I would like to thank Dr. Michael Logan forintroducing me to and guiding me through the literature of one of anthropology's mostclassic areas of study, the Great Plains region, and fortirelessly editing countless partial drafts. I would like to thank Dr. Richard Jantz for helping me so much with the Boas database as well as giving invaluable statistical advice. I would like to thank Dr. Hector Qirko for giving me a strong groundworkin evolutionary theory and also providing very helpfuleditorial comments. Thanks again to all my family and friends, here and gone, who have helped along the way. 111 Abstract In this study I have examined relationships between biological, linguistic and cultural patternsof variability among 19th CenturyIndian groups of the American Great Plains. Through this research I have sought to address Cavalli-Sforza et al.'s (1994) call for studies regarding cultural and biological correlation and also to partially assess their methodology of equating linguistic relationships with biologically influential, ethnic boundaries. I have constructed biological, linguistic, andcultural distancematrices, based on the Boas database of anthropometric measurements, Ruhlen's(1976) and Campbell's (1997) linguistic taxonomies, and Murdock's (1967) EthnographicAtlas, respectively. Furthermore, I constructed a geographic distance matrix and a social distance matrix, based on ethnohistorical accounts of intergroup relations among the Plains groups. I subjected all matrices to the Mantel test of matrix comparison. There were no significantcorrelations between biological and linguistic, linguistic and cultural, or cultural and biological matrices. Biological relationships correlatedwith geographic distances in one out of fourcases. Social distances correlated variously with biological, linguistic, and cultural distances, with correlations ranging fromweak to moderately strong. These results indicate a considerable break with the assumptions of Cavalli-Sforza et al.' s ( 1994} model of clinal diversification. Furthermore, they indicate thatlinguistic boundaries are not always reliable indicators of ethnicity, inasmuch as ethnicity implies an inherent tendency towardMendelian delineation. iv Table of Contents Chapter Page I.

Why have members of our speciescome to exhibit such striking variations in our biological, linguistic, and cultural composition? An emerging research trend has addressed this question in terms of fissioning populations and their progressive biological, linguistic, and cultural diversification over time and geographic space. L. Luca Cavalli-Sforza, Paolo Menozzi, and Alberta Piazza have brought a new depth to this endeavor in their pioneering work, The Historyand Geographyof

  • Diamond Jenness (1886-1969)
    Diamond Jenness (1886-1969) HENRY B. COLLINS and WILLIAM E. TAYLOR Jr. Canada’smost distinguished anthropologist, Dr. Diamond Jenness, formerly Chiefof the Division of Anthropology, National Museums of Canada, and Honorary Associate of the Arctic Institute of North America, died peacefully at his home in the Gatineau Hills near Ottawa on 29 November, 1969. He was one of that rapidly-vanishing, virtually extinct kind - the all round anthropolo- gist, who, working seriously, turned out first-class publications in all four major branches of the discipline : ethnology, linguistics, archaeology, and physical anthropology. One must also add a fifth: applied anthropology, a fitting designa- tion for theseries of monographs on Eskimo administration in Alaska, Canada, and Greenland which he wrote after his retirement and which were published by the Arctic Institute between 1962 and 1968. Diamond Jennesswas born in Wellington,New Zealand, on 10 February 1886, and attended Victoria University College, one of the four branches of the University ofNew Zealand, wherehe graduated withfirst class honours in classics in 1908. Later he studied at Balliol College, Oxford, under one of the outstanding ethnologists of the time, Professor R. R. Marett. He received both a B.A. in Lit. Hum. and a diploma in Anthropology at Oxford in 1911. In 191 1-12 he was designated Oxford Scholar in Papua and was sent by the Uni- versity to make anthropological studies among the Northern d’Entrecasteaux, a primitive tribe dwelling on the islands of the D’Entrecasteaux Archipelago off the east coast of New Guinea. The results of this first field-work were published by Oxford University (1 920a).

These sojourners are confronted with societal norms different from their home cultures. The present study investigated the extent to which international student sojourners perceive differences in emotional display norms between their home and host cultures, as well as the influence of such perception on adjustment. Although accurate perception of the host culture’s emotional display rules was not related to adjustment, a “guest” effect existed. Specifically, international student participants reported that one should

  • The Rose Collection of Moccasins in the Canadian Museum of Civilization : Transitional Woodland/Grassl and Footwear
    THE ROSE COLLECTION OF MOCCASINS IN THE CANADIAN MUSEUM OF CIVILIZATION : TRANSITIONAL WOODLAND/GRASSL AND FOOTWEAR David Sager 3636 Denburn Place Mississauga, Ontario Canada, L4X 2R2 Abstract/Resume Many specialists assign the attribution of "Plains Cree" or "Plains Ojibway" to material culture from parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. In fact, only a small part of this area was Grasslands. Several bands of Cree and Ojibway (Saulteaux) became permanent residents of the Grasslands bor- ders when Reserves were established in the 19th century. They rapidly absorbed aspects of Plains material culture, a process started earlier farther west. This paper examines one such case as revealed by footwear. Beaucoup de spécialistes attribuent aux Plains Cree ou aux Plains Ojibway des objets matériels de culture des régions du Manitoba ou de la Saskatch- ewan. En fait, il n'y a qu'une petite partie de cette région ait été prairie. Plusieurs bandes de Cree et d'Ojibway (Saulteaux) sont devenus habitants permanents des limites de la prairie quand les réserves ont été établies au XIXe siècle. Ils ont rapidement absorbé des aspects de la culture matérielle des prairies, un processus qu'on a commencé plus tôt plus loin à l'ouest.
