For several years now, Wayland D. Hand, Director of the Center for the Study of Comparative Folklore and Mythology at the University of California (Los Angeles), has been working toward completion of a comprehensive Dictionary of American Popular Beliefs and Superstitions. However, in order that such a work may be as authoritative as possible, Dr. Hand has asked organizations and individuals in the various states to canvass their regions and publish tributary volumes first. The Northeast Folklore Society is the logical organization to do the work here in Maine; therefore let us collect as much material as we can and …

The African Mineral Industry: Evolution Of A Supranational Level Of Integration, Alvin W. Wolfe

Anthropology Faculty Publications

First publication in which the development of a supranational system is recognized as a major evolutionary saltation. The authors writings along this line upset American financial interests and the United States government which were at the time obsessed with the "Cold War." On April 4, 1963, the New York Times reported that a leading American industrialist, Clarence Randall, had denounced me for what he called "a scandalous attack" against the mining industry of Southern Africa and by implication the entire mining industry of the West.

Role Change And Cultural Change: The Canyoncito Navaho Case, Ronald J. Kurtz

Anthropology ETDs

This dissertation is concerned with cultural change among the Navaho Indians who have occupied the area around Mount Taylor and the Cebolleta Mountains in New Mexico from the sixteenth century to the present time. This group, variously called the "Canyoncito Navaho," the "Enemy Navaho," "Sandoval's Band," the "Cebolleta Navaho," and the "Mount Taylor Navaho" in the literature, will be referred to as the Canyoncito Navaho in this report. This designation, although first applied in the twentieth century, is employed, for convenience, for the whole of this people's history. Today, the name refers to the Navaho residents of the Canyoncito Navaho …

Preference For Male Children In Japanese And American Society, Joyce Aschenbrenner

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Is a preference for children of a given sex in a society primarily a result of cultural values, of social requirements or of individual needs? Although it is impossible completely to separate these types of influence, since social change may modify cultural traditions, and social interaction and cultural values influence individual needs. perhaps some assessment of the relative importance of various social and cultural phenomena involved in sex preference in a society can be attempted.

The present study is an exploratory treatment of the nature and degree of sex preference in two societies - Japanese and American - and a …

The Ethnological Use Of A Health Questionnaire, Nancy Way Lienke

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

In the summer of 1962 the population of Grand Portage Chippewa Indian Reservation was brought under review to determine the possible utility of the Cornell Medical Index Health Questionnaire (CMI) in the examination of psychosocial patterns. The use of the questionnaire was part of an investigation of the cultural concepts of health and disease in Grand Portage community. The CMI, therefore, was administered in the context of an ethnological study, and it should be considered in this inquiry as an instrument for studying the socio-cultural dimensions of disease rather than as a method of gathering traditional epidemiological data.

A Cross-Cultural Evaluation Of Festinger's Theory Of Cognitive Dissonance, Harold E. Nelson

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The purpose of this paper is to attempt an evaluation, in cross-cultural terms, of Leon Festinger's Theory of Cognitive Dissonance, as a research tool. The specific problem to be treated is a consideration of the extent to which dissonance theory can be made applicable in varying situations in diverse cultural settings. Prior to an exposition of methodology, a short abstract of the hypothesis and some of its ramifications is appropriate.

A Preliminary Report On The Itasca Bison Site, Creighton T. Shay

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

In the summer of 1937 excavations conducted by the University of Minnesota Anthropology Department in Itasca State Park yielded extinct bison and other animal remains along with several stone artifacts. A preliminary notice was published in Science shortly after excavation was completed (Jenks, 193 7). The bones were extracted from a marl layer underlying a peat bog near the south end of the west arm of Lake Itasca. The deposit was discovered during construction of a road bridge over Nicollet Creek adjacent to the site. Material in the following report was assembled from unpublished field notes and records on file …

Some Problems In Minnesota Chippewa Acculturation, Jerome S. Stromberg

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The "Indian Problem" is a term frequently used without precise definition. It serves, perhaps, to bring to the mind of the general public conditions of poverty, backwardness, drunkenness, disrespect for the law, and lack of education and community organization among the Indians. An objection to this approach is that it does not provide adequate or systematic understanding of the basic nature of this "problem," but refers rather to the easily observable external manifestations. The "Indian Problem" approach also seems to attribute to all Indians an inherent tendency toward socially unacceptable behavior. A more profitable approach is to identify some of …

The 1962 issue of Northeast Folklore is being edited now. It will consist of a series of six or seven Märchen, several animal tales, a ghost story, and a few songs, all told and sung by Wilmot MacDonald of Glenwood, New Brunswick. Interestingly enough, Helen Creighton and I found that we had both collected exactly the same stories from Wilmot at different times and under different circumstances. Therefore we hope to include both versions of at least one tale, and careful comparisons will be made for all the others. We have barely scratched the surface of Wilmot's repertoire, but since …

Northeast Folklore Volume 5: Twenty-One Folksongs From Prince Edward Island, Edward D. Ives

Northeast Folklore Monographs

From the introduction by Edward D. "Sandy" Ives: "The twenty-one songs printed in this little volume are a representative sample of the songs I collected on Prince Edward Island during the summers of 1957, 1958, and 1963. ... As a matter of fact, I wasn't even "collecting songs" in the usual sense of that term; I was very specifically looking for songs by Larry Gorman and for biographical. Information about him, and when L wasn't asking about Larry Gorman I was asking about Joe Scott. Thus the present collection is neither the result of my general acquaintance with the traditions …
