  • A World Revealed by Language: a New Seri Dictionary and Unapologetic Speculations on Seri Indian Deep History

    A World Revealed by Language: a New Seri Dictionary and Unapologetic Speculations on Seri Indian Deep History

    A World Revealed by Language: A New Seri Dictionary and Unapologetic Speculations on Seri Indian Deep History JIM HILLS AND DAVID YETMAN Comcáac quih Yaza quih Hant Ihíip hac: Diccionario Seri-Español- Ingles, compiled by Mary Beck Moser and Stephen A. Marlett. Illustrated by Cathy Moser Marlett. Published by Plaza y Valdés Editores, Mexico City. 947 pages. ISBN: 970–722–453–3. The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein once mentioned that to imagine a language was to imagine a form of life (Wittgenstein 1953: 19). A comprehensive dictionary of any language exemplifies Wittgenstein’s point, but none more than the trilingual dictionary of the Seri language compiled by Mary Beck Moser and Steven Marlett. The work represents more than fifty years of research and over thirty years of living with the Seris in El Desemboque, Sonora, Mexico, in connection with the Summer Institute of Linguistics of the Wycliffe Bible Translators. The entries are in Seri, Spanish, and English, making the work of value to speakers of all three languages. The roughly six hundred Seris are already using the dictionary. Outsiders visiting them would be well advised to use it as well. The authors included Seri consultants at every step of the compilation. Seris reviewed the entries, suggesting changes and additions. Part of the dictionary’s usefulness lies in its incorporation not merely of single-word or phrase translations, but also of sentences or short paragraphs typically generated by Seris. This is critically important, since meanings are frequently so complex that a simple word-by-word translation simply will not do. As Moser and Marlett have realized, JIM HILLS is a longtime Seri hand and trader in Tucson, Arizona.

    Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Complex

    Appendix J Cultural Setting - Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Complex Appendix J: Cultural Setting - Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Complex The following sections describe the cultural setting in and around the two refuges that constitute the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Complex (NWRC) - Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWR and Coachella Valley NWR. The cultural resources associated with these Refuges may include archaeological and historic sites, buildings, structures, and/or objects. Both the Imperial Valley and the Coachella Valley contain rich archaeological records. Some portions of the Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWRC have previously been inventoried for cultural resources, while substantial additional areas have not yet been examined. Seventy-seven prehistoric and historic sites, features, or isolated finds have been documented on or within a 0.5- mile buffer of the Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWR and Coachella Valley NWR. Cultural History The outline of Colorado Desert culture history largely follows a summary by Jerry Schaefer (2006). It is founded on the pioneering work of Malcolm J. Rogers in many parts of the Colorado and Sonoran deserts (Rogers 1939, Rogers 1945, Rogers 1966). Since then, several overviews and syntheses have been prepared, with each succeeding effort drawing on the previous studies and adding new data and interpretations (Crabtree 1981, Schaefer 1994a, Schaefer and Laylander 2007, Wallace 1962, Warren 1984, Wilke 1976). The information presented here was compiled by ASM Affiliates in 2009 for the Service as part of Cultural Resources Review for the Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWRC. Four successive periods, each with distinctive cultural patterns, may be defined for the prehistoric Colorado Desert, extending back in time over a period of at least 12,000 years.

Several million years ago a long arm of the Pacific Ocean extended from the Gulf of California though the present Imperial and Coachella valleys, then northwesterly through the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys. Mountain ranges rose on either side of this great inland sea, and the whole area came up out of the water. Oyster beds in the San Felipe Mountains, on the west side of Imperial Valley are located many hundreds of feet above present sea level.

    Missions of the Camino Real: Timucua and the Colonial System of Spanish Florida

    Missions of the Camino Real: Timucua and the Colonial System of Spanish Florida John E. Worth Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Atlanta Paper presented at the annual conference of the American Historical Association, Seattle, January 8-11, 1998. 1 Prior to European contact during the 16th century, the interior of present-day northern peninsular Florida and deep southeastern Georgia was home to a handful of autonomous aboriginal chiefdoms within the broad and internally diverse linguistic and cultural grouping known by modern researchers as the Timucuan Indians. By last quarter of the 17th century, however, aboriginal populations in this same region either had been reduced to a chain of small mission towns along the primary road through the Spanish colonial administrative district known as the Timucua province, or had aggregated as fugitives in several remote areas beyond effective Spanish control. When repeated English-sponsored raids forced the final retreat of Spanish- allied Indians during the first decade of the 18th-century, the human remnants of these interior Timucuan chiefdoms became neighbors of the huddled Spanish community at St. Augustine, and ultimately resettled in Cuba as members of the late 18th-century Spanish colonial world. The process by which the initial stages of this massive transformation occurred is known broadly as missionization, and has been the subject of considerable research not only in the southeastern United States, but also across the European colonial world of the modern (post- 1492) era.
