The Tri-State Geological Field Conference was founded in 1933 as an informal geological field trip for professionals and students in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. The first Tri-State examined the LaSalle Anticline in Illinois. Fifty-two geologists from the University of Chicago, University of Iowa, University of Illinois, Northwestern University, University of Wisconsin, Northern Illinois State Teachers College, Western Illinois Teachers College, and the Illinois State Geological Survey attended that trip (Anderson, 1980). The 1934 field conference was hosted by the University of Wisconsin and the 1935 by the University of Iowa, establishing the rotation between the three states. The 1947 Tri-State visited quarries at Hamilton Mound and High Cliff, two of the stops on this year’s field trip.

The main objectives are to learn timing and rhythm, how to move with the beat of the drum, and how to showcase space and symmetry with the body. Students with previous experience in Aboriginal Dance may choose to focus on their style of choice, such as jingle dress style or fancy dance style. Terrance's Hoop Dancing will also be showcased with a performance! As a dancer from Saskatchewan, Terrance will share how his dances are specific to the First Nations people of our province. This program is suited not only for Arts Education but Physical Education as well. Please see page 2 for a Pre-Broadcast Activity, and pages 6-18 for a selection of Teacher Guided Post-Broadcast Activities. These activities will give students the opportunity to apply what they have learned during the broadcast and to further their learning.

    Wisconsin's Door Peninsula and Its Geomorphology

    WISCONSIN'S DOOR PENINSULA AND ITS GEOMORPHOLOGY Howard De II er AGS Collection, UW-Mllwaukee and Paul Stoelting University of Wisconsin-La Crosse The Door Peninsula of Wisconsin is one of the premier tourist regions of the American r~iddle West. According to a recent geography of Wisconsin (Vogeler et al 1986,8) , the region is best known for its picturesque sea­ scape, New England-style architecture, fish boils, and cherry orchards. Among geomorphologists, however, the region is known for the great variety of land­ form types and for the complex and changing geomorphological processes which have operated in the peninsula. Towering bluffs, sand dunes, lake terraces, abandoned beach ridges, swampy lowlands, and drumlin fields are only some of the many types of landforms to be found in the peninsula. Indeed, the region can be viewed as a unique geomorphological laboratory and an excellent example for classroom study. In this short paper an attempt is made to describe and analyze some of the more prominent landform features of the peninsula and the processes which have influenced their formation. LOCATION AND GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The Door Peninsula, located In northeastern Wisconsin. is part of the Eastern Ridges and Lowlands province of the state. The peninsula extends in a northeasterly direction into Lake Michigan to separate Green Bay on the west from the main body of Lake Michigan on the east. The peninsula is approximately 64 miles long and about 26 miles wide on its southern end, between the mouth of the Fox River and the city of Kewaunee on Lake Michigan (Map I).
  • Ocated on the Omaha Reservation

    Ocated on the Omaha Reservation

    http://jackalopearts.org/othrp.htm ocated on the Omaha Reservation, the Omaha Tribal Historical Research Project, Inc. (OTHRP) is the cultural authority for the Omaha by Tribal Resolution [law.] As such we have been active since the mid 1970s when Dennis Hastings returned L from California to his home reservation in Nebraska and began working to restore the Omaha culture and language. Hastings started his work with Paul Brill collecting tribal genealogies and information regarding clan kinship systems and clan names using both oral histories and archival information. In 1982 Joan Mark, Peabody Museum, was researching the papers and works of Dr. Francis La Flesche, Esq. and a friendship was quickly established between Mark and Hastings. This friendship became very useful when she assisted the Tribe in reestablishing relations with the Peabody Museum when the Omaha asked for the return of their Sacred Pole and sacred artifacts in 1989. OTHRP coordinated the Omaha Tribal Council's work with the staff of the Peabody Museum for the return of all the sacred artifacts held by the museum. Their return involved special agreements with the Great Plains Studies and the Museum at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, until such time the Tribe could assume possession by the completion of its own museum, New Moon Moving. Significant among these artifacts was the Sacred Pole, symbolizing the unity of the people. In 1985 Indiana University (IU) and the Library of Congress' American Folklife Center (AFC) joined together with Hastings upon a traditional Omaha music project with wax cylinders in order to reintroduce Omaha music in conjunction with Dorothy Sarah Lee, IU, and Dr.
