For more information on membership levels and benefits, please visit www.mvmuseum.org To Our Readers his issue of the Dukes County Intelligencer is remarkable in its diver- Tsity. Our lead story comes from frequent contributor Chris Baer, who writes a swashbuckling narrative of two of the Vineyard’s most adventur- ous, daring — and quirky — characters, George Cleveland and George Fred Tilton, whose arctic legacies continue to this day. Our second story came about when Florence Obermann Cross suggested to a gathering of old friends that they write down their childhood memories of shared summers on the Lagoon. The result is a collective recollection of cottages without electricity or water; good neighbors; artistic and intellectual inspiration; sailing, swimming and long-gone open views. This is a slice of Oak Bluffs history beyond the more well-known Cottage City and Campground stories. Finally, the Museum’s chief curator, Bonnie Stacy, has reminded us that 75 years ago the ’38 hurricane, the mother of them all, was unannounced and deadly, even here on Martha’s Vineyard. — Susan Wilson, editor THE DUKES COUNTY INTELLIGENCER VOL. 55, NO. 1 © 2013 WINTER 2013 Left Behind: George Cleveland, George Fred Tilton and the Last Whaler to Hudson Bay by Chris Baer ......................................................................................

Silva Charles R. Hale David Wilkins Roberta Hill Juan de Dios Yapita Narrating Native Histories aims to foster a rethinking of the ethical, methodological, and conceptual frameworks within which we locate our work on Native histories and cultures. We seek to create a space for effective and ongoing conversations between North and South, Natives and non- Natives, academics and activists, throughout the Americas and the Pacific region. This series encourages analyses that contribute to an understanding of Native peoples’ relationships with nation- states, including histo- ries of expropriation and exclusion as well as projects for autonomy and sovereignty. We encourage collaborative work that recognizes Native intellectuals, cultural inter- preters, and alternative knowledge producers, as well as projects that question the relationship between orality and literacy. skin for skin DEATH AND LIFE FOR INUIT AND INNU GERALD M.

Our voyages explore the northern and eastern most reaches of our country dropping into friendly communities and witnessing vast space and grandeur. Five voyages explore six unique and vibrant re- gions, Greenland, Nunavut, Nunavik, Nunatsiavut, Newfoundland and Labrador. Throughout the course of our programming we will examine the people, the geography and the cultural richness of each different region. 2009 is a year of note and of special significance for Arctic travellers. It marks the 10th anniversary of the creation of Nunavut – the newest Canadian territory. Woven into the fabric of our programming will be an examination of the Territory, its objectives & achievements thus far. A key element will be the increased visibility of Inuit stewardship of the land including issues of global warming, hunting and wildlife conservation. We are fortunate to have a number of Inuit resource staff who have experienced this transition period and who can share their insights as we make our way through the famed Northwest Passage. Along the coast of Labrador next year, Adventure Canada is thrilled to present a new concept in expeditionary cruising. Our Atlantic Arts Float will, in addition to our usual resource staff compliment, have additional writers, photographers, artists and musicians.

  • North America
    World Archaeology at the Pitt Rivers Museum: A Characterization edited by Dan Hicks and Alice Stevenson, Archaeopress 2013, page 409-454 20 North America Dan Hicks and Michael D. Petraglia 20.1 Introduction On entering the main entrance of the Pitt Rivers Museum (PRM) and descending the stairs into the Court, the visitor comes face-to-face with a central display case titled ‘Pottery from North America’.1 Looking down on the case and the visitor, the 11-metre high Haida House Pole stands against the east wall of the Museum (1901.39.1). But as well as these iconic Native American objects, the PRM holds a wide, varied collection of ethnographic, photographic and archaeological material from North America, some of which is displayed in the galleries, but most of which is held in storerooms. The archaeological collections come from across the United States, Canada and Greenland, from the Canadian Arctic to the southwestern deserts of the USA, and they span the entire length of the Holocene, from the Palaeoindian period and into the colonial period. There are c. 4,930 objects recorded as from North America that are currently defined as ‘archaeological’. Of these, c. 3,627 are from the USA (Table 20.1), c. 720 from Canada (Table 20.2), and c. 125 from Greenland. The remaining 435 objects are currently recorded only as ‘North America’, although further documentary research (especially for those objects transferred from the Ashmolean Museum) may provide further detail for these objects. As with other chapters, the definition of what might count as ‘archaeological’ or ‘ethnographic’ (and what has done in the past) is far from clear-cut.
