Reindeer Herding in Alaska:1900-1940

Reindeer Herding in Alaska:1900-1940 Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 03/25/2019 - 16:57

This paper examines what we believe to be a forerunner of many current livestock programs – the provision of reindeer to Native Alaskans starting in the 1890s. Reindeer were imported from Russia with the intended purpose of providing a dependable source of cash income, food and employment in rural Native Alaskan villages. Using previously unexplored household level censuses conducted at the end of the Great Depression, we provide a detailed examination of these households accounting for income sources, asset and liability holdings. In particular, we ask if those villages or households who owned reindeer were better placed at the end of the Great Depression than those households or villages that did not have access to reindeer.

Muralism and [Re]definition of Community Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 03/25/2019 - 16:57

What happens to a community when it casts itself on the walls that surround it? Using the murals of Boyle Heights, Los Angeles and the recent Indigenous Mural Space executed in the Visual Arts Complex on �� Boulder campus as particular examples, this talk will examine the impact and
function of murals with respect to cultural identity formation, and the creation of community in otherwise oppressive spaces.

Héctor Ramírez received his MFA in Fiction from �� Boulder in 2018, where he produced a novel manuscript centered around Boyle Heights and the murals of that community. He is the Assistant Director of the Upward Bound Program at �� Boulder, and was the project director for the
Indigenous Mural Space.

From Collaboration to Partnerships with the Pueblo of Pojoaque Anonymous (not verified) Wed, 02/20/2019 - 16:33

Since 2014, �� and the Pueblo of Pojoaque have been partnering to expand knowledge of ancestral archaeological sites on and adjacent to Pojoaque tribal land. In this talk, I explain why the concept of partnership better-captures the approach we are taking than the related concepts of indigenous and collaborative archaeology. I also describe how we have implemented this approach in our investigation of Cuyamungue, an ancestral Pojoaque (and Tesuque) site and provide a few examples of ways traditional knowledge and archaeology have influenced each other through our work.
