Boomtown Attitudes and Perceptions Non-Renewable Energy Extraction Regions Boomtown Attitudes and Perceptions Non-renewable Energy Extraction Regions: North Dakota, U.S.A., Oil Shale and Alberta, Canada, Oil Sands A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School Of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D.) in the Department of Geography of the College of Arts and Sciences 2017 By Mary D. Raycraft B.S., University of Cincinnati, 2009 B.A., University of Cincinnati, 2009 M.S., University of Cincinnati, 2010 M.A., University of Cincinnati, 2011 Committee: Roger Selya, Ph.D., Chair Robert South, Ph.D. Kevin Raleigh, Ph.D. Sandra Browning, Ph.D. ii Abstract Advances in extractive technology have facilitated the ability to obtain the non-renewable energy, oil sands, and oil shale resources. In this dissertation, the social impacts experienced in the Athabasca region of Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB), Alberta, Canada and the Bakken Play in western North Dakota, U.S.A will be explored. This is a multi-site, multi- cultural, and multinational study that compares the responses from these rural geographically diverse regions. A questionnaire was completed by the 95 respondents that participated in this study; 40 from RMWB and 39 from different locations throughout the Bakken Play. In addition, 16 Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation (MAH) enrolled members from Fort Berthold Indian Reservations (Three Affiliated Tribes) were included as well. An interview followed the completion of the questionnaires. The resultant mixed methods approach captured their demographic data, socioeconomic, attitudes, perceptions, subjective well-being, and community attachment in the boomtown environment. Although RMWB and the Bakken Play have experienced energy booms in the past, drilling had not occurred on the sovereign lands on Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. In addition, this dissertation will also review the use of social impact assessments (SIA) in Canada (CEPA 1999) and the United States (NEPA 1977) in relation to lessening the impacts in energy resource communities. It is the hope that this research will add to the existing body of work will contribute to understanding the social impacts within a boomtown community. Keywords: oil shale, oil sands, word cloud, mixed methods, boomtown iii iv Acknowledgements Like most individuals that have reached the pinnacle of education, I have many professors, family, and numerous friends who were more than patient, supportive and, most of all pushy to further my education. To everyone, thank you. To my academic family, whose fields of interest and research are as diverse as they are. To my geography family: Roger Selya, Ph.D. who has traveled the very bumpy road of my personal and academic life. He has been my friend, teacher, confidant, and cheerleader in all things. I am grateful to Kevin Raleigh, Ph.D., who made my brain sweat, was helpful, and thoughtful, and showed me how philosophy could be fun-- yes, fun. To Robert South, Ph.D., always up for a quick chat thoughtful discussion, and of course, a dear friend. To my criminal justice family: Roger Wright, J.D.-- someone whom I could bounce ideas and have thoughtful discussions. Finally, Sandra Browning, Ph.D., who was not only an inspiring professor but who has also become a dear friend. These five individuals are not the only members of my academic family but are those who have ridden alongside, behind, and in front of me at various times. Without them, the culmination of this work could not have happened. To the amazing undergraduate and graduate students – Amber, Teri, Beth, Julia, Kevin, Kat, Katie, Alex, Deb, JP, Ben, Thushara, and Carlos, the list goes on and on, they have helped me in so many ways – thank you so very much. The long road traveled, as has been said so many times, could not have been possible without the love and support of my parents Tom and Mary and my children Christopher and Marisa. To my sisters Laura, Elizabeth, and Marsha, love, and thanks to you – all of who have traveled down this road with me. To my North Dakota family Kevin McKibbage and Harold and v Linda Narnum, whose kindness and friendship was unwavering. Finally, to John, who has been a sounding board, cheerleader and made me tea when I could not. There have been so many individuals whose path I have crossed and to whom I owe so very much. To these individuals and those above, thank you from the bottom of my heart. “… geography...know by heart a whole gazetteer full of them would not, in itself, constitute anyone a geographer. Geography has higher aims than this: it seeks to classify phenomena (alike of the natural and of the political world, in so far as it treats of the latter), to compare, to generalize, to ascend from effects to causes, and, in doing so, to trace out the laws of nature and to mark their influences upon man. This is 'a description of the world'—that is Geography. In a word, Geography is a Science—a thing not of mere names but of argument and reason, of cause and effect” William Hughes, 1863 in Baker, J.N.L.

  • Hoosiers and the American Story Chapter 5
    Reuben Wells Locomotive The Reuben Wells Locomotive is a fifty-six ton engine named after the Jeffersonville, Indiana, mechanic who designed it in 1868. This was no ordinary locomotive. It was designed to carry train cars up the steepest rail incline in the country at that time—in Madison, Indi- ana. Before the invention of the Reuben Wells, trains had to rely on horses or a cog system to pull them uphill. The cog system fitted a wheel to the center of the train for traction on steep inclines. You can now see the Reuben Wells at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. You can also take rides on historic trains that depart from French Lick and Connersville, Indiana. 114 | Hoosiers and the American Story 2033-12 Hoosiers American Story.indd 114 8/29/14 10:59 AM 5 The Age of Industry Comes to Indiana [The] new kind of young men in business downtown . had one supreme theory: that the perfect beauty and happiness of cities and of human life was to be brought about by more factories. — Booth Tarkington, The Magnificent Ambersons (1918) Life changed rapidly for Hoosiers in the decades New kinds of manufacturing also powered growth. after the Civil War.

This was a time of robberies, range wars and Indian wars in the wide open spaces of the West. Gradually, the forces of law and order caught up with the lawbreakers, while the US army defeated the Plains Indians.

Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp (March 19, 1848 – January 13, 1929) was an American frontiersman who appears frequently in a variety of well known stories of the American West, especially in notorious "Wild West" towns such as Dodge City, Kansas and Tombstone, Arizona. A hunter, businessman, gambler, and lawman, he worked in a wide variety of trades throughout his life.
