  • Herbert Ponting and the First Documentary 1
    Herbert Ponting And The First Documentary 1 Herbert Ponting And The First Documentary One evening in mid-winter of 1911, in the coldest, most isolated place on earth, some two dozen men of the British Expedition to the South Pole gathered for a slide show. They were hunkered down in a wooden building perched on the edge of Antarctica. For them winter ran from late April to late August. In these four months the sun disappeared entirely leaving them in increasing darkness, at the mercy of gales and blizzards. If you stepped outside in a blizzard, you could become disoriented within a few yards of the hut and no one would know you were lost or where to look for you. On this evening, they were enjoying themselves in the warmth of their well insulated hut. One of their number, who called himself a “camera artist,” was showing them some of the 500 slides he had brought with him to help occupy the long winter hours. The camera artist was Herbert Ponting, a well known professional photographer. In the language of his time he was classified as a “record photographer” rather than a “pictorialist.”i One who was interested in the actual world, and not in an invented one. The son of a successful English banker, Ponting had forsworn his father’s business at the age of eighteen to try his fortune in California. When fruit farming and gold mining failed him, he took up photography, turning in superb pictures of exotic people and places, which were displayed in the leading international magazines of the time.

  • Near the Edge: Language Revival from the Brink of Extinction
    NEAR THE EDGE: LANGUAGE REVIVAL FROM THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION James Rementer, Language Director The Delaware Tribe, Bartlesville, Oklahoma and Bruce L. Pearson, University of South Carolina 1. Introduction. The authors have spent close to forty years, individually and often collaboratively, working on three Native American languages. Our experiences are fairly typical of people who become involved in Indian languages, whether they are born into a tribal community or come as outsiders. The three languages are Delaware and Shawnee, both Algonquian, and Wyandotte, and Iroquoian language. Although the focus of this conference is on Algonquian languages, the threat of extinction is common to all native languages regardless of family identity. These three languages themselves represent different stages common to threatened languages and typical responses within threatened language communities. The last speaker of Wyandotte died some 50 years ago. Delaware now has but one living native speaker, an elderly man whose health no longer permits him to actively pass on the language. The language is preserved by a few adults who have acquired limited fluency in recent years. Only Shawnee has native speakers still living although all are above age fifty. The attitudes toward language revival and the programs adopted to preserve the language differ in each community. These differences are based largely on the perceived degree of endangerment and community assumptions about what can be done to preserve the language and, more importantly, what should be done. We will describe the situation in these three communities starting with the one in which we have had the longest and most extensive involvement and proceeding to those in which we have had a lesser degree of involvement.

She is also an alumna of the prestigious ASCAP Composers Workshop with Richard Bellis (2018).

  • A Synthesis of Obviation in Algonquian Languages
    A Synthesis of Obviation in Algonquian Languages by Irina Volchok A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Linguistics University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright© 2019 Irina Volchok iii Abstract One of the most prominent features of the Algonquian languages of North America is obviation, a third person referencing system. Although it has been known for nearly 400 years, linguists are still debating about its role and function. This work seeks to synthesize what is already known about obviation and what is still unresolved. More specifically, it looks at the syntactic and discourse working principles of obviation in different types of noun phrases, and in single, conjoined, complement, and adverbial clauses, as well as in narratives and in elicitation. iv Table of Contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... iii Table of Contents ........................................................................................................................... iv Chapter I: Introduction .................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Geographical Location of Algonquian Languages ................................................................ 1 1.2 Classification of Algonquian Languages ...........................................................................
