  • Sustainability in a Native American Context KV DRAFT 12 1 12
    1 The River of Life: Sustainable Practices of Native Americans and Indigenous Peoples Michael E Marchand A dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Kristiina Vogt, Chair Richard Winchell Daniel Vogt Program Authorized to Offer Degree School of Environmental and Forest Sciences 2 ©Copyright 2013 Michael E Marchand 3 University of Washington Abstract The River of Life: Sustainable Practices of Native Americans and Indigenous Peoples Michael E Marchand Chair of Supervisory Committee Dr. Kristiina Vogt School of Environmental and Forest Sciences This dissertation examines how Indigenous people have been forced to adapt for survival after exploitation by Colonial powers. It explains how the resultant decision making models of Indigenous people, based on their traditions and culture, have promoted sustainable growth and development more in harmony with ecological systems. In a 1992 address to the United Nations, a Hopi spiritual leader warned of his tribe’s prophecy that stated there are two world views or paths that humankind can take. Path One is based on technology that is separate from natural and spiritual law. This path leads to chaos and destruction. Path Two development remains in harmony with natural law and leads to paradise. Therefore humans, as children of Mother Earth, need to clean up the messes before it is too late and get onto Path Two and live in harmony with natural law. 4 Water is the focus for this dissertation, as it crosses all aspects of life. Rivers, for example, have a dual purpose. They are a source of life.

  • GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES and the PRESERVATION and DISPLAY of NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURAL RESOURCES in the MIDDLE COLUMBIA BASIN
    AN ABSTRACT CF THE THESIS OF Elva Olson Michael for the degree of Masterof Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies: Anthropology, Art, and Resource Recreation presented on July 25, 1979 Title: GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES and THE PRESERVATIONAND DISPLAY OF NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURAL RESOURCES IN THE MIDDLE COLUMBIA BASIN Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Thomas C. Hogg , " Prior to advent of Europeans in thePacific Northwest, the Middle Columbia River Basin was thelocation of highly develped native cultures. For centuries it was the center of very important native trade networksthat extended over western North America and a site ofimportant intertribal rituals relating to renewal of natural andfood resources. It possessed remarkably rich cultural resourceswhich are part of our national heritage andtrust. Today the Pacific Northwest Region isthe locus of 53 dam's which have inundated formervillages, fishing grounds, and prehistoric sites ofIndian people. This is especially true along the ColumbiaRiver. The construction of The Dalles Dam in 1952 institutedprior removal of ap- proximately forty of the 450prehistoric petroglyphs along the banks of the Long Narrowsand Celilo Falls, just east of The Dalles, Oregon. Following the removal of these native works of art, they werestored at The Dalles Dam site where they have remained for twenty-seven years. The situation of the petroglyphs prompted the question of who is responsible for their care, preservation, and proper interpretation. Research was conducted to examine pertinent federal and state policies as revealed in laws, regulations, executive orders, and in the actions and statements of public officials whose responsibilities relate to cultural resources. It was determined that laxity in enforcement of the Federal Antiquities Act of 1906 allows the petroglyphs to have remained in obscurity over the years and to never have been properly cared for or interpreted in a scientific or educational context.
