  • The Sami and the Inupiat Finding Common Grounds in a New World
    The Sami and the Inupiat Finding common grounds in a new world SVF­3903 Kristine Nyborg Master of Philosophy in Visual Cultural Studies Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education Department of Archaeology and Social Anthropology University of Tromsø Spring 2010 2 Thank you To all my informants for helping me make this project happen and for taking me into your lives and sharing all your wonderful thoughts. I am extremely grateful you went on this journey with me. A special warm thanks to my main informant who took me in and guided the way. This would have been impossible without you, and your great spirits and laughter filled my thoughts as I was getting through this process. To supervisor, Bjørn Arntsen, for keeping me on track and being so supportive. And making a mean cup of latte. To National Park Service for helping me with housing. A special thanks to the Center for Sami Studies Strategy Fund for financial support. 3 Abstract This thesis is about the meeting of two indigenous cultures, the Sami and the Inupiat, on the Alaskan tundra more than a hundred years ago. The Sami were brought over by the U.S. government to train the Inupiat in reindeer herding. It is about their adjustment to each other and to the rapidly modernizing world they found themselves a part of, until the term indigenous became a part of everyday speech forty years ago. During this process they gained new identities while holding on to their indigenous ones, keeping a close tie to nature along the way.

  • Horse Breeds in Medieval Role-Playing Games
    Horse Breeds in Medieval Role-playing Games Throughout the Middle Ages the horse was a powerful symbol of social differences but also a tool for the farmer, merchant and fighting classes. While the species varied considerably, as did their names, here is a summary of the main types encountered across Medieval Europe. Great Horse - largest (15-16 hands) and heaviest (1.5-2t) of horses, these giants were the only ones capable of bearing a knight in full plate armour. However such horses lacked speed and endurance. Thus they were usually reserved for tourneys and jousts. Modern equivalent would be a «shire horse». Mules - commonly used as a beast of burden (to carry heavy loads or pull wagons) but also occasionally as a mount. As mules are often both calmer and hardier than horses, they were particularly useful for strenuous support tasks, such as hauling supplies over difficult terrain. Hobby – a tall (13-14 hands) but lightweight horse which is quick and agile. Developed in Ireland from Spanish or Libyan (Barb) bloodstock. This type of quick and agile horse was popular for skirmishing, and was often ridden by light cavalry. Apparently capable of covering 60-70 miles a single day. Sumpter or packhorse - a small but heavier horse with excellent endurance. Used to carry baggage, this horse could be ridden albeit uncomfortably. The modern equivalent would be a “cob” (2-3 mark?). Rouncy - a smaller and well-rounded horse that was both good for riding and carrying baggage. Its widespread availability ensured it remained relatively affordable (10-20 marks?) compared to other types of steed.

  • Horse Power: Social Evolution in Medieval Europe
    ABSTRACT HORSE POWER: SOCIAL EVOLUTION IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE My research is on the development of the horse as a status symbol in Western Europe during the Middle Ages. Horses throughout history are often restricted to the upper classes in non-nomadic societies simply due to the expense and time required of ownership of a 1,000lb prey animal. However, between 1000 and 1300 the perceived social value of the horse far surpasses the expense involved. After this point, ownership of quality animals begins to be regulated by law, such that a well off merchant or a lower level noble would not be legally allowed to own the most prestigious mounts, despite being able to easily afford one. Depictions of horses in literature become increasingly more elaborate and more reflective of their owners’ status and heroic value during this time. Changes over time in the frequency of horses being used, named, and given as gifts in literature from the same traditions, such as from the Waltharius to the Niebelungenlied, and the evolving Arthurian cycles, show a steady increase in the horse’s use as social currency. Later epics, such as La Chanson de Roland and La Cantar del Mio Cid, illustrate how firmly entrenched the horse became in not only the trappings of aristocracy, but also in marking an individuals nuanced position in society.

  • Plant Symbols of Christmas by Lydia Holley
    HENDERSON COUNTY MASTER GARDENERS (HCMG) WEEKLY NEWS ARTICLE December 23, 2019 Plant Symbols of Christmas By Lydia Holley Have you ever wondered about the different plants we use to celebrate Christmas and what they symbolize? There are numerous plants we use during this time of year, and almost all have some type of meaningful representation. These are a fun way to introduce the meaning of Christmas into your holidays. It is practical to use evergreens during the winter, instead of deciduous plants which lose their leaves. But evergreens also represent eternal life, so that is another reason we use a lot of evergreens for decorating during Christmastime. One of the largest plants we welcome into our homes at this time is the Christmas tree. It is a part of most everyone’s Christmas celebration. Not only can it be festooned with ornaments which portray various symbols of Christmas, but the entire tree’s triangular shape symbolizes the Trinity. Wreaths are hung on the door to welcome the Christmas spirit. Wreaths now come in different shapes and with various adornments, but it was originally just a plain circle of evergreen boughs. This shape represents eternity. You may recall this same symbolism in the wedding ring. Rosemary represents remembrance. This is the perfect time to reflect and remember your loved ones, those present and those passed, and to remember the deeper meaning of the season. Holly, with its prickly leaves, represents Jesus’ crown of thorns. The red berries are symbolic of Christ’s blood. Holly was thought to be a male plant, and in the Christmas carol, “The Holly and the Ivy”, holly symbolizes Christ.

  • Caer Feddwyd - Articles - the Holly Tree 12/25/12 8:02 PM
    Caer Feddwyd - Articles - The Holly Tree 12/25/12 8:02 PM The Holly Tree (c) Blackbird Hollins 2003 With a surname like mine, it's not hard to guess that the holly holds a particular fascination for me. It seems that many people down the ages have shared this fascination; the holly tree holds a very special place in our hearts. This is shown by the wealth of customs and superstitions associated with it. In particular, it is, of course, linked to the Winter Solstice celebrations. It has become intrinsic to this period, with the leaves and berries conjuring images of Yule, of Christmas, of Saturnalia. It has decorated our homes and places of worship at this time in countless countries and cultures down the ages. Pagan tree lore - or more specifically - Celtic tree lore is a very problematic area of study. Like many areas of paganism, what we consider ancient is often relatively modern, and much of our Celtic tree lore, such as the tree calendar, and popular interpretations of the Ogham and tree alphabets, date back only as far as Mr Robert Graves, a writer of great insight, whose poetic musings are too often interpreted as historical fact. So, much as I admire Mr Graves and his contributions to neo-paganism, I'm attempting here to circumnavigate his work, and to delve back further into the misty realms of folklore and heritage. Firstly, let us take a look at the botanical attributes of the holly. It is one of the easiest trees to recognise, with its trademark dark green spiked leaves and blood-red berries.
