  • 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.

  • Native People
    North Cascades National Park l?ETili¥»fcfcM:r.E£l Ross Lake National Recreation Area Lake Chelan National Recreation Area Ross Lake and Lake Chelan U.S. Department of the Interior Native People Indigenous Native people have lived along the Skagit River for many centuries. Many different bands have traditionally occupied the Skagit valley. Today these bands are People represented by the Upper Skagits, the Sauk and Suiattle tribes, and the Swinomish. Archeologists have found evidence that the Upper Skagit band lived in the area now called Ross Lake National Recreation Area at least 8,000 years ago. The archeology of this area tells the story of a people who lived from the land through fishing, hunting, and gathering. The Newhalem area is a known fishing and hunting area as well as the head of canoe travel on the Skagit River. The name "Newhalem" is a corrupted Lushootseed word for "place where the goats are snared." (Lushootseed is the language of the native people around Puget Sound.) In the winter, you can often find the mountain goat on the slopes visible from near the North Cascades Visitor Center near Newhalem. The mountain goat provided wool which was used to make clothing and blankets. Newhalem was also a place for salmon fishing. It is evident each autumn, when the salmon are spawning, why the Upper Skagits chose this area to fish. The archeology that has been done in the North Cascades National Park so far has only scratched the surface of the story of these ancestors. North Newhalem is only one place that has been traditionally used.

  • Manufacturing and Industrial Center Planned Action
    Manufacturing and Industrial Center Planned Action Final Environmental Impact Statement January 2021 Prepared by: BERK Consulting, Inc. Cultural Resource Consultants, LLC Hererra Inc., Environmental Consultants Transpo Group Cover Letter January 11, 2021 Subject: Cascade Industrial Center Planned Action EIS Dear Reader, The Cascade Industrial Center (formerly called the Arlington-Maryville Manufacturing Industrial Center or AMMIC) is a vibrant industrial employment center for the city of Arlington. Given the area’s importance to the local and regional economy, and its desire to keep the center vital and thriving, the City completed a subarea plan that included a vision, and goals and policies for the future. This proposal is to adopt a Planned Action consistent with RCW 43.21c.440 and associated Comprehensive Plan amendments to address necessary capital investments that study implementation of the AMMIC Subarea Plan. The Draft EIS on the proposal was issued on October 1, 2020. The City evaluated three alternatives in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS): . No Action Alternative – The Current Comprehensive Plan and Zoning would be retained and allow modest job increases. Given current market conditions this is likely to reflect existing job sectors in the subarea. Alternative 1: Cascade Center Vision Job Sectors: Alternative 1 is based on the vision for job growth, geographical distribution, and sector mix of the AMMIC Subarea Plan. Higher density employment is anticipated on sites identified as “opportunity sites” in the Subarea Plan and development at existing employment density is anticipated on the remaining sites with development capacity. Employment uses would be designed to take advantage of the area’s natural features, including a relocated Edgecomb Creek.

  • Introduction: Listening to ʔəms Tɑʔɑw
    Introduction: Listening to ʔəms tɑʔɑw Paige Raibmon he history written as I remember it,” said Elsie, expressing her sense of this project. It was December 2011, and we were in North Vancouver at her granddaughter Harmony’s “Thouse, visiting and working on this book. We were playing around with potential titles, and earlier that day, Harmony and I had sug- gested “Chi-chia’s Teachings.” “Chi-chia,” which means “grandmother” in the Sliammon1 language, had seemed a logical word to include in the title: many people call Elsie “Chi-chia,” not just her biological grand children; moreover, Elsie’s own Chi-chia has always been im- portant to her. “Teachings” is the word Elsie uses to refer to the ɬaʔamɩn ways, beliefs, values, and practices that she recounts in this book. But to Elsie’s ears, “Chi-chia’s Teachings” sounded didactic and overemphasized her as an individual. The teachings, she re- minded us, do not belong to any individual; they are “ʔəms tɑʔɑw” or “our teachings.” ʔəms tɑʔɑw are, as she later explained, “the very essence of our well-being.” The phrase “the history written as I re- member it” was not Elsie’s suggestion for a title but was instead part of her extended explanation of the problems with our proposal. The phrase stayed with me, however, and I jotted it down. I felt slightly clever, as though I had salvaged a fragment of verbal ephemera. Several months later, in need of a working title to submit to the press, I shared my notes with Harmony, and we decided to use “The History Written As I Remember It.” Good thing I wrote that down, I thought, feeling slightly cleverer.

Emigh, Chair This study uses narrative analysis to examine how racial, ethnic, and national schemas were mobilized by social actors to categorize Duwamish identity from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. In so doing, it evaluates how the classificatory schemas of non- indigenous actors, particularly the state, resembled or diverged from Duwamish self- understandings and the relationship between these classificatory schemes and the configuration of political power in the Puget Sound region of Washington state. The earliest classificatory schema applied to the Duwamish consisted of a racial category “Indian” attached to an ethno- national category of “tribe,” which was honed during the treaty period. After the “Indian wars” of 1855-56, this ethno-national orientation was supplanted by a highly racialized schema aimed at the political exclusion of “Indians”. By the twentieth century, however, formalized racialized exclusion was replaced by a racialized ethno-national schema by which tribal membership was defined using a racial logic of blood purity.

  • Seattle University Tarseblu Vi Hilbert Ethnobotanical Garden Master Plant List Version 7.0 (Revised 9/9/2019)
    Seattle University taRSeblu Vi Hilbert Ethnobotanical Garden Master Plant List Version 7.0 (Revised 9/9/2019) This Lushootseed language plant list was originally commissioned in 2005 for the creation of Seattle University’s taRSeblu Vi Hilbert Ethnobotanical Garden. It was first prepared by linguist Zalmai (Zeke) Zahir and reviewed for accuracy by native Lushootseed speaker taRSeblu Vi Hilbert. In subsequent years, there have been supplements and slight revisions to the list, but it remains incomplete and does not fully reflect the richness, depth and diversity of spoken Lushootseed. The Lushootseed language is alive and changing, and this list should reflect those changes: we encourage community members to contact Professor Rob Efird at [email protected] with any suggestions for further revisions. TiGicid! (Thank you!) People often want to know what “the” Lushootseed term is for a given plant. However, there are often several terms for a given plant, reflecting such things as the variety of local usages, regional variations, and changes over time. For example, linguists have roughly divided Lushootseed into northern and southern dialects, and there are sometimes (but not always) different terms that correspond to this rough division. Where known, we have tried to indicate these regional associations in the list. In addition, some of the terms are associated with a specific native Lushootseed speaker who provided them, and these sources are indicated where they are known. Some of the terms or their explanations are specifically associated with written or online resources, such as the Lushootseed Dictionary or the webpages of the Tulalip Lushootseed program, and these too are indicated.
