Abstract

Une équipe pluridisciplinaire s'est intéressée au « pays Quiche » situé dans les hautes terres occidentales du Guatemala. Celles-ci, où sont concentrés les trois quarts de la population indienne du pays, sont occupées depuis l'époque préclassique (600 ± 100 av. J.-C), selon les résultats des fouilles archéologiques. Cependant, les trois archéologues de l'équipe étudient essentiellement le site classique (600-900 ap. J.-C.) de Los Cerritos Chijoj : A. Ichon analyse la fonction des édifices cérémoniels ; H. Lehmann décrit le jeu de balle ; M.-F. Fauvet-Berthelot, s'attachant plus spécialement à la zone d'habitat de ce site, met en évidence d'une part la relation étroite entre la fonction sociale des « structures » et l'aménagement de l'espace, d'autre part la fonction à la fois résidentielle, funéraire et cérémonielle de cette zone.

Abstract

This compilation of Dale Morgan's historical work on Indians in the Intermountain West focuses primarily on the Shoshone who lived near the Oregon and California trails. Three connected works by Morgan are included: First is his classic article on the history of the Utah Superintendency of Indian Affairs. This is followed by a previously unpublished history of early relations among the Western Shoshoni, emigrants, and the government along the California Trail. The book concludes with an important set of government reports and correspondence from the National Archives concerning the Eastern Shoshone and their leader Washakie. Morgan heavily annotated these for serial publication in the Annals of Wyoming. He also wrote a previously unpublished history of early relations among the Western Shoshone, emigrants, and the government along the California Trail. Morgan biographer Richard L. Saunders introduces, edits, and further annotates this collection. His introduction includes an intellectual biography of Morgan that focuses on the place of the anthologized pieces in Morgan's corpus. Gregory E. Smoak, a leading historian of the Shoshone, contributes an ethnohistorical essay as additional context for Morgan's work.

Abstract

Ronald Holt recounts the survival of a people against all odds. A compound of rapid white settlement of the most productive Southern Paiute homelands, especially their farmlands near tributaries of the Colorado River; conversion by and labor for the Mormon settlers; and government neglect placed the Utah Paiutes in a state of dependency that ironically culminated in the 1957 termination of their status as federally recognized Indians. That recognition and attendant services were not restored until 1980, in an act that revived the Paiutes' identity, self-government, land ownership, and sense of

Abstract

For over one hundred years, Navajos have gone to work in significant numbers on Southwestern railroads. As they took on the arduous work of laying and anchoring tracks, they turned to traditional religion to anchor their lives.Jay Youngdahl, an attorney who has represented Navajo workers in claims with their railroad employers since 1992 and who more recently earned a master's in divinity from Harvard, has used oral history and archival research to write a cultural history of Navajos' work on the railroad and the roles their religious traditions play in their lives of ha
