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.

  • California Indian Warfare
    47 CALIFORNIA INDIAN WARFARE Steven R. James Suzanne Graziani 49 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TRIBES CENTRAL COAST TRIBES CENTRAL INTERIOR TRIBES SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TRIBES COLORADO RIVER TRIBES DISCUSSION APPENDIX 1 A List of Warfare Encounters Between Tribes ILLUSTRATION Map Showing Names and Territories of California Tribes BIBLIOGRAPHY 51 INTRODUCTION With the exception of the Mohave and the Yuma Indians along the Colorado River, the tribes of California were considered to be peaceful, yet peaceful is an ambiguous word. While there was no large-scale or organized warfare outside the Colorado River area, all tribes seemed to be, at one time or another, engaged in fighting with their neighbors. There was a great deal of feuding between groups (tribelets or villages) within the individual tribes, also. The basic cause for warfare was economic competition, which included trespassing, and poaching, as well as murder. The Mohave and the Yuma, on the other hand, glorified war for itself. The ambiguity of the word "peaceful" is increased by the accounts in the ethnographies. For example, a tribe may be described as being "peaceful;" yet, warfare with certain neighbors was said to be "common." At times, there were actual contradictions in the information concerning tribal warfare and intertribal relationships. Apparently, each California tribe had contact with most of its neighbors, but for the purposes of this paper, we have divided the state into the following five areas of interaction: the Northern tribes, the Central Coast tribes, the Southern tribes, the Central Interior tribes, and tie Colorado River tribes. Within each area, we have attempted to ascertain which tribes were in agreement and which tribes were in conflict, and if the conflicts were chronic.

While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of mov.-^ment during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame.

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.
