This educational event was held December 3 and provided information that served as a refresher for experienced winter backcountry travelers while also providing basic knowledge for those considering the backcountry. Sarah Carpenter and Don Sharaf, owners of the Institute, split the evening between avalanche basics, a checklist approach to decision making, and a discussion of this year’s snowpack in the Tetons. The night ended with 52 door prizes. Many in the crowd of 90 left not only smarter about the risks of winter backcountry travel but also with smiles on their faces from the prizes.

10Th Mountain Division Hut Association Summer Hut Information Please Share with All Group Members
10TH MOUNTAIN DIVISION HUT ASSOCIATION SUMMER HUT INFORMATION PLEASE SHARE WITH ALL GROUP MEMBERS Backcountry Preparedness The huts are situated between 9,700 and 11,700 feet in elevation. A warm summer morning at a trailhead can turn quickly (and without warning) into a cold storm with lightning, hail, or even snow at higher elevations. Hypothermia and altitude sickness are common problems in the mountains, be sure that you know how to prevent, recognize and treat these potentially life-threatening conditions. Bring enough extra clothing, survival gear, food, and water to spend the night out if you do not make it to the hut (Summer Suggested Equipment List). Traveling to the Huts Hiking & Mountain Biking* There are many Forest Service roads and trails that lead to, or are close to the huts. Purchase a map through 10th Mountain, a local outdoor store, or contact the local Forest Service for more information. Start early in the day and allow plenty of time to reach the hut, and remember to accommodate the slowest member of your group. *Mountain bikes are prohibited from entering Wilderness Areas and may not be allowed on all trails, so please know and respect any restrictions and boundary locations. Vehicle Access While many of the huts are accessible by 4-wheel drive high clearance vehicles, 10th Mountain does not guarantee vehicle access, and some roads are considered more challenging than others. Since the huts were built for skiers, mountain bikers and hikers, motor vehicles are strongly discouraged except for group support. Please consider a non-motorized option to access the huts, but if driving: Purchase a map of the area and determine which road(s) are appropriate for your driver/vehicle and contact the Forest Service before your departure for information on road conditions and openings/closures. -

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot. -

Questions in Architectural History 1 (Late 18th – 19th Century) Faculty: Christopher Cowell, Mary McLeod, Reinhold Martin Teaching Fellows: Caitlin Blanchfield, Benedict Clouette, Samuel Stewart-Halevy, Robin Honggare, Alireza Karbasioun, Elliott Sturtevant, Ife Vanable. ARCH A4348 Wed 11am-1pm / Avery 115 (Cowell) Fall 2018 This two-semester introductory course is organized around selected questions and problems that have, over the course of the past two centuries, helped to define architecture’s modernity. The course treats the history of architectural modernity as a contested, geographically and culturally uncertain category, for which periodization is both necessary and contingent. The fall semester begins with the apotheosis of the European Enlightenment and the early phases of the industrial revolution in the late eighteenth century. From there, it proceeds in a rough chronology through the “long” nineteenth century. Developments in Europe and North America are situated in relation to worldwide processes including trade, imperialism, nationalism, and industrialization. Sequentially, the course considers specific questions and problems that form around differences that are also connections, antitheses that are also interdependencies, and conflicts that are also alliances. The resulting tensions animated architectural discourse and practice throughout the period, and continue to shape our present. Each week, objects, ideas, and events will move in and out of the European, North American, and colonial non-West frame, with a strong emphasis on relational thinking and contextualization. This includes a historical, relational understanding of architecture itself. Although the Western tradition had recognized diverse building practices as “architecture” for some time, an understanding of architecture as an academic discipline and as a profession, which still prevails today, was only institutionalized in the European nineteenth century. -

They implied stale routine, submission to outworn rules for which universal validity had once been claimed.! In architecture these rules were associated with the five orders of columns. During the sixties and seventies there came a renewal of interest, not in the long-despised and long forgotten rules but in the outward show of classicism, as a protest against the naked economy of commercialized modernism. In spite of the periodic appeals to return to an "order," a "canon," fustian classicism had long been opposed to an elegant and exhilarating modernism. -
