Management of these fisheries is confounded by numerous factors, including diverse stakeholder interests, socioeconomic conflicts, watershed land use, flood control, novel food web interactions, habitat alterations, and degraded water quality (Willis 1986; Stein et al. 1995; Miranda and DeVries 1996; Allen et al. 2008). One of the most obvious challenges to managing reservoir fisheries is fish escapement over spillways and through water release structures that may result in substantial loss of populations (Lewis et al. 1968; Navarro and Cauley 1993; Paller et al. 2006). Yet, little is known regarding escapement rates of reservoir fishes, factors influencing escapement, impacts of escapement on fish populations, or management options for reducing escapement.

  • Salvage Tourism in American Indian Historical Pageantry A
    “We All Have a Part to Play”: Salvage Tourism in American Indian Historical Pageantry A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY KATRINA MARGARET-MARIE WILBER PHILLIPS IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Adviser: JEAN O’BRIEN MAY 2015 Acknowledgements I am, like my father, often stubborn and independent. However, as I have been reminded time and time again throughout this humbling and gratifying journey, I just can’t do it alone. First and foremost, there is my adviser, Jeani O’Brien, who has read every single word I have ever written – many of them multiple times over. I am eternally grateful for the ways in which she has motivated me, encouraged me, and guided me throughout my graduate school career. I can never repay her for the time she has dedicated to me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. David Chang has pushed me to challenge myself and expand my horizons, which has made me a better scholar. I thank David as well as Kat Hayes for serving as my reviewers, and their feedback was instrumental in shaping this final product. Kevin Murphy and Brenda Child have also kindly served on my committees, and I truly appreciate their time and insight. Barbara Welke’s comments during my preliminary exams urged me to look beyond the scope of my initial research. Any errors in the final product, though, are mine and mine alone. The American Indian and Indigenous Studies Workshop has been my academic home since my first year of graduate school – and special thanks to Boyd Cothran, who helped me with my senior undergraduate thesis and my graduate school applications.

The lesson covers two periods in Ojibwe history: the Treaty Period (1837-1868 in Minnesota) and the economy in modern times (1975-present). The traditional economy did not end abruptly, and some modern Ojibwe in Minnesota continue to practice trapping for furs, fishing, hunting, gathering, and harvesting on limited tribal lands.

  • Contested Ecosystems and Expanding Tribal Jurisdiction in the Great Lakes Region
    Multiple Sovereigns and Transient Resources: Contested Ecosystems and Expanding Tribal Jurisdiction in the Great Lakes Region A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Laura M. Matson IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Bruce Braun & Dr. George Henderson October 2018 © Laura M. Matson 2018 Acknowledgements It seems appropriate to begin this dissertation with Acknowledgements, because it this dissertation was produced by each of these people—their guidance, feedback, ideas, edits, interviews, and support. At its root, this is a dissertation about how communities— and their laws—are shaped, negotiated, and philosophically rooted. I would not have been able to produce this work, or any of the logistical, empirical, or intellectual efforts that went into it, without the many people who contributed. First, I must thank my PhD Committee. Co-advisers Bruce Braun and George Henderson were instrumental in shepherding my intellectual development and have consistently encouraged me to push the limits of my thinking on many of the issues I explore in this dissertation. I am tremendously grateful for their support, guidance, and generosity throughout this process. Throughout law school and my PhD study, John Borrows has steadfastly been one of my most influential mentors. I first studied with John in a Tribal Courts class at the University of Minnesota Law School in the fall of 2011; that course lit a fire that set me on the path that I am on today. I am also indebted to the entire Borrows family for their kindness and hospitality. Though we did not get to know each other until later in my studies, David Wilkins’s prolific and important scholarship influenced my intellectual trajectory from the very beginning of my PhD research.

  • The Murder of Joe White: Ojibwe Leadership and Colonialism in Wisconsin
    The Murder of Joe White: Ojibwe Leadership and Colonialism in Wisconsin A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Erik M. Redix IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Co-advisors: Brenda Child, American Studies Jean O’Brien, History November 2012 © Erik M. Redix, 2012 Acknowledgements This dissertation is the direct result of the generous support of many individuals who have shared their expertise with me over the years. This project has its roots from when I first picked up William Warren’s History of the Ojibwe People as a teenager. A love of Ojibwe history was a part of family: my great-aunt, Caroline Martin Benson, did exhaustive genealogical research for our family; my cousin, Larry Martin, former Chair of American Indian Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, showed me the possibilities of engaging in academia and has always been very warm and gracious in his support of my career. Entering college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I was anxious to learn more about Native people in North America and Latin America. I would like to give thanks to Florencia Mallon for her generous support and mentorship of my Senior Thesis and throughout my time at Madison; she was always there to answer the many questions of a curious undergrad. I am also indebted to Ned Blackhawk, Patty Loew, and Rand Valentine for taking the time to support my intellectual growth and making a big university seem much smaller. After graduation, I returned home to work at Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe Community College (LCOOCC), and eventually served as Chair of the Division of Native American Studies.
