Environmental Quality Commission (KEQC), the Environmental
Screening and Review Process in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, the proposed
Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB), the proposed Dene/Metis Environmental
Impact Review Board and the proposed Environmental Assessment and Review Process
for the Government of the Northwest Territories. The thesis recommends that
more attention be devoted to the imperative of institutional and organizational
adaptiveness by actors currently involved in northern environmental assessment
and by designers of future processes. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

M.-A. l. (1994). The relationship between self-esteem and the variables of
cooperativeness and competition within the Aboriginal culture (Manitoba).
Unpublished doctoral dissertation, The University of Southern Mississippi.
Abstract: The relationship between self-esteem and the variables of
competitiveness and cooperativeness within an Aboriginal culture and whether
this relationship differed according to the variables of gender, age, and enculturation
was determined in this study. The sample consisted of a random selection of 108
Aboriginal students, 47 males and 61 females, drawn from grades 10 to 12, at a
collegiate in Northern Manitoba. There were 57 Status, 6 non-Status, and 45
Metis and the students ranged in age from 14 to 24 years. These subjects were
administered Form A of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory and The Aboriginal
Enculturation/Competitive/Cooperative Instrument. Four clear dimensions were
found to describe Enculturation, Competition, Coopersmith SEI, and Cooperation.
Both, Total Cooperation and Cooperation-Modesty, loaded highly on the
Enculturation dimension. Cooperation is a dominant and influential aspect of
the Aboriginal culture. Competition-Teamwork loaded highly on the Cooperation
factor, leading to the conclusion that Cooperation and Competition are not on
opposite ends of a continuum, but rather are entwined. Cooperation Control
loaded negatively on the Coopersmith SEI factor, suggesting that the SEI as an
instrument for measuring the Self-Esteem of Aboriginal people may not be valid.
Furthermore, the low Goodness of Fit Index that was obtained in performing the
Confirmatory Analysis of the SEI also supports this conclusion. Significant
differences were found for three of six hypotheses. Age had a minimal
relationship with both cooperation and enculturation. The variable of
cooperation related negatively with SEI Total and with General Self. The
variables of enculturation and competition were found to be negatively
correlated, while the variables of enculturation and cooperation were
positively related. As cooperation is such a great part of the Aboriginal
enculturation, this would seem to have a deleterious effect on the self-esteem
score, because the SEI portrayed a tendency to decrease as cooperation
increased.

L. E. (1996). Economy, race and gender along the Fox-Wisconsin and Rock
riverways, 1737-1832 (Iowa, OntarioO. Unpublished doctoral dissertation,
Northern Illinois University.
Abstract: This dissertation examines a northern borderland region's economy
during the gradual transition from Indian to white hegemony, evaluating the
impact of race, ethnicity, and gender on economic practice, and vice versa. The
focus is on the area from Green Bay, Wisconsin, along the Fox and Wisconsin
Rivers, to Prairie du Chien on the Mississippi River, including the region
south to the Rock River and a small section of present-day Iowa around Dubuque.
During the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, these river systems
constituted a crucial link between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River;
their banks were populated with Indian and multi-racial communities, including
fur trade centers and lead mining areas where Indian women, and later white and
black men, dug for ore. The study describes the regional economy as it evolved
over the century between the Fox Wars and the Black Hawk War (1737-1832). It
examines the sexual division of labor, and the external trade relations of the
Indian villages--especially those of the Winnebagos, Sauks, and Mesquakies
(also known as Fox Indians)--and compares them to communities of Euro-Americans
and of multi-racial families, such as Prairie du Chien and Green Bay. Exchange
within and between local economies as well as regional and international markets
is emphasized. This research explores villagers' participation in agricultural
production and the fur trade and compares Indian, Metis, and Euro-American lead
mining, domestic economy, and other types of production, such as maple sugar
making. It examines adaptations and continuities in gender roles as regional
and local economies persisted and changed over time. Central to this study are
the parts played by gender roles and economic organization in determining
multicultural accommodation or conflict, including their impact on dynamics
leading up to the Black Hawk War.

P. O. (1999). Potawatomi transformation: Potawatomi responses to Catholic
and Baptist mission strategy and competition, 1822-1872 (Native Americans).
Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Saint Louis University.
Abstract: In the nineteenth century the Potawatomi, Native American tribe,
responded favorably to Catholic missionary efforts to inculturate Catholic
Sacramental and devotional practices. More than two thousand Potawatomi people
over a fifty year span of time, 1822 to 1872, inculturated Catholic religious
practices and adopted many elements of Western civilization. They did so in
response to the mission efforts carried out by Jesuits and Sisters of the
Society of the Sacred Heart and because of their indigenous faith practices.
Even though the Potawatomi responded well to Catholic missions and
missionaries, they were not so eager to embrace the approaches of missionaries
from other Christian groups who sought to convert them. In fact, the Baptists,
led by Isaac McCoy, were the other principle Christian tradition which sought
to transform Potawatomi faith and cultural practices during the time period
under consideration. They were largely unsuccessful. Hence, an effort to
discern and uncover the factors which explain the success of the one and the
failure of the other are addressed in the dissertation. In order to encounter
the reasons for the disparity between Catholic mission success and Baptist
mission failure the dissertation is divided into seven chapters. Each chapter
seeks to uncover the issues which may have contributed to the differences in
Potawatomi responses to these two faith traditions. The first chapter
introduces the basic argument, terminology, and methods employed. Potawatomi
cosmology, culture, social structure and religious practices are examined in
chapter two. Chapters three and four examine the mission strategies employed by
the Catholic and Baptist missionaries in Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Kansas and how the Potawatomi responded to these various strategies. Chapter
five is focused on education of children and adults. The sixth chapter explores
the relationships between Catholic Sacraments, devotional practices with that
of Potawatomi religious practices. The final chapter summarizes the argument of
the dissertation.

J. (1989). White captives: gender and ethnicity on successive American
frontiers, 1607-1862. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Brandeis
University.
Abstract: The American frontier has long been recognized as an important area
of study. One of the largest and most evocative sources about the interaction
between Euro-Americans and Indians is captivity materials--narratives,
paintings, etchings, sculpture, and films which give accounts of life on the
frontier. In past scholarship this material has been viewed primarily as
propaganda favoring Indian extermination, evidence for the projection of ideas
of savagery onto Indians, and as ethnographic information. This dissertation
seeks to demonstrate that captivity materials offered earlier generations new
ways of looking at gender and ethnic relations. They did so by placing women
and children, the most vulnerable members of white society, in a foreign
environment, thereby contrasting Anglo-American roles and values with those of
a variety of Indian societies. The method of inquiry compares men and women, as
well as captives in different periods and on successive frontiers. Period and
geography range from colonial New England to mid-nineteenth century Minnesota.
The materials used include the various captivity genres mentioned, along with
ethnographic works, government documents, newspapers, and private
correspondence. For both sexes, gendered archetypes developed as expressions of
the challenge of capture and Indian-white coexistence. Part I discusses these
archetypes as well as the sexual attitudes expressed in the various captivity
materials. Portrayals of captive women in both sections feature issues of
female survival, independence, and competence. Part II highlights three female
captives. An examination of Jane McCrea's legend demonstrates a concern for the
direction of young women's choices in the early Republic. Mary Jemison's and
Sarah Wakefield's stories argue for seeing some works as presenting
accommodation and understanding of the 'other' as alternatives to
nineteenth-century American policy. This study concludes that while elements of
horror, propaganda, myth making, and ethnographic documentary were significant,
captivity materials also vividly portrayed the anxieties of Anglo-America about
the migration process and the impact it could have on gender roles, family
survival, and the process of nation building.

Abstract: In 1976 the National American Indian Court Judges Association was
awarded a one year contract to study Indian court systems, identify their main
strengths and weaknesses, develop a set of model standards, name four model
courts with whom to test the model standards, and propose a five year plan of
support for Indian courts. Written materials relating to Indian courts and the
advice of people knowledgeable in Indian court problems were utilized.
Twenty-three courts varying in geographic location, size, types of problems,
kind of court, and jurisdiction were visited: Blackfeet, Coeur d-Alene,
Colorado River, Colville, Fort Peck, Gila River, Hopi, Isleta Peublo, Jicarilla
Apache, Menominee, Metlakatla, Navajo, Nevada Colonies, Oglala Sioux, Papago, Red
Lake Chippewa, San Carlos Apache, San Juan Pueblo, Suquamish, Uintah and
Ouray, Warm Springs, Yakima, and Zuni Pueblo. This report discusses the legal
and historical basis for Indian courts; describes their present status and
problems; identifies several strengths and weaknesses of Indian courts;
presents the Model Standards for Indian Judicial Systems which were developed,
along with a proposal that they be implemented immediately by four Indian
courts serving as model courts; and presents a five year plan of support for
Indian courts covering individual court needs assessment, tribal legislation,
facilities and equipment, court related services, personnel, community
relations and education, the National Indian Judiciary Research Institute, data
collection, training, interagency coordination, and Congressional action. (NQ)

Abstract: In this statement on H.R. 13343 presented to the Committee on
Government Operations, the National Tribal Chairmen's Association, along with
the National Congress of American Indians and the Alaska Federation of Natives,
has voiced an "emphatic and uncompromising no" to the transfer of Indian
education out of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and into the proposed
Department of Education. Exercising self- determination as mandated by the
Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, numerous tribal
governments have prepared responses to H.R. 13343. This testimony indicates
99.5% of the federally recognized tribes have said "no" to H.R.
13343. Among the many tribal statements quoted here are negative responses from
the Shoshone Bannock, Southern Ute, Utah Ute, Mescalero Apache, Oneida,
Colville Confederated and Comanche Tribes, the Yankton Sioux, the Red Cliff
Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Taos Pueblo, Picuris Pueblo, etc. Among the
concerns presented by these and other tribal governments are the following:
fragmentation of Indian education services, disregard for federal trust
responsibility, disregard for Indian preference, elimination of schools
separately established for Indians, undermining of tribal sovereignty, conflict
with P.L. 93-638 and the contracting education programs that provide for Indian
control, loss of BIA's working relationship with Indian tribal organizations,
etc. (JC)

Abstract: A commonly held theory is that the first wave of migrants into the
New World was derivative from the ethnic groups then inhabiting eastern Siberia.
However, these ethnic groups jack a mtDNA haplogroup (B) that is well
represented in Amerindian tribes. Also, the time depth of the other three mtDNA
haplogroups found in Amerindians (A, C, and D) appears to be greater in the
Amerindians than in the eastern Siberian ethnic groups. In this communication
we demonstrate that the human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type II, present in 11
of the 38 Amerindian tribes thus far examined, is not present in any of the 10
ethnic groups of eastern Siberia that we have studied. However, the virus has
just been reported in the indigenous population of Mongolia, and mtDNA
haplogroup B is also represented in this region. On the basis of these facts,
we propose that the ancestors of the first migrants to the New World were not
derived from north and central Siberia but from populations to the south,
inhabiting the regions of Mongolia, Manchuria, and/or the extreme southeastern
tip of Siberia. [References: 50]

D. A. (1986). An analysis of variations in bone density and cortical loss in
three Native American skeletal populations (mineral analysis, Midwest).
Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Michigan State University.
Abstract: This study examines
variations in cortical bone loss after mid-adulthood among three archaeological
populations from the Midwest. Hypotheses concerning intrasite (age and sex) and
inter-population variation are tested with data obtained from the femoral
cortices of 123 specimens. It is suggested that differences in subsistence,
particularly diet, are related to the differences in cortical gain and loss at
the three sites. One population represents hunter-gatherers from the Archaic
and Woodland components at the Black Earth site, Illinois. The other two
populations, from the Larson Phase (Middle
Mississippian) at Dickson Mounds and the eighteenth-century Fletcher site,
Michigan, represent maize agriculturalists. Rectangular pieces of cortical bone
approximately 1 x 1.5 cm. were excised from the anterior femoral shaft of each
specimen. Photon absorptiometric techniques were applied to each sample in
order to determine the bone mineral content, and cortical thickness was
measured directly on each sample with Vernier calipers. A bone density index
was calculated from the ratio of bone mineral index (g/cm('2)) to cortical
thickness (cm), yielding a mass per volume value in terms of g/cm('3) of
cortical bone. The result of the intra-site (age and sex) analysis support the
proposition that members of all three populations lose cortical bone after midadulthood.
The data also indicate that females lose more bone than do males after
midadulthood (at the Black Earth site). Results from the comparisons between
sites support the proposition that the hunter-gatherers and agriculturalists
differ in the amount and patterning of cortical loss after midadulthood.
Specifically, the agriculturalists in this study lost more bone mineral,
cortical thickness, and bone density with advancing age than did the
hunter-gatherers. A comparison of the relative changes in the three variables
at the sites indicated that the maize agriculturalists lost proportionately
more bone mineral than cortical thickness after midadulthood, and therefore
exhibit a loss of bone density. The hunger-gatherers, on the other hand, lost
proportionately similar amounts of bone mineral and cortical thickness, thereby
maintaining or slightly increasing their bone density after midadulthood. It is
suggested that nutritional stress associated with a maize-based diet accounts
for the greater bone loss observed among the agriculturalists.

(Mookomaan Zaaga'igan), Quetico Provincial Park, Ontario. Unpublished
doctoral dissertation, Trent University (Canada).
Abstract: Knife Lake, from the Ojibwa Mookomaan zaaga'igan, lies on the
Ontario-Minnesota border. A field survey including both the shoreline and the
adjacent bush on the Ontario side of the lake was conducted to determine the
extent of quarry activity. Twenty quarry sites were found. Evidence of quarry
activity included the presence of flake scars on bedrock and boulders,
hammerstones, hammerstone marks adjacent to quarry faces, and quarry debris. In
addition, intact and broken preforms were recovered from quarry sites and
adjacent campsites. Geological samples were obtained and those from quarry
sites were overwhelmingly fine-grained Knife Lake siltstone (94%), while
non-quarry samples were predominantly coarser-grained (77%). Neutron activation
analysis of quarry samples showed that Knife Lake siltstone was distinct from
all except some Lake of the Woods chert samples. Flakes from 7 of the 9
archaeological sites analyzed closely matched the Knife Lake quarry samples.
Thin-sections of Knife Lake siltstone indicated it is composed of silt-sized
particles. Its high silica content and metamorphosed nature indicate it should
be called Knife Lake silicified metasiltstone.

Abstract: On the same day in 1986 that Brian Mulroney signed an international
Proclamation to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination, his government fired
Mary Pitawanakwat from a government office in Regina, Saskatchewan. After an
investigation in 1988 and 1989, the Human Rights Commission confirmed many of
the incidents, including discriminatory remarks against Aboriginal people,
touching of her buttocks, and sexual innuendos in office memos, all creating a
poisoned work environment. The government asked a federal court judge to bar
the parties in the suit from carrying the case forward. In April 1991, the
court ruled against the government, but threw out sexual harassment charges on
a technicality, making Pitawanakwat refile them separately. Her case has won
support from labor, women's rights organizations, and Aboriginal groups. S.

territory of Wisconsin (Volumes I and II). Unpublished doctoral
dissertation, The University of Chicago.
Abstract: Beginning shortly after a U.S. Court of Appeals decision in 1983,
upholding federal treaties signed in the mid-nineteenth century, the Ojibwa
people of Lac du Flambeau began to both hunt deer on the lands, and spearfish
prized gamefish in the lakes off their reservation both in spite, and because of
growing local non-Indian opposition. By 1989, the conflict had escalated to the
point of engaging the sustained attention of both the state government and the
state's congressional delegation. The conflict process engendered a cultural
renaissance on the reservation. I argue that this ethnic reorganization is
continuous with Lac du Flambeau's long tradition of creatively transforming its
relationship to dominant and encompassing cultural, social, political and
economic orders. I show how a distinct Ojibwa order of value has played an
important role in configuring the band's history, and the history and meaning
of the conflict over spearfishing in the 1980s.

Abstract: Several tribes of North American Indians are known to have poor
glucose control and are at a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Similarly
some tribes also exhibit RA at a high frequency. We have recently determined
that a subset of Caucasian patients with RA mount an immune response to IgG
modified with advanced glycation endproducts (AGE). The AGE modifications on
IgG in vivo include N-epsilon-(carboxymethyl) lysine, imidazolone and pentosidine.
The presence of IgG-AGE and the antibody response to the IgG-AGE in the Ojibwe
tribe of First Nations native Indians where both NIDDM and RA are prevalent was
investigated. AGE modified IgG and albumin were determined using a modified
nitroblue tetrazolium assay. Rheumatoid factors (RFs) and IgM and IgA
anti-IgG-AGE were detected by ELISA. Of the 108 individuals tested, 21 had RA
only, 3 had both RA and type 2 diabetes, 30 had type 2 diabetes only and 51 had
no diagnosed disease. AGE modified IgG was significantly elevated in the RA
group compared to the diabetic group. IgM and IgA RFs were detected in 83% and
50% of the RA patients, compared to 31-37% and 7-10% of the diabetics or normal
individuals. IgM anti-IgG-AGE was detected in 54% of the RA patients, in
contrast to 7-14% in the diabetics or normal individuals. IgA anti-IgG-AGE was
detected in 42% of the RA patients and only 7 to 8% of the NIDDM or normal
individuals. The IgM or IgA anti-IgG-AGE antibodies likely contribute to the
accumulation of IgG-AGE, possibly through blocked clearance through AGE
receptors. A trend towards more severe disease was seen in those Ojibwe RA
patients with circulating anti-AGE antibodies. Non-enzymatic glycation may be
an important pathogenic link in the RA seen in North American Indians.

Abstract: Personal pronouns with first person n and second person m have been
claimed to be frequent in the native languages of the Americas, widespread
there, and rare elsewhere, and thus to indicate genetic unity of Amerind. A
controlled cross-linguistic survey shows that these pronouns have an extensive
yet restricted geographical range limited to the western Americas, and that
they recur (though not frequently) elsewhere around the Pacific rim. This
distribution removes the strongest (and perhaps the only) evidence for genetic
relatedness of Amerind. In addition, on statistical grounds the n:m paradigm
fails as a diagnostic of genetic relatedness, though equally clearly it cannot
be due to universals or random chance. Certain other linguistic features and
one mitochondrial DNA lineage have much the same geographical and statistical
distribution. Though the language families in which these features appear
cannot be shown to be genetically related, the families have clearly had some
shared history (the type and degree not precisely specifiable) in the distant past.
The n:m pronouns reflect a single, datable, noninitial and nonterminal phase in
the settlement of the Americas and are probably the best linguistic marker of
that phase.* [References: 22]

transition zone of Western Manitoba (Canada). Unpublished doctoral

Abstract: Viewed from the perspective of prehistory, the forest/grassland
transition zone of western Manitoba has remained an unknown and largely
uninvestigated tract of land, lying between the southern boreal forest
Woodlands to the east, and the Northern Plains to the west. It is an area
characterized by marked topographical and ecological diversity when compared to
adjacent regions and biomes. Virtually all of the important subsistence
resources of the adjacent forest and plains biomes are to be found within this
forest/grassland transition zone. In addition, these diverse resources can be
found to occur within a moderate distance of each other due to the mosaic
pattern of habitats which characterize the distribution of the parkland
vegetation. This thesis examines the interactive dynamics of the physical,
biological and cultural variables operative in the study area, with the goal of
developing models which account for the patterns observed in the archaeological
record. These patterns result from activities associated with the local human
ecology and the prehistoric adaptive strategies which developed and were
utilized by the aboriginal occupants of the study area. The early ethnohistoric
accounts of the region have provided sufficient information to reconstruct the
basic subsistence pattern of the Assiniboine, Cree, and Ojibwa, who utilized
the area during the period of European contact. In addition, it has been
possible to outline the adaptive changes in subsistence strategy which these
several groups undertook in response to environmental and technological variables
which resulted from the European inroads. The Prehistoric period, dating from
the commencement of retreat of the continental glaciers 12,000 years ago, is
much more complex. The cohesive pattern that integrates developments throughout
this timespan is a pattern of flexible demographic and cultural response to new
or changed environmental opportunities. While the details of adaptive
strategies varied from group to group, the general patterns of subsistence can
be shown to conform to a limited number of basic models which are closely tied
to the environmental parameters of the biomes under consideration. The human
ecology of the forest/grassland transition zone of western Manitoba is
characterized by patterns of flexibility in cultural response to changing environmental
opportunities. The resulting adaptive strategies, which have been identified
and modelled, indicate a varied repertoire of social and technological systems
by means of which the various cultural groups effectively exploited the
resources which were available. In addition, it can be demonstrated that 'risk
reducing strategies' were employed to more fully exploit unique or temporary
situations afforded by the interactions of physical, biological, and cultural
variables affecting the total human environment.

Abstract: The effects of a 500-kV transmission line on bird populations were
assessed by comparing paired treatment areas (which included a transmission
line and right-of-way (ROW)) with similar control areas in 6 different habitat
types during the breeding and migration seasons. Habitat structure was measured
to examine the inherent differences between control and treatment areas. Using
2 census methods, territorial mapping and transect counts, it was determined
that sedge wrens and LeConte's sparrows had lower breeding-population densities
in treatment areas than in control areas. LeConte's sparrows and Connecticut
warblers occurred at greater mean distances from the transmission line in treatment
areas than from a similarly positioned line in control areas. Fifteen paired
t-tests (5 habitats in 3 yr), in which territorial mapping data were used,
revealed that community densities were lower in 1 treatment habitat (high
shrub) in 1 of 3 yr (P lt 0.05). A 2-way analysis of variance with transect
counts was not confirmatory when yearly variation was included. Transect counts
revealed lower population densities in 1 treatment habitat (low shrub) in 2 of
3 yr (P lt 0.05). Greater species richness (P lt 0.05) was observed in 2
treatment habitats (closed spruce and sedge fen) than in controls. Treatment
habitats were most similar in habitat structure to their paired control
habitats, but each habitat of the pair was significantly different (P lt 0.05)
from the other in at least 2 of 10 habitat characteristics analyzed. It is
suggested that avian differences observed between paired areas were primarily
attributable to the inherent habitat differences between control and treatment
areas and the new habitat created under the transmission line. Data indicated
negligible effects of this transmission line on bird populations, but
interpretations are difficult, because the effects varied with habitat, season
and method considered. Postimpact studies, which compare control and treatment
areas, are less effective than before-and-after studies, because differences in
habitat structure exist between any 2 areas.

mid-nineteenth-century Canada and Red River. Unpublished doctoral
dissertation, University of Toronto (Canada).
Abstract: From the upsurge of temperance revivals in 1841 to the narrow defeat
of a prohibition bill in the Province of Canada in 1855, the records suggest
that at least five hundred thousand people took the total abstinence pledge.
Campaigns in the less populous western colony of Red River added perhaps
another thousand to the number. Their motives ranged from such mundane
considerations as labour efficiency to a conviction that the millenium was at
hand. The latter notion influenced devout members of the Montreal business
community and their wives. Through the agency of the Montreal Temperance
Society they undertook in 1841 to send out agents to every English-speaking
community in the Province. Montreal's missionaries enjoyed particular success
in Canada West, where the rural population was outgrowing 'frontier' drinking
patterns. In Toronto and other towns, the increasing influence of evangelicals,
growing social problems, and restlessness for progress all helped win recruits.
Meanwhile, temperance took different courses in two other British North
American communities. Among the French-speaking peoples of Canada East, Father
Charles Chiniquy linked temperance to progress and canadien patriotism. He
thereby induced over half the population to take the teetotal pledge--helping,
in the process, to confirm the social leadership of the clergy. In Red River,
restraint by the Hudson's Bay Company and temperance preaching by missionaries
led to a more sober society in the three decades following the union of rival
fur trade companies in 1821. But enthusiasm was less marked than in Canada. It
clashed with the drive for free trade (of which liquor was a major commodity)
which was integral to metis nationalism. Red River's drinking practices can
also be seen partly in the context of a traditional society resisting attempts
at modernization; while political upheaval and the lack of effective law
enforcement also play a part. Back in Canada, temperance continued to flourish
among many progressive farmers, ambitious artisans, ardent nationalists and in
the growing ranks of middle class women. At their fore were a French Catholic
clergy, rapidly growing in influence; and the rising entrepreneurs of Toronto
and Montreal. Such forces assured the movement's prominence in the
mid-nineteenth century and days ahead.
