    Deconstructing the western worldview: toward the repatriation and indigenization of wellness Item Type Thesis Authors Rahm, Jacqueline Marie Download date 23/09/2021 13:22:54 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/4821 DECONSTRUCTING THE WESTERN WORLDVIEW: TOWARD THE REPATRIATION AND INDIGENIZATION OF WELLNESS A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Jacqueline Marie Rahm, B.A., M.A. Fairbanks, Alaska December 2014 Abstract As Indigenous peoples and scholars advance Native histories, cultures, and languages, there is a critical need to support these efforts by deconstructing the western worldview in a concerted effort to learn from indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing for humanity’s future wellbeing. Toward that imperative, this research brings together and examines pieces of the western story as they intersect with Indigenous peoples of the lands that now comprise the United States of America. Through indigenous frameworks and methodologies, it explores a forgotten epistemology of the pre-Socratic and Pythagorean Archaic and Classical Greek eras that is far more similar to indigenous worldviews than it is to the western paradigm today. It traces how the West left behind this timeless wisdom for the “new learning” and the European colonial settlers arrived in the old “New World” with a fragmented, materialistic, and dualistic worldview that was the antithesis to those of Indigenous peoples. An imbalanced and privileged worldview not only justified an unacknowledged genocide in world history, it is characteristic of a psycho-spiritual disease that plays out across our global society.

  • Historic Route 66 Auto Tour — Williams to Flagstaff, Arizona Williams Ranger District Kaibab National Forest
    Southwestern Region United States Department of Agriculture RG-3-07-07 Forest Service July 2013 Historic Route 66 Auto Tour — Williams to Flagstaff, Arizona Williams Ranger District Kaibab National Forest Points of Interest Take a trip back in time, to a day when driving across America meant finding adventure and freedom on the open road. Imagine what it was like when Arizona’s first tourists saw scenic wonders like the Navajo Indian Reservation, Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon National Park, and pine-laden Kaibab National Forest. Cruise down memory lane and discover the past on Historic Route 66. Williams served travelers on Route 66 as part of the “Main Street of America.” Now called Bill Williams Avenue in this picturesque western town, the historic road is still lined with businesses dating from the highway’s heyday. In 1984, Williams became the last Route 66 town in America to be bypassed by Interstate 40. The tour winds through beautiful scenery toward Bill Williams Mountain. Interstate 40 now covers this section of Route 66 at Davenport Lake. Pittman Valley was first settled by ranchers in the 1870s. Tourists found guest cabins and a gas station along the road here. Historic Route 66 Auto Tour ― Williams to Flagstaff, AZ 1 Garland Prairie Vista has a beautiful view of the San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountains in Arizona. A favorite with photographers, this view appeared on many Route 66 postcards. Parks is a small community that started out as a railroad stop in the 1880s and later became a wayside for highway tourists. When the highway was thriving, the area had a Forest Service campground, several motels, gas stations, curio shops, and a road that led north to the Grand Canyon.

  • Get Your Kitsch on Route 66: the Construction of the Indian
    Colorado College Get Your Kitsch on Route 66: The Construction of the Indian Kitsch as Object and Method, Indigenous Stereotypes as Hyperkitsch along Route 66 Charlotte “Lo” Wall Senior Capstone Project Santiago Guerra & Eric Perramond Spring 2019 2 1. Introduction This paper explores the imposition of an Indianist framework to examine the material aesthetics of tourist attractions and souvenirs along U.S. Route 66 that depict stereotypical imagery of Indigenous peoples. In this paper, I intend to show how Indigenous stereotypes in popular material culture create instances of kitsch. However, on Route 66, this kitsch manifests as hyperkitsch in its attractions’ touristic natures that allow visitors to witness, enact, and play a role in the fantasized life and time of the American Indian. Tourist attractions and certain objects of kitsch create simulated environments and manifestations of hyperreality as tourist attractions that powerfully propel stereotypes that forge non-Native perspectives of Indigenous peoples. This evaluation takes place along the 2,448-mile stretch that is Route 66. The first term, hyperkitsch, is the marriage of frameworks hyperreality and kitsch. Hyperreality is Jean Baudrillard’s term for a reality simulated from models or a reality that references sources of inspiration/models (Baudrillard 1994). Thus, hyperreality is generated from ideas and is not physically real because hyperreality “has fabulous proportions … without space or dimensions” (Baudrillard 1981). Therefore, hyperreality is intentionally created to have a striking resemblance to the origin of inspiration but is neither wholly objectively true nor subjectively imagined. Rather, hyperreality exists between the real and the imaginary in a space to which humans cannot physically interact with or connect (Robinson 2012).

  • Disney California Adventure® Park 1-Day Hopper Plan
    PAGE 1 PAR K PLAN Disney California Adventure® Park 1-Day Hopper Plan Disneyland® Park is the first theme park Walt Disney created and remains heavy on the nostalgia — with classic rides such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. Disney California Adventure® Park is the place to find popular Disney, Pixar and super hero attractions such asGuardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT!, Radiator Springs Racers and Incredicoaster. With so many attractions, we recommend planning at least two days to explore the parks. Plan to arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes ahead of opening so you are one of the first to enter the park (arrive an hour and 30 minutes early to park if you are driving). We suggest visiting the highest priority rides in the morning when waits are lowest. During the initial reopening phase at Disneyland® Resort, some services or benefits may be temporarily unavailable, as well as other entertainment and experiences (such as traditional character greetings). However, as of July 4, 2021, Mickey’s Mix Magic is back! Single Rider lines for popular attractions have returned, character cavalcades are popping up and modified character dining experiences are slowly coming back toDisneyland ® Resort. Additional experiences and rides may also be modified or temporarily unavailable during this time. There are several things to take into consideration that could affect your park plan: • Your callback time for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance or WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure • Virtual queues for other attractions (when in use) • If you have reservations for restaurants or experiences, such as Savi’s Workshop • Ride closures • Park hours/crowd levels • Weather • Your own personal interests and ages, heights and interests of children Disneyland® Park and Disney California Adventure® Park Single Rider Attractions: Single Rider lines are an excellent choice for those guests who don’t mind splitting up their party in exchange for a shorter wait time.
