I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. John Browning, McMaster University, who mentored me through my B.A. and M.A. levels and whose encouragement inspired me to dream big. Abstract In this thesis I propose that the neo-indigenista and Native novels of Guatemalan author Miguel Angel Asturias, Peruvian author Jose Maria Arguedas, and Native American authors N. Scott Momaday and Leslie Marmon Silko can be compared and interpreted as a unique development identified in this analysis as 'indigenized modernism.' I approach these authors' reconstructions of contemporary indigenous worlds as local manifestations of modernism that have been 'indigenized' to articulate 'mixed-blood' and mestizo identifications with indigenous cultures as assertions of heritage. An examination of contemporary modernist and sociological theory demonstrates that 'indigenized modernism' comprises two inseparable components. First, it exhibits both an adaptation and a modification of existing traits of modernist primitivism: an interdisciplinary comparison reveals the use of standard modernist techniques, the perpetuation of primitivism's idealization of Native spirituality, and the Native experience relativized by universal and/or pan-Indian elements. Additionally, the shift to Native worldviews 'indigenizes' narrative by displacing the Western worldview to create a new dominant structuring device for the inclusion of elements variously regarded as either spiritual or magical. The consistent presence of these features is both synchronic and diachronic in scope. Second, an examination of contemporary Latin American and Native criticism indicates that the insider perspective is problematic. The use of the sociological concept of the 'Stranger' repositions the authors so that they can be examined not as insiders but rather as culturally estranged individuals who 'perform' the inside by using the above strategies to consolidate the mestizo and 'mixed-blood' relationship to indigenous heritages. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis supervisor, Dr. Jonathan Hart for keeping me on track during the long process of writing, and the members of my committee, Dr. Massimo Verdicchio, Dr. Irene Sywenky, Dr. Jerry Varsava, Dr. Keavy Martin, and Dr. Karin Beeler for providing valuable comments and suggestions.

The novels of Miguel Angel Asturias (Guatemala), Augusto Roa Bastos (Paraguay), Juan Rulfo (Mexico), and later, those of Jose Maria Arguedas (Peru), all equally wonderful in their complexities, struck a resonant chord in me for their ability to explore contemporary indigenous realities, Native-White relations, the historical and personal implications of migration, urbanization, and westernization, and the ease with which issues of 'Indianness' are co-opted by class struggles. The equally complex aesthetic novels written by the early Native American writers associated with Native literary Renaissance - Scott Momaday (Kiowa-Cherokee), Leslie Silko (Laguna- Mexican-White), James Welch (Blackfoot), and Louise Erdrich (Chippewa- German) - likewise dealt with all but the class issues so that all together, both the tribal-specific and nation-specific literatures contributed to a larger understanding of 'mixed-bloodedness' as a phenomenon of sufficient import to engage the literary imaginations of writers across the Americas. In this study, narrowed to consider four of the above authors, Miguel Angel Asturias, Jose Maria Arguedas, Scott Momaday, and Leslie Silko, the contemporary novels, I intuited, were very much alike, although the various local identity-based claims, respectively anchored in local Guatemalan, Peruvian, and Native American political concerns 2 appeared to place Momaday and Silko's focus on tribal nations on opposite sides of the fence, in a manner of speaking, from Asturias and Arguedas' contributions to the development of the national literary traditions of Guatemala and Peru. Nevertheless, I initially responded to them as three literary traditions that similarly responded to contemporary Native issues and the experiences of identifying with indigenous heritages in ways that were very different from prior forms of representation in which the 'Vanishing Indian' was a foregone conclusion. Cultural influences served me well as the basis for a previous inter- American analysis of Miguel Angel Asturias and Leslie Marmon Silko and their use of meso-American sacrificial motifs.1 The culture-only approach to literary interpretation, although interesting up to a point, proved to be a woefully inadequate tool on its own for dealing with Native academics who, like their Latin American counterparts, explore local indigenous realities and engage with international trends. The lack of consideration of the modernist dimension of the Native novel, I finally concluded, simply raised more

    Micronesica 39(1): 73–105, 2006 Provisional keys to the genera of seaweeds of Micronesia, with new records for Guam and Yap CHRISTOPHER S. LOBBAN Division of Natural Sciences, University of Guam, Mangilao, GU 96923 AND ANTOINE D.R. N’YEURT Université de la Polynésie française, Campus d’Outumaoro Bâtiment D B.P. 6570 Faa'a, 98702 Tahiti, French Polynesia Abstract—Artificial keys to the genera of blue-green, red, brown, and green marine benthic algae of Micronesia are given, including virtually all the genera reported from Palau, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, Federated States of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. Twenty-two new species or genera are reported here for Guam and 7 for Yap; 11 of these are also new for Micronesia. Note is made of several recent published records for Guam and 2 species recently raised from varietal status. Finally, a list is given of nomenclatural changes that affect the 2003 revised checklist (Micronesica 35-36: 54–99). An interactive version of the keys is included in the algal biodiversity website at www.uog.edu/ classes/botany/474. Introduction The seaweeds of Micronesia have been studied for over a century but no one has yet written a comprehensive manual for identifying them, nor does it seem likely that this will happen in the foreseeable future. In contrast, floras have recently been published for Hawai‘i (Abbott 1999, Abbott & Huisman 2004) and the South Pacific (Payri et al. 2000, Littler & Littler 2003). A few extensive or intensive works on Micronesia (e.g., Taylor 1950, Trono 1969a, b, Tsuda 1972) gave descriptions of the species in the style of a flora for particular island groups.

Fiscal Impact: Unknown at this time (depends on further City Council direction). Summary: Staff seeks City Council direction concerning repair of tile sidewalks as discussed below. Background: At its September 1, 2015 meeting, the City Council considered award of a construction contract for the Fiscal Year 2015 Sidewalk Repair Program. That contract was to repair defective sidewalks on several streets where use of Ole Hanson Replica Tile is required by the City's Municipal Code. The City Council decided to table consideration of the construction contract for 60 to 90 days and directed staff to provide information so the City Council could re-visit Resolution 03-04 which established the Sidewalk Repair Program. This item was scheduled for discussion at the City Council's October 6 meeting, however the City Council deferred this matter to the October 20 meeting to allow the City Attorney to advise on Councilmember eligibility to consider the matter since most Councilmembers live within 500 feet of tile sidewalk areas depicted in the City's Municipal Code. The City Attorney will provide that advice via a separate memo. This report is to transmit previous information so that the City Council may consider the issue. Discussion: The October 6, 2015 staff report is provided as Attachment 1, and includes information previously requested by the City Council.
