Through our words the dead are made to live probable lives and long-past events are given possible forms. Our profession is built on the belief that the past has something to say to us, that by-gone eras can yet illuminate the present. With some trepidation we keep alive the Confucian observation, “those who do not learn the lessons of the past are condemned to relive them.”1 Yet in a really profound way history is more often an intellectual and emotional process by which we say goodbye. In this respect the historian tackles cultural myths, abuses of power, miscarriages of justice, frightful bigotry, sexism, prejudice, ignorance and invisibility. We diligently pursue the complex cultural stories hidden within chronological events so that flawed humans from the past can encourage flawed humans of the present to make wiser choices. As historians we say a great deal exerting a strong sense of moral and ethical certainty, indeed our dirty little secret is that we hope to change the course of history for the better. But irrespective of our work's contemporary relevance, regardless of our scholarly skills, the inescapable fact of our profession is that we are simply picking through the rubble of time, dusting the corpses and repainting tombs; we are only re-preparing the dead and forgotten to lie in state for a season. Our scholarship is but a eulogy for the deceased. As historians we are always repackaging the past for a present generation to 1 Frederick Jackson Turner spearheaded this view in the new American History profession. Frederick Jackson Turner, “The Significance of History,” in ed. John Mack Faragher, Rereading Frederick Jackson Turner (New York, New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1994), 11-30. iv mourn, we are always prepping the dead for the living to bid goodbye. Like any funeral the experience can be sobering, we pledge to always remember, to keep the past alive in our hearts, but the inevitable march of time lessens the effect of the moment and its emotional din gives way to a re-manufactured memory, a new vision of who and what was. As historians we are always saying goodbye, indeed it is cemented into the very foundation of our profession and perhaps therein is the struggle for all historians. To acknowledge the past and say goodbye we have to empathize with it, to know history we have to imagine it, to see the paths blazed by our elders we must see within the mind's eye a reasonable vision of what was and through it see what it became. But more so, to finally say goodbye we must also say thank you – to show gratitude for what was learned, thankfulness for mistakes forgiven and remorse for lessons ignored. I wish to thank Dr. Paul Gilje for making a greenhorn graduate student understand that the only way to succeed in graduate school is to put your nose to the grindstone and work hard until you have your degree in hand. Intellectually, though never my professor or committee member Dr. David Levy graciously took an interest in my work and on more than one occasion offered sage advice. Dr. Levy always had the patience and intellectual curiosity to listen to long questions and offer equally long answers. I have Dr. Levy to thank for suggesting a conference paper that led to an anthology publication. I would also like to thank Dr. Richard Lowitt for graciously sharing his insights into the relationship between Angie Debo and Edward Everett Dale. More so, it was Dr. Lowitt who contended that he just had a feeling Anna Lewis was more important than people thought and suggested I keep digging. Dr. Lowitt was right. Several colleagues and friends took time over the years to engage in discussion v and criticism that often proved helpful. I miss this interaction greatly. Thank you, particularly Tony Carlson, Sam Stalcup, Tash Smith and Sunu Kodumthara. Other academics not connected to my work were extremely kind and gracious with their time, advice and suggestions. Dr. Donald Pisani, Dr. Linda Reese, Dr. Susan Gray, Dr. Catherine Hobbs, Dr. Martha Skeeters, Dr. Joshua Piker, Dr. Carsten Schapkow, Dr. David Chappell, Dr. Sterling Evans, Dr. Robert Shalhope, Dr. Gary Anderson, Dr. Katherine Pandora, Dr. Alvin Turner, Dr. Lynn Musslewhite, Dr. Hamilton Cravens and Dr. Peter J. Bowler. Thank you as well. I would like to thank all my committee members for their many contributions to this dissertation. Dr. Albert Hurtado, Dr. David Wrobel, Dr. Judith Lewis, Dr. Ben Keppel and Dr. Sean O'Neill. I want to especially thank Dr. Hurtado for having faith in my ability to work through an admittedly vast topic with no foreseeable thesis. Dr. Hurtado saw value in this project when it was more a cacophony of scattered ideas than a clear argument. The successful completion of this dissertation is a testament to his expert guidance, sound editorial advice and broad mastery of American West scholarship. As my dissertation revisions extended beyond Dr. Hurtado's retirement Dr. Wrobel graciously agreed to become my new committee chair and co-chair with Dr. Hurtado, thank you. In the span of a few weeks Dr. Wrobel's advice and suggestions made my manuscript a much better study. Of especial help were the many long informative conversations over lunch and dinner with Dr. Hurtado, Dr. Keppel and Dr. Lewis. I value each as friends and mentors and hope one day to carry on the ancient tradition of treating my own cash-strapped students to much appreciated lunches and dinners. vi Often the outside outside field committee member is just that – outside. Dr. Lewis was not. I thank Dr. Lewis for invaluable insights into British imperial history that ultimately helped frame my analysis of the intellectual and cultural legacy of British transplant and noted American Indian historian Annie Heloise Abel. Likewise I thank Dr. Keppel for his advice and guidance over the years, but most importantly for his dedication to secondary source material. From the beginning of my tenure as a graduate student Dr. Keppel emphasized that what distinguishes our endeavors from those of self-anointed scholars, historical writers, armchair antiquarians, genealogists and online blather is that we ground our work in tried and true peer reviewed secondary sources. While we may ultimately argue against prevailing interpretations, our work builds from the profession's only distinctive tool – the historiographical cannon. Good new scholarship stands the test of time because it is first tested against good old scholarship that stood the test of time. Finally I would like to thank the History department for funding much of my East coast research through the A. K. and Ethel T. Christian Graduate Research Fellowship and for graciously funding research and related expenses for my West coast work. But most importantly I am thankful for the GA position that made graduate school economically feasible. I must also thank Laurie Scrivener, Sunu Kodumthara and Brian Buckley for their help at the University of Oklahoma Bizzell library. I am greatly appreciative of the University of Oklahoma Western History Collection staff's help over the years. Notably, JoAnn Palmeri's assistance at the University of Oklahoma History of Science Collection where I was provided a study carrel and access to manuscript collections made much of vii my American Darwinism research possible. Deeply appreciated as well was the gracious help of Anna Cook at the Massachusetts Historical Society Library and Kate Blalack and David Peters at the Oklahoma State University Library. I am especially grateful for Kelly Brown's assistance at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma Nash Library. Ms. Brown provided full access to the Anna Lewis Collection and graciously gave exclusive access to a stash of unpublished Muriel H. Wright letters. The most painful thank yous are those made in absentia – too little, too late. My grandmother who raised me, who protected me and was a fearless and passionate defender of my quest for the doctorate died last year. I still miss her deeply and always will. May every human being be blessed with such a person in their lives, someone who makes them feel happy, loved, wanted and normal. Time does not heal all wounds. In contrast to unrequited thank yous stand those for present loved ones. For my mother I do appreciate your love, devotion and encouragement over the years, it meant the world to me. Last but not least, Bart. You were the one who saw a potential, who insisted that I could do better, who promised to see me through it – and did. I could not have done this without you and now you must know I cannot do the rest without you either. Forgive me if I do not say thank you – because I cannot say goodbye. viii Table of Contents Acknowledgments......................................................................................................iv-viii

Bonham Philanthropy is an important facet in communities around the world. It is a practice that provides many important services that may not exist if it were not for the generosity of others who donate their time and money. This paper will be focusing exclusively on monetary forms of philanthropy. Philanthropy exists in many different forms and is motivated in many different ways. It comes from the wealthiest of individuals to the most financially challenged of people. This paper explores what philanthropy is, the different types of philanthropy, and motivations for philanthropy. It will cover information about some of the most famous of givers. It then will make a local connection by talking about the Philanthropists for Eau Claire, their lives, and the benefits received by their donations. 3 Introduction The City of Eau Claire is filled with buildings and places dedicated to individuals. Those names often are put in honor of those who made their existence possible. Some examples are Carson Park, Randall Park, and L.E.

  • Drew Hayden Taylor, Native Canadian Playwright in His Times
    BRIDGING THE GAP: DREW HAYDEN TAYLOR, NATIVE CANADIAN PLAYWRIGHT IN HIS TIMES Dale J. Young A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2005 Committee: Dr. Ronald E. Shields, Advisor Dr. Lynda Dixon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Jonathan Chambers Bradford Clark © 2005 Dale Joseph Young All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Ronald E. Shields, Advisor In his relatively short career, Drew Hayden Taylor has amassed a significant level of popular and critical success, becoming the most widely produced Native playwright in the world. Despite nearly twenty years of successful works for the theatre, little extended academic discussion has emerged to contextualize Taylor’s work and career. This dissertation addresses this gap by focusing on Drew Hayden Taylor as a writer whose theatrical work strives to bridge the distance between Natives and Non-Natives. Taylor does so in part by humorously demystifying the perceptions of Native people. Taylor’s approaches to humor and demystification reflect his own approaches to cultural identity and his expressions of that identity. Initially this dissertation will focus briefly upon historical elements which served to silence Native peoples while initiating and enforcing the gap of misunderstanding between Natives and non-Natives. Following this discussion, this dissertation examines significant moments which have shaped the re-emergence of the Native voice and encouraged the formation of the Contemporary Native Theatre in Canada. Finally, this dissertation will analyze Taylor’s methodology of humorous demystification of Native peoples and stories on the stage.

The (Dawes) General Allotment Act of1887 was meant to fulfill the United States Government policy ofallotting individual parcels of Indian reservation lands in an effort to break up communal societies,Jorcing tribes to move towards the white man's ideal of civilized culture. Three decades earlier, Article 6 ofthe Treaty of1854 allowed for the survey and allotting of the Omaha's northeastern Nebraska reservation, placing the Omaha Nation at the leading edge offederal policy a generation before the Dawes Act.

Anne Katzenberg, External Member, University of Calgary © Copyright 2011 by Sharon Allitt All Rights Reserved ! ii ABSTRACT Title: STABLE ISOTOPIC INSIGHTS INTO THE SUBSISTENCE PATTERNS OF PREHISTORIC DOGS (CANIS FAMILIARIS) AND THEIR HUMAN COUNTERPARTS IN NORTHEASTERN NORTH AMERICA Candidate's Name: Sharon Allitt Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2011 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: R. Michael Stewart, Phd There are four goals to this study. The first is to investigate the diet of prehistoric dogs (Canis familiaris) in the Northeast region of North America using stable isotope analysis. The second goal of this study is to generate independent data concerning the presence or absence of C4 resources, such as maize, in the diets of dogs. Third, this study investigates the use of dog bone as a proxy for human bone in studies assessing the presence of C4 resources at archaeological sites. The fourth goal of this study is to provide a check on existing interpretations of the material, macro- and micro- botanical records as it concerns the presence or absence of C4 resources at the sites involved in this study. Stable isotope analysis is a science that allows the measuring of the abundance ratio of two stable isotopes of a particular element.

MURRAY David Browman has produced an invaluable reference work for prac- titioners of contemporary Americanist archaeology who are interested in documenting the largely unrecognized contribution of generations of women to its development. Meticulous examination of the archaeo- logical literature, especially footnotes and acknowledgments, and the archival records of major universities, museums, field school programs, expeditions, and general anthropological archives reveals a complex story of marginalization and professional invisibility, albeit one that will be surprising neither to feminist scholars nor to female archaeologists.
