    1 Friends of the NEWSLETTER British Columbia Archives Vol. 14, No. 5 Royal BC Museum to Launch Crowd-Sourcing Transcription Site, Transcribe This spring the Royal BC Museum will launch Transcribe, a crowd-sourcing website that will allow the public to transcribe valuable historical records. The project aims to improve the Royal BC Museum and Archives’ public accessibility by turning handwritten, audio, and video records into searchable data. By donating their time to transcribe letters, diaries, journals, and other materials Transcribe volunteers can help share BC’s history from the comfort of home. Crowd-sourcing is an increasingly popular way for archives and museums to improve the accessibility of their collections. The concept behind Transcribe is simple – the Royal BC Museum provides digital photographs of archival materials alongside a blank text area and users type exactly what they see. Volunteers simply visit the website, choose a collection and begin to transcribe, all on their own time. The finished transcriptions are reviewed and approved by Royal BC Museum staff and the data becomes searchable on the Transcribe site. The project was initiated by the New Archives and Digital Preservation department and Archivist Ann ten Cate. “We wanted to enlist the help of volunteers to make our collections more accessible,” said Ember Lundgren, Preservation Manager. “There’s a huge, untapped resource of talented and enthusiastic volunteers, just waiting to help out. Transcribe will help us use that resource. Plus, it’s fun!” 1 Lundgren notes that visitors are not obligated to transcribe work; they will also have the option to view the materials as an online exhibition, and browse existing transcriptions.

  • Chorographies, Ancient Ruins, and Placemaking in the Salt
    Casas Montezumas: Chorographies, Ancient Ruins, and Placemaking in the Salt and Gila River Valleys, Arizona, 1694-1868 by Linnéa K. E. Caproni A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2017 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Victoria Thompson, Chair Philip VanderMeer Dallen Timothy ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2017 ABSTRACT This dissertation uses the narrative practice of chorography as a genre for assessing the history of placemaking in the Salt and Gila River region of central Arizona from the late seventeenth century through the mid-nineteenth century. Chorography concerns the descriptive representation of places in the world, usually of regions associated with a particular nation. Traditionally, chorography has served as a written method for describing geographical places as they existed historically. By integrating descriptions of natural features with descriptions of built features, such as ancient ruins, chorography infuses the physical landscape with cultural and historical meaning. This dissertation relies on a body of Spanish- and English-language chorographies produced across three centuries to interpret how Euro- American descriptions of Hohokam ruins in the Salt and Gila River valleys shaped local placemaking. Importantly, the disparate chorographic texts produced during the late- seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nineteenth centuries reflect ‘discursive continuity’—a continuity of thought spanning a long and frequently disregarded period in the history of central Arizona, in which ruminations about the ruins of ancient cities and irrigation canals formed the basis for what people knew, or thought they knew, about the little-known region. When settlers arrived in the newly-formed Arizona Territory in the 1860s to establish permanent settlement in the Salt and Gila River valleys, they brought with them a familiarity with these writings, maps, and other chorographical materials.

    Carlos Montezuma’s Fight against “Bureauism”: An Unexpected Pima Hero David Martínez Studies in American Indian Literatures, Volume 25, Number 2, Summer 2013, pp. 311-330 (Article) Published by University of Nebraska Press DOI: 10.1353/ail.2013.0018 For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/ail/summary/v025/25.2.martinez.html Access provided by Arizona State University (8 Aug 2013 18:30 GMT) Carlos Montezuma’s Fight against “Bureauism” An Unexpected Pima Hero David Martínez What follows is an account of how Yavapai writer and activist Car- los Montezuma (ca. 1866– 1923) became a prominent fi gure in early twentieth- century Indigenous Arizona history. Specifi cally, it is about how Montezuma became an unexpected hero to the Akimel and To- hono O’odham communities (or Pima and Papago, respectively). Th is occurred as part of Montezuma’s advocacy work for the Fort McDowell community. Because of the courageous way Montezuma battled the In- dian Bureau, his reputation spread, as did his ideas and infl uence. And, while some regard Montezuma’s belated reconnection to his Yavapai community as a contradiction to his assimilationist political agenda, this article argues to the contrary that Montezuma’s fi ght against “bu- reauism” was the culmination of a life devoted to abolishing the Indi- an Bureau. Montezuma’s legacy was made from inspiring the Yavapai, Pima, and Papago communities to assert their rights. Th e scholarly literature, however, has been unfortunately slow at recognizing Mont- ezuma’s role in Arizona Indian history, not to mention American Indian intellectual history.

  • Native Americans an Ultimo
    NATIVE AMERICANS’ RIGHTS CARLOS MONTEZUMA Carlos Montezuma (1866 -1923) ò A Native American doctor and tireless activist for Native American rights. He was the second Native American ever to earn a Medical Degree in a US University. ò Born in Arizona into a Yavapai-Apache family, his real name was Wassaja (the “message”). ò At the age of 5 he was kidnapped by Pima raiders to be sold or bartered. These Native American scouts were paid by “the palefaces”. ò He was purchased by an Italian photographer, Carlo Gentile, who renamed him Carlos Montezuma, after the Aztec emperor of Mexico. He studied medecine and became a doctor. ò He died of tuberculosis in 1923 at the age of 57. Carlos Montezuma ò 1866- ò 1923 Native Americans • 10 to 90 million Native Americans inhabited America at the time of the European arrivals. • During the Ice Age (2.6 million years ago), they had travelled across the Bering Strait, from Siberia into Alaska. They had gradually migrated across the land and southward into Mexico and beyond. • The name Indian was given them by Christopher Columbus who mistakenly believed he had landed in the Indies. Early relations ò Initially, they tried to co-exist with the Europeans. They met the new 16th and 17th century visitors from Europe with enthusiasm. ò But the Europeans soon manifested their intention to conquer the new continent. ò Moreover, the colonists brought measles, smallpox, cholera, yellow fever, and many more devastating diseases. ò This drastically diminished the Native American population and destroyed entire villages. NATIVE AMERICANS ò At the beginning of the 19th century Native Americans were considered free and independent nations within their territories, on the ground of British international principles.
