  • Gold Deposits Near Quartzsite, Arizona
    GOLD DEPOSITS NEAR QUARTZSITE, ARIZONA. By EDWARD L. JONES, Jr. INTRODUCTION. This report is based on information obtained by the writer in April and May, 1914,. while he was classifying the lands in the Colorado River Indian Reservation. The area considered includes the south­ ern part of the reservation and the region extending eastward from the reservation to the Plomosa Mountains. The geology and ore deposits within the reservation were more particularly studied, the time allotted to the examination being too short to permit detailed work in the area farther east. For information concerning placers outside the reservation the writer is indebted to Mr. E. L. Du- fourcq, who conducted the testing of placer .ground near Quartz- site. Mr. W. W. McCoy, of San Bernardino, kindly furnished the early history of the La Paz district, and Mr. Edward Beggs, of Quartzsite, gave much useful information regarding the La Paz placers. In 1909 Howland Bancroft x made a geologic reconnaissance of northern Yuma County .and much of the country around Quartz- site and farther west to the reservation line. In his report he men­ tions the La Paz district and briefly describes placers in the Plomosa Mountains and prospects on gold-bearing quartz veins in the vicinity of Quartzsite. The map that accompanies the present report (PI. IV) is compiled from the records of the General Land Office. The area within the reservation has been subdivided into sections; the land east of the reservation is unsurveyed. The mountainous areas in the reserva­ tion are indicated on this map by patterns showing the geologic rock formations; the mountains in the unsurveyed area are repre­ sented approximately by hachures.

YAVAPAI PHONOLOGY AND DICTIONARY by Alan Shaterian ABSTRACT This work will preserve the fundamental facts about the Yavapai language, the most evanescent of the Pai group of Yuman languages, a linguistic family which in its vari­ ety of members and geographic distribution is analagous to the Germanic family as of five centuries ago. The dis­ sertation explores the relationship between the pattern of speech sounds and the shape of words in Yavapai. It de­ scribes the phonology, morphology, and a part of the lex­ icon in a format which is accessible to linguists of varied theoretical backgrounds. It is the speech of Chief Grace Jimulla Mitchell (1903-1976), a speaker of the Prescott subdialect of North­ eastern Yavapai, that forms the basis of the description. The research necessary for this undertaking was spon­ sored in part by the Survey of California and Other Indian Languages at the University of California at Berkeley. The Introduction surveys the field of Yavapai and Pai studies and places them within the deeper perspective of 1 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

  • Writing Irataba: on Representing Native Americans on Wikipedia
    AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST Writing Irataba: On Representing Native Americans on Wikipedia Magnus Pharao Hansen ABSTRACT Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, is simultaneously an experiment in anarchic knowledge production and a realization of the long dream of modernity: storing all human knowledge. It is also a battleground for the politics of representation and for creating and circulating realities and “Wikialities.” I ethno- graphically describe how Wikipedians, most of whom are white Anglo-Americans, negotiate the representation of Native Americans as objects of encyclopedic knowledge and how the sins of our anthropological forebears come back to haunt us in this process. In 2015, I participated in the collaborative writing of the article on Irataba or Yara tav, who was an important leader of the Mohave people of California and Arizona in the late 19th century. This process brought representational dilemmas to the fore in the negotiation between the inadequacies of historical and anthropological knowledge and Wikipedia’s policies establishing how to authorize and re-represent narratives. These dilemmas point out to us, as 21st-century anthropologists, that we have a responsibility for being the stewards of the knowledge created by anthropologists past as well as for correcting their mistakes and guiding the global public of readers and writers when they make forays into our traditional territories. [Wikipedia, representation of Native Americans, public anthropology, history of anthropology] RESUMEN Wikipedia, la enciclopedia en lınea´ que cualquiera puede editar, es simultaneamente´ un experimento en la produccion´ anarquica´ de conocimiento y una realizacion´ del largo sueno˜ de modernidad: almacenar todo el conocimiento humano.
