Natural mummification occurred in the dry areas ofNorth America, where mummies have been recovered from rock shelters, caves, and over­ hangs. In these places, corpses desiccated and spontaneously mummified. In North America, mummies are recovered from four main regions: the south­ ern and southwestern United States, the Aleutian Islands, and the Ozark Mountains ofArkansas.

The proposed action addresses NOAA’s responsibilities under the NMSA to identify, designate, and protect areas of the marine and Great Lakes environment with special national significance due to their conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural, archaeological, educational, or aesthetic qualities as national marine sanctuaries. ONMS has developed five alternatives for the designation, and the DEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of each under NEPA. The DEIS also serves as a resource assessment under the NMSA, documenting present and potential uses of the areas considered in the alternatives.

    Toward a Dakota Literary Tradition: Examining Dakota Literature through the Lens of Critical Nationalism by Sarah Raquel Hernandez B.A., University of Colorado at Boulder, 2001 M.A., University of Colorado at Boulder, 2005 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English 2016 This thesis entitled: Toward a Dakota Literary Tradition: Examining Dakota Literature through the Lens of Critical Nationalism written by Sarah Raquel Hernandez has been approved for the Department of English Penelope Kelsey, Committee Chair Cheryl Higashida, Committee Member Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we Find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards Of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. Abstract Hernandez, Sarah Raquel (Ph.D., English) Toward a Dakota Literary Tradition: Examining Dakota Literature through the Lens of Critical Nationalism Thesis Directed by Professor Penelope Kelsey Dakota literature is often regarded as an extinct and thus irrelevant oral storytelling tradition by EuroAmerican, and at times, Dakota people. This dissertation disputes this dominant view and instead argues that the Dakota oral storytelling tradition is not extinct, but rather has been reimagined in a more modern form as print literature. In this dissertation, I reconstruct a genealogy of the Dakota literary tradition that focuses primarily (but not exclusively) upon the literary history of the Santee Dakota from 1836 to present by analyzing archival documents – Dakota orthographies, Dakota mythologies, and personal and professional correspondences – to better understand how this tradition has evolved from an oral to a written form.

  • The Development of a Statewide Strategic Plan
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STATEWIDE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR ADVANCING STUDENT ENVIRONMENTAL LITERACY IN WISCONSIN’S PREKINDERGARTEN THROUGH TWELFTH GRADE SCHOOLS. By Jesse D. Haney Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements of the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Resource Management – Environmental Education / Interpretation College of Natural Resouces UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN Stevens Point, Wisconsin December 2011 APPROVED BY THE GRADUATE COMMITTEE OF: Dr. Randy Champeau Director, Wisconsin Center for Envi,ronmental Education Associate Dean, College of Natural Resources ,,;:I r- (V ,__.,/4dl /1'.IA& ~ ( Dj I Dr. Jennie Lane u /ector, Wisconsin K-12 Energy Education Program ii ABSTRACT Children are spending more time indoors using electronic media and less time outdoors than ever before. Studies show that this shift to a more indoor and sedentary lifestyle is having dramatic health effects on the mental and physical well-being of young people. Research also indicates that time spent learning and playing outdoors can produce health benefits for children such as reducing incidence of obesity, reducing symptoms of ADHD, and reducing stress in general. Education for environmental literacy provides students the opportunity to learn outdoors and develop the understandings needed to be healthy adults, active citizens, and environmental stewards. Integration of this education links outdoor experiences and environmental learning with the standards schools already teach. This approach also adds local relevance to help students connect to the places in which they live and learn. Using a form of action research called collaborative inquiry, the researcher led a process to determine (1) what is needed to increase the environmental literacy of Wisconsin PK-12 students and provide more opportunities to learn outdoors, (2) which strategies can address these needs, as well as (3) who would carry out these strategies.

  • Myth and Model. the Pattern of Migration, Settlement, and Reclamation of Land in Central Mexico and Oaxaca
    Myth and Model. The Pattern of Migration, Settlement, and Reclamation of Land in Central Mexico and Oaxaca Viola König Ethnologisches Museum – Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Berlin, Germany [email protected] Abstract: A comparison of the documentation in the pre-Hispanic and early colonial pic- torials and written texts from Central Mexico, Oaxaca and in between, shows parallels and a specic model for the settlement and the legitimation of land ownership. Migration from a mythic place of origin is followed by choice of the new homeland, which is ocially conrmed by the act of inauguration, i.e. a New Fire ceremony. Population growth leads to either the abandonment of a village or exodus of smaller groups, thus starting a new migration. e same procedure begins. e Mixtecs started as early as in the Classic period to migrate to Teotihuacan and later to Mexico Tenochtitlan as immigrant workers. ey were the rst to leave their Mixtec home- land in the 1970ies traveling to the USA and Canada. Today, Mixtec communities can be found in Manhattan and all over California. Keywords: migration; settlement; land ownership; Mixtec codices; pre-Hispanic and early colonial periods. Resumen: Una comparación de la documentación en los textos pictóricos y escritos pre- hispánicos y coloniales tempranos del centro de México, Oaxaca y las regiones intermedias, muestra paralelos y revela un modelo especíco para los procesos de asentamiento y la legi- timación de la propiedad de la tierra. La migración desde un lugar de origen mítico es seguida por la elección de un nuevo lugar de asentamiento, conrmada por un acto de inauguración, es decir, la ceremonia del Fuego Nuevo.
