George Woodcock's Peoples of the Coast: a Review Article* ROBERT D
George Woodcock's Peoples of the Coast: A Review Article* ROBERT D. LEVINE AND PETER L. MAGNAIR The appearance of George Woodcock's Peoples of the Coast ought to be a source of dismay for social scientists throughout the Northwest — and beyond the Northwest as well, for the willingness of publishers to print such volumes is certainly not confined to this one region. Woodcock's survey of cultures and culture categories on the Northwest Coast is one of the worst discussions of this subject matter available. Thus the need still exists for a non-technical book on Native peoples of the Coast, written for an intelligent lay audience willing to read with thought and care, synthe sizing the knowledge gained by investigators during the past century. Some of the finest fieldworkers in the history of North American ethnology carried out their best research in the Pacific Northwest: Franz Boas, Frederica de Laguna, Viola Garfield, John Swanton and Erna Gunther. Much of this work has been inaccessible to the non-specialist both because of the relative rareness of the original publications outside university libraries and because of the technical difficulty of the publications them selves, whose authors recorded, in minute detail, the tremendous com plexity of coastal societies. A summary and integration of the incredible mass of information we currently possess — and the questions which are still open and seriously debated — obviously would be very welcome. It is impossible for Woodcock's book to fulfill this role. Peoples of the Coast is so shot through with basic errors of fact and major misinterpre tations that another fair-sized volume would be required to list and discuss them all. -

This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protect- ing our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for enjoyment of life Athrough outdoor recreation. The Cultural Resource Programs of the National Park Service have respon- sibilities that include stewardship of historic buildings, museum collections, archaeological sites, cultural landscapes, oral and written histories, and ethno- graphic resources. Our mission is to identify, evaluate, and preserve the cultural resources of the park areas and to bring an understanding of these resources to the public.

78 UNIVERSITY ANTHROPOLOGY: EARLY1DEPARTMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES John F. Freeman Paper read before the Kroeber Anthropological Society April 25, 1964, Berkeley, California I. The Conventional View Unlike other social sciences, anthropology prides itself on its youth, seeking its paternity in Morgan, Tylor, Broca, and Ratzel, its childhood in the museum and its maturity in the university. While the decades after 1850 do indeed suggest that a hasty marriage took place between Ethnology, or the study of the races of mankind conceived as divinely created, and Anthropology, or the study of man as part of the zoological world; the marriage only symbol- ized the joining of a few of the tendencies in anthropology and took place much too late to give the child an honest name. When George Grant MacCurdy claimed in 1899 that "Anthropology has matured late," he was in fact only echoing the sentiments of the founders of the Anthropological Societies of Paris (Paul Broca) and London (James Hunt), who in fostering the very name, anthropology, were urging that a science of man depended upon prior develop- ments of other sciences. MacCurdy stated it In evolutionary terms as "man is last and highest in the geological succession, so the science of man is the last and highest branch of human knowledge'" (MacCurdy 1899:917). Several disciples of Franz Boas have further shortened the history of American anthropology, arguing that about 1900 anthropology underwent a major conversion. Before that date, Frederica de Laguna tells us, "anthropologists [were] serious-minded amateurs or professionals in other disciplines who de- lighted in communicating-across the boundaries of the several natural sci- ences and the humanities, [because] museums, not universities, were the cen- ters of anthropological activities, sponsoring field work, research and publication, and making the major contributions to the education of profes- sional anthropologists, as well as serving the general public" (de Laguna 1960:91, 101). -

Gladys Reichard's
Gladys Reichard’s ear Nancy Mattina Prescott College Abstract: The first scientific grammar of a Salishan language was written by Gladys Amanda Reichard (1893–1955). As this year the International Conference on Salish and Neighbouring Languages celebrates its fiftieth anniversary, the author wishes to acknowledge the sixtieth anniversary of Reichard’s death in simultaneous tribute. Keywords: Gladys Amanda Reichard, Coeur d’Alene, Interior Salishan 1 Introduction Sixty years ago this summer Professor Gladys Reichard was not in Salish country when death came knocking. She was living in the southeast corner of Diné Biyékah, the Navajo homeland, within sight of the snow-tipped San Francisco peaks on the wooded campus of the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff. Since 1939, Reichard had made MNA, a privately funded center for the study of the archaeology, biota, and cultures of the Colorado Plateau region, her institutional summer home. She loved MNA and Flagstaff well enough that she had already selected one of four homesites being developed on MNA property on which to build a house. She was three years away from retirement from Barnard College where she had been the only tenured faculty member (and chair) in the department of Anthropology for over thirty years. The first stroke hit the day after her sixty-second birthday. She was rushed from the tiny Washington Matthews cabin where she customarily stayed to nearby Flagstaff Medical Center. With her sister Lilian at her side, Reichard died there a week later on July 25, 1955. Carl Voegelin, past president of the Linguistic Society of America and first successor to Franz Boas as editor of the International Journal of American Linguistics, was one of Reichard’s pallbearers. -

Historically, anthropologists resembled what Renato Rosaldo (1989) characterized as the “Lone Ethnographer” riding off into the sunset in search of the “native.” Today, those so-called natives are vigorously gazing and talking back as students, professors, and attentive audiences, with palpable implications for how anthropology is practiced. -

Genre, Methodology and Feminist Practice Gladys Reichard’S Ethnographic Voice
Genre, Methodology and Feminist Practice Gladys Reichard’s ethnographic voice Lessie Jo Frazier University of Michigan The rainy season is not quite over although it has nearly spent itself. I drive leisurely along five miles of roller coaster highway, down and up, up and down again as I drink in the grandeur of the sunset. I come to the ’big hill’, around and over which the road twines narrowly. From its summit I see at my left a deep purple canyon, green at the bottom with irrigated fields. At my right the sun is setting across a wide valley, the shadows replaced by roseate gold interrupted by the white resplendence of chalk cliffs. As if this were not sufficient, a light female rain like that which falls constantly over the home of the Corn gods, drops between me and the sun. I gasp in my inability to comprehend the sight fully as I turn my head forty-five degrees to behold a complete rainbow and behind it the thinnest slice of a new moon. (Gladys Reichard, 1934:122) Introduction: approaches and themes In this essay, I read and discuss Gladys Reichard as an author of feminist ethnography - not in order to define or bound her place in anthropology, but rather to attempt to approach her work from a particular, critical perspective. In this effort I concentrate on two of Reichard’s most accessible and popular works of the 1930s, Spider Woman: A Story of Navajo Weavers and Chanters (1934) and Dezba, Woman of the Desert (1939). Through an examination of Reichard’s work, I discuss the relationship between issues of genre, methodology (see Harding, 1987) and ethnography as feminist practice.
