Leonard & Louellyn White Dædalus Journal of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences Design for the hedge maze is by Johan Vredeman de Vries, from Hortorum viridariorumque elegantes & multiplices formae: ad architectonicae artis normam affabre delineatae (Cologne, 1615). Dædalus was founded in 1955 and established as a quarterly in 1958. The journal’s namesake was renowned in ancient Greece as an inventor, scientist, and unriddler of riddles. Its emblem, a maze seen from above, symbolizes the aspiration of its founders to “lift each of us above his cell in the labyrinth of learning in order that he may see the entire structure as if from above, where each separate part loses its comfortable separateness.” The American Academy of Arts & Sciences, like its journal, brings together distinguished individuals from every ½eld of human endeavor. It was char- tered in 1780 as a forum “to cultivate every art and science which may tend to advance the interest, honour, dignity, and happiness of a free, independent, and virtuous people.” Now in its third century, the Academy, with its more than ½ve thousand members, continues to provide intellectual leadership to meet the critical challenges facing our world.

We ran seven conferences that attracted international participation, covered a wide variety of topics in our well-attended weekly colloquia, better involved our graduate students in IMBS research and academic activities, involved the regional academic community in our research activities, held several weekly discussion sessions on a variety of research topics, and hosted several visitors. But, without question, two of the highlights of the year involved the founding director of our institute—Duncan Luce. The absolute highlight for our institute occurred in March of this year when Duncan Luce received, in a ceremony presided over by the president of the United States, the national “Medal of Science!” Pictures of the UCI ceremony, which was hosted by the Dean of the School of Social Sciences and the IMBS to honor Luce, can be found on http://www.imbs.uci.edu.

  • Native Americans, Europeans, and the Raid on Pickawillany
    ABSTRACT “THE LAND BELONGS TO NEITHER ONE”: NATIVE AMERICANS, EUROPEANS, AND THE RAID ON PICKAWILLANY In 1752, the Miami settlement at Pickawillany was attacked by a force of Ottawa and Chippewa warriors under the command of a métis soldier from Canada. This raid, and the events that precipitated it, is ideally suited to act as a case study of the role of Native American peoples in the Ohio Country during the first half of the eighteenth century. Natives negotiated their roles and borders with their British and French neighbors, and chose alliances with the European power that offered the greatest advantage. Europeans were alternately leaders, partners, conquerors and traders with the Natives, and exercised varying levels and types of control over the Ohio Country. Throughout the period, each of the three groups engaged in a struggle to define their roles in regards to each other, and to define the borders between them. Pickawillany offers insights into this negotiation. It demonstrates how Natives were not passive victims, but active, vital agents who acted in their own interest. The events of the raid feature a number of individuals who were cultural brokers, intermediaries between the groups who played a central, but tenuous, role in negotiations. It also exhibits the power of ritual violence, a discourse of torture and maiming that communicated meanings to friends and rivals alike, and whose implications shaped the history of the period and perceptions of Natives.

  • Where Have All the Indians Gone? Native American Eastern Seaboard Dispersal, Genealogy and DNA in Relation to Sir Walter Raleigh’S Lost Colony of Roanoke
    Where Have All the Indians Gone? Native American Eastern Seaboard Dispersal, Genealogy and DNA in Relation to Sir Walter Raleigh’s Lost Colony of Roanoke. Roberta Estes Copyright 2009, all rights reserved, submitted for publication [email protected] or [email protected] Abstract Within genealogy circles, family stories of Native American1 heritage exist in many families whose American ancestry is rooted in Colonial America and traverses Appalachia. The task of finding these ancestors either genealogically or using genetic genealogy is challenging. With the advent of DNA testing, surname and other special interest projects2, tools now exist to facilitate grouping participants in a way that allows one to view populations in historical fashions. This paper references and uses data from several of these public projects, but particularly the Melungeon, Lumbee, Waccamaw, North Carolina Roots and Lost Colony projects3. The Lumbee have long claimed descent from the Lost Colony via their oral history4. The Lumbee DNA Project shows significantly less Native American ancestry than would be expected with 96% European or African Y chromosomal DNA. The Melungeons, long held to be mixed European, African and Native show only one ancestral family with Native DNA5. Clearly more testing would be advantageous in all of these projects. This phenomenon is not limited to these groups, and has been reported by other researchers such as Bolnick (et al, 2006) where she reports finding in 16 Native American populations with northeast or southeast roots that 47% of the families who believe themselves to be full blooded or no less than 75% Native with no paternal European admixture find themselves carrying European or African y-line DNA.

    ABSTRACT ACIIPIHKAHKI: IŠI KATI MIHTOHSEENIWIYANKIWI MYAAMIONKI ROOTS OF PLACE: EXPERIENCING A MIAMI LANDSCAPE by JOSHUA SUTTERFIELD This thesis explores an individual interpretation of Miami Ecological Knowledge (MEK), which is a form of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) specific to the Miami people. Through the research project my own identity and understanding of concepts such as landscape, place, time and nature have evolved into a multifaceted and multicultural interpretative lens. This work combines MEK and ecological science to provide an example of Native American research within an academic setting. The research is guided by the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma‘s cultural revitalization effort and is intended as a contribution to that effort. Because this research was directed by the Miami Tribe‘s interest in cultural revitalization it contributes to what has been referred to as decolonization. aciipihkahki: iši kati mihtohseeniwiyankwi myaamionki Roots of Place: Experiencing a Miami Landscape A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University In partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Geography by Joshua Sutterfield Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor_____________________________ Professor Thomas C.

  • Native American Demographic and Tribal Survival Into the Twenty-First Century
    Native American Demographic and Tribal Survival into the Twenty-first Century Russell Thornton The indigenous tribal populations of North America north of the Rio Grande River—referred to generically here as "Native Americans," a term encompass­ ing American Indians, Inuit (Eskimo), and Aleutian Islanders—declined drasti­ cally following European colonization. How drastic the decline was is debated since estimates of aboriginal population size for the area vary widely. The clas­ sic estimate of aboriginal population size for this area is James Mooney's 1,152,000 million for North America north of the Rio Grande River at first (extensive) European contact (see Mooney 1928). Subsequent scholars gener­ ally accepted Mooney's estimate until 1966, when Henry Dobyns (1966) as­ serted an aboriginal population size for North America north of Mexico of be­ tween 9.8 and 12.25 million; in i983, he increased his asserted size to 18 mil­ lion (north of Mesoamerica) (see Dobyns 1983). Scholars now agree that Mooney's population estimate significantly under­ estimated aboriginal population size for the area north of the Rio Grande River. Most scholars also consider Dobyns's estimates to be excessive, although little consensus for a higher population figure exists. Estimates vary from around 2 million by Douglas Ubelaker (1988) to almost 4 million (reduced from an ear­ lier estimate of almost 4.5 million) by William M. Denevan (1992 [1976], xvii- xxix) to the slightly more than 7 million estimate I arrived at and continue to use (see Thornton and Marsh-Thornton 1981, 47-53; Thornton 1987, 25-32).l My 0026-3079/2005/4603/4-023S2.50/0 American Studies, 46:3/4 (Fall-Winter 2005): 23-38 Indigenous Studies Today, 1 (Fall 2005/Spring 2006) 23 24 Russell Thornton estimate includes somewhat more than 5 million people for the conterminous United States area and somewhat more than 2 million for present-day Canada, Alaska, and Greenland combined.
