Along with expansion into forest areas outside the existing Special Use permit boundaries, the proposed plan includes new buildings, parking lots, lifts, ski runs, and snowmaking within the existing ski area boundary. The ethnographic assessment concentrates on those cultural resources known to be in the area, as identified by Pueblo participants in the research study. As stated in the Scope of Work provided by Sno- engineering, this project had three objectives: a) what impact would the project have on the traditional uses, cultural uses, values, and belief practices of Tesuque Pueblo and other Pueblos' uses of the area; b) how would the ski area expansion affect the traditional use area of the Tesuque Pueblo and other Pueblos; and c) what specific areas of traditional cultural use, including those of Hispanic origin, would be affected by the proposed alternatives. This ethnographic assessment builds on previous project -related research (Woods, O'Brien, and Friedman 1989; Woods and O'Brien 1989; Lang 1989; Viklund 1985). This is a process called tiering and is recommended in environmental impact assessment (EIS) guidelines. Tiering permits the EIS to contain environmental impact findings produced during earlier studies of the project proposal, such as at the Environmental Assessment stage. Tiering reduces redundant research, assures that all pertinent research is included in the EIS, and permits the EIS to contain more project -specific information and conclusions. The study area for this project included the existing Santa Fe Ski Area (see Map 1), plus all the proposed expansion acreage. The Santa Fe National Forest, which encompasses the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, administers all the land included in the study area. These mountains separate the eastern plains from the Rio Grande Valley. The Santa Fe Ski Area is located on the west slope of the Sangre de Cristos approximately 20 miles to the northeast of Santa Fe. The elevation within the study area ranges from 10,000 to over 12,000 feet. Included in the study area were Aspen Basin, Aspen Peak, Lake Peak, Nambe Lake, Santa Fe Lake, and the drainages formed by the North Fork of Tesuque Creek, the Santa Fe River, and the Rio en Medio. Project Participants At the beginning of the study, the research team (see Appendix One) contacted 22 American Indian tribes including all 19 Pueblos, the Jicarilla Apache Tribe, the Mescalero Apache Tribe, and the Navajo Tribe, to see if they wanted to participate in the consultation process. A total of seven Pueblo tribes participated in this ethnographic assessment. Appendix Two contains a complete list of the governments and organizations we contacted as part of this study. To protect confidentiality, individuals are not identified in this report. - 1 - During the study we also contacted individuals from the Hispanic community in Santa Fe. Unfortunately, unlike Native American tribes and other communities in the Southwest, there are no easy, one -point contact organizations for Hispanics in the region. Even the individuals we contacted could not say they represented any Hispanic community or that all of their views would even be acceptable to other Hispanic individuals. They also could not point us to organizations, groups, or community networks that could represent Hispanic concerns. Nevertheless, we recorded their thoughts and concerns regarding the Santa Fe Ski Area expansion proposal. The participation by Pueblo people in this study occurred on three different levels. The first level of participation consists of confirming statements of support and agreement for another Pueblo's position. After initial discussions with the study team about the project, Picuris, Santa Clara, San Juan, San Ildefonso, and Taos Pueblos all added verbal confirming statements to the position taken by Tesuque Pueblo in this ethnographic assessment. The second level of participation in this project was the reiteration of previous statements of position or concern. Tesuque Pueblo participated in the previous work of Dames & Moore in 1988 (Woods, O'Brien, and Friedman 1989, Woods and O'Brien 1989). At a meeting with the Governor of Tesuque Pueblo concerning this study, the Governor repeated the Pueblo's position as outlined in the reports for Dames & Moore. The Governor did not think it was appropriate for the Pueblo to offer up any more information than his Pueblo had already given during the Dames & Moore work. The third level of participation in this project was to offer original information and visit the study area, along with making confirmation and support statements regarding other Pueblos' positions. Nambe Pueblo was the only tribe that chose to participate at this level in this ethnographic assessment. Sixteen of the 22 American Indian groups contacted did not make any response to our tribal contact letters and telephone calls. These include 12 Pueblos, the Jicarilla Apache Tribe, the Mescalero Apache Tribe, and the Navajo Nation. The tribes sought to make clear that their participation in presentations, discussions, and site visits should not be interpreted as a sign of support for the project. Furthermore, this is neither a "clearance" document nor an endorsement of the Santa Fe Ski Basin expansion plan alternatives by the Native Americans involved in this ethnographic assessment project. Relevant Federal Legislation and Regulatory Policies Several pieces of federal legislation help provide guidelines for the impact assessment of cultural resources when development projects occur on federal land or use federal funds. These include the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), American Indian Religious Freedom Act (AIRFA) of 1978, the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended in 1988. Each of these pieces of legislation relates in one degree or another to the ethnographic assessment of the proposed expansion of the Santa Fe Ski Area. National Environmental Policy Act The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, PL 91- 190, 40 CFR 1500 et seq.) requires completion of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for any federal action determined to have potentially significant environmental impacts. NEPA encourages the preservation of historic resources and requires consideration of social impacts. A report of the Council of Environmental Quality specifically directs the solicitation of information and participation from affected Indian tribes at the earliest possible time in the NEPA process

  • Topics and Issues in Ethnoentomology with Some Suggestions for the Development of Hypothesis-Generation and Testing in Ethnobiology
    J. Ethnobiol. 6(1):99-120 Summer 1986 TOPICS AND ISSUES IN ETHNOENTOMOLOGY WITH SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HYPOTHESIS-GENERATION AND TESTING IN ETHNOBIOLOGY DARRELL ADDISON POSEY Labotatbrio de Etnobiologia Departamento de Biologia Universidade Federal do Maranhao 65,000 Sao Luiz, Maranhao (Brazil) ABSTRACT.-This paper defines ethnoentornology, briefly traces the history of the field, surveys the literature in major subject areas and offers suggestions for continued research. Hypothesis-generation/testing is suggested as an important 1/ intellectual bridge" to a world science that builds upon knowledge systems of all human societies. Examples are presented. INTRODUCTION Definitions, even for ethnoentomology, are often difficult to formulate, and, once formulated, are usually unsatisfactory. Insight and understanding is sometimes increased through a comparison with a related term or concept, hence the juxtaposition of "cultural entomology" and "ethnoentomology" in the discussion that follows. Cultural entomology treats the influence of insects upon the "essence of humanity as expressed in the arts and humanities" (Hogue 1980). Cultural anthropologists usually restrict their studies to "advanced," industrialized, and literate societies, maintaining that entomological concerns of "primitive" or "noncivilized" societies are in the domain of ethnoentomology. They are principally interested in written forms of cultural expres­ sion and limit their studies to physically recorded sources of literate societies. It is well to note that

  • Intercultural Competence and Skills in the Biology Teachers Training from the Research Procedure of Ethnobiology
    Science Education International 30(4), 310-318 https://doi.org/10.33828/sei.v30.i4.8 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Intercultural Competence and Skills in the Biology Teachers Training from the Research Procedure of Ethnobiology Geilsa Costa Santos Baptista*, Geane Machado Araujo 1Department of Education, State University of Feira de Santana, Feira de Santana City, Bahia State, Brazil, 2Department of Biology, State University of Feira de Santana, Feira de Santana City, Bahia State, Brazil *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT We present and discuss the results of qualitative research based on a case study with biology undergraduate students from a public University of Bahia state, Brazil. The objective was to identify the influence of practical experiences involving ethnobiology applied to science teaching on intercultural dialogue into their initial training. To collect data, undergraduate students were asked to construct narratives revealing the influences of ethnobiology into their training as future teachers. Data were analyzed according to Bardin (1977) and supported by specific literature from the fields of science education and teaching. The thematic categories generated lead us to conclude that the undergraduates of biology teaching made reflections that allowed them to build opinions with meanings that should influence their pedagogical practices with intercultural dialogue. We recommend further studies involving ethnobiology and the training of biology teachers, with a larger sample of participants and the methodological and theoretical procedures of this science. Improvements could be made in biology teacher education curricula that encourage respect and consideration of cultural diversity. We highlight that it is imperative for teacher education courses to generate opportunities for on-site practical experience, in addition to the theory used in the classroom.

  • Hunting Shrines in the Guatemalan Highlands
    J Archaeol Method Theory (2008) 15:300–337 DOI 10.1007/s10816-008-9055-7 Negotiations with the Animate Forest: Hunting Shrines in the Guatemalan Highlands Linda A. Brown & Kitty F. Emery Published online: 10 October 2008 # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2008 Abstract Ethnoarchaeological research at highland Maya hunting shrines docu- ments the material remains of interactions between two types of animate beings: humans and the forest. When either active agent enters the others’ domain there are accompanying ceremonial activities to assuage the inherent danger, often leaving physical traces in the material record. These traces, if found in the archaeological record, might reveal similar ancient interactions. Using the material correlates of modern hunting rituals, we explore the utility of ethnoarchaeological research in identifying negotiations with non-human agents associated with the animate forest – an active agent in many societies. Keywords Maya . Ethnoarchaeology . Hunting ceremonialism . Zooarchaeology Introduction Ethnoarchaeology, the study of modern material remains as analogs for ancient activities, can provide valuable data for inferring agency from the archaeological record. This is particularly true in the case of animistic religious practices, where one or more actors are non-physical entities or material objects not afforded agency in our own culture but active participants in other societies. In the pursuit of evidence for interactions between human and non-human agents, the material remains of repeated ceremonial negotiations are valuable. As these negotiations often occur at the boundaries between agent realms, they physically mark important thresholds where human and non-human actors interact. L. A.

  • An Earthly Cosmology
    Forum on Religion and Ecology Indigenous Traditions and Ecology Annotated Bibliography Abram, David. Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology. New York and Canada: Vintage Books, 2011. As the climate veers toward catastrophe, the innumerable losses cascading through the biosphere make vividly evident the need for a metamorphosis in our relation to the living land. For too long we’ve ignored the wild intelligence of our bodies, taking our primary truths from technologies that hold the living world at a distance. Abram’s writing subverts this distance, drawing readers ever closer to their animal senses in order to explore, from within, the elemental kinship between the human body and the breathing Earth. The shape-shifting of ravens, the erotic nature of gravity, the eloquence of thunder, the pleasures of being edible: all have their place in this book. --------. The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-than-Human World. New York: Vintage, 1997. Abram argues that “we are human only in contact, and conviviality, with what is not human” (p. ix). He supports this premise with empirical information, sensorial experience, philosophical reflection, and the theoretical discipline of phenomenology and draws on Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of perception as reciprocal exchange in order to illuminate the sensuous nature of language. Additionally, he explores how Western civilization has lost this perception and provides examples of cultures in which the “landscape of language” has not been forgotten. The environmental crisis is central to Abram’s purpose and despite his critique of the consequences of a written culture, he maintains the importance of literacy and encourages the release of its true potency.

Biship Tamarón had counted twice as many inhabitants not 20 years before, and the drop in population may have had as much to do with drought and hunger as with the raiding Comanches. Disease also played a part at decimating Pecos, with the smallpox carrying off hundreds of residents. Quote: (1776) The parish books date from the year 1727. Their writs record 200 leaves, but this number does not exist now. There is little missing from the book of Baptisms and the entries seem to be complete. The others have scarcely twenty leaves each, and their entries have been visited frequently by the mice. I remitted these to the archive, which is at the mission of Our Father Santo Domingo (as has been said before.) Three new ones from the supply that came from teh Province remain in Santa Fe so that the mission father there may keep the records in the interval until there is a missionary at Pecos, whose Indians are baptized and married in said villa. With regard to burials, if an Indian dies, the others perform the offices, etc.. Although there is no father [priest], they still know that the children must go to the church daily to recite the catechism with the fiscal.
