  • Hopi Crop Diversity and Change
    J. Ethtlobiol. 13(2);203-231 Winter 1993 HOPI CROP DIVERSITY AND CHANGE DANIELA SOLER I and DAVID A. CLEVELAND Center for People, Food, and Environment 344 South Third Ave. Thcson, AZ 85701 ABSTRACT.-There is increasing interest in conserving indigenous crop genetic diversity ex situ as a vital resource for industrial agriculture. However, crop diver­ sity is also important for conserving indigenously based, small-scale agriculture and the farm communities which practice it. Conservation of these resources may best be accomplished, therefore, by ensuring their survival in situ as part of local farming communities like the Hopi. The Hopi are foremost among Native Ameri­ can farmers in the United States in retaining their indigenous agriculture and folk crop varieties (FVs), yet little is known about the dynamics of change and persis­ tence in their crop repertoires. The purpose of our research was to investigate agricultural crop diversity in the form of individual Hopi farmers' crop reper­ toires, to establish the relative importance of Hopi FVs and non·Hopi crop vari­ eties in those repertoires, and to explore the reasons for change or persistence in these repertoires. We report data from a 1989 survey of a small (n "" 50), oppor­ tunistic sample of Hopi farmers and discuss the dynamics of change based on cross·sectional comparisons of the data on crop variety distribution, on farmers' answers to questions about change in their crop repertoires, and on the limited comparisons possible with a 1935 survey of Hopi seed sources. Because ours is a small, nonprobabilistic sample it is not possible to make valid extrapolations to Hopi farmers in general.

  • Teaching Syllabus for Food and Nutrition (Shs 1 - 3)
    MINISTRY OF EDUCATION Republic of Ghana TEACHING SYLLABUS FOR FOOD AND NUTRITION (SHS 1 - 3) Enquiries and comments on this syllabus should be addressed to: The Director Curriculum Research and Development Division (CRDD) P. O. Box 2739 Accra Ghana Tel: 0302-683668 0302-683651 September, 2010 1 TEACHING SYLLABUS FOR FOOD AND NUTRITION RATIONALE FOR TEACHING FOOD AND NUTRITION Home Economics consists of three subjects: Food and Nutrition, Clothing and Textiles, and Management In-Living. The subjects of Home Economics emphasize the study of the physical, emotional, intellectual and social needs of the individual, the family and society. The welfare of the individual, the family and society is therefore the primary concern in Home Economics. This concern is manifested by assisting the student to acquire skills that he/she would need to be able to improve the quality and meaning of life in a changing society. Without good food, an individual would not be able to function well in all spheres of life. It is therefore important that students are exposed to ways of selecting and cooking wholesome food for themselves and others. In addition, Food and Nutrition as a vocational subject, prepares students for the world of work. Food and Nutrition involves a study of the selection, processing, storage and utilization of food. The subject also encourages the creative use of local foods and associated food service to meet the nutritional needs and other demands of consumers. GENERAL AIMS: The syllabus is designed to help students to: 1. acquire basic knowledge about foods, their nutritive value and utilization. 2.

  • Lesson Plan Indian Life Readers: Indian Stories for Boarding School Students
    Lesson Plan Indian Life Readers: Indian Stories for Boarding School Students Grade Levels 8 and up Use the pdf version of this lesson in order to link directly to the resources identified. Summary: This flexible group activity framework—which builds on the content presented for the book Field Mouse Goes to War in the Education Outreach Kit—may be adapted for use with school groups as well as general audiences. The lesson offers a variety of components, including: brief background information about Indigenous languages and the impact of Indian boarding schools on language; lesson extension ideas related to Indigenous languages; additional resources for exploring Field Mouse Goes to War in greater depth (see p. 13); and resources for reading and discussing a variety of other Indian Life Readers produced by Indian boarding school presses. Timeframe: Elements can be isolated, combined, and adapted in various ways, to serve as brief (one session)—or more extensive—classroom or museum visitor engagement activities, as desired. Background: A Brief Introduction to Indigenous Languages in America More than 300 Indigenous languages were spoken in the area that would become the United States before 1492, and these languages represent more than two dozen distinct linguistic families. However, fewer than 200 remain today, and many of those are considered “critically endangered.” Centuries of war, disease, treaty actions, and forced removal from ancestral lands dramatically and tragically reduced the Native American population from an estimated ten million people in 1492 to less than 300,000 in 1900. Confinement to reservations (sometimes with other tribal groups), twentieth-century migration to cities (the Indian Relocation Act), and boarding school education policies had devastating effects on Native languages.

Students will experience a hands on approach to how important corn is in our society. This collection of activities engages students in the exploration of Native American philanthropy and pilgrim community living. The students will understand and explore the story of corn as a golden thread running through the agricultural history of North America from Pre-Columbian times to the present. Students are able to utilize online resources and technology to discover the importance of corn. Students will also learn that the choices made by people - including themselves and their families - are the most important factors in determining whether renewable corn products like ethanol or biodegradable plastics will be used. They will be able to create renewable products from corn by products. Students This project is designed for grades 1-5th grades.
