Korubo uncontacted native americans might be first and foremost natural beings, Les matis, avec qui je travaille comme ethnologue depuis plus de quinze ans http://www.korubo.com/AMAZONDOC/erikson.htm
Extractions: Recently contacted Amerindians as depicted in media By Philippe Erikson, Ph.D., University of ParisX-Nanterre. Part I, review of Schemo, Diana Jean, 1999, "Last Tribal Battle", New York Times Magazine, october 31th As an anthropologist who has been working in the Javari basin for the past 16 years, I naturally pay very close attention to the literature regarding Sydney Possuelo's struggle in favor of Brazil's last uncontacted native peoples. I was therefore appalled to find that, of the numerous recently published papers featuring the recently contacted Korubo, one of the most misleading was published in the highly influential New York Times Magazine . This article, published on October 31, 1999, under the title "Last Tribal Battle", is gorged with errors, tarnished by ethnical stereotypes, and uncritically echoes some of the most biased arguments used by opponents of Possuelo's attempt at protecting isolated indigenous groups. Throughout her text, the author, Diana Jean Schemo, makes ill-informed statements about the Amazon and its first inhabitants, sometimes as gross as taking jaguars for leopards (p.75).

Extractions: Peace, at last Peace, alas Reflections on Sydney Possuelo's attempt to contact the Korubo by Philippe Erikson, University of Paris X-Nanterre (originally written in 1996 for National Geographic Online Will Sydney Possuelo's life-long dedication to the bloodless "pacification" of Brazilian Amerindians end tragically on the banks of the rio Itui, in the Javari basin ? Many in Brazil believe so. And indeed, the renowned sertanista and his team are putting their lives at stake in their attempt to contact the Korubo, locally known as caceteiros , "club-wielders" (from the French casse-tête , "club", literally "break-head"). The risks are great, considering how consistently the Korubo have been defending their territory against intruders ever since the late sixties. Trespassing in Korubo lands is dangerous. Numerous rubber-tappers, fishermen, hunters, loggers, and even ostensibly friendly employees of the Brazilian government's indian agency, Funai, have been killed, not to mention the scare - and sometimes scars - occasionnaly caused to missionaries, linguists or anthropopologists. Senhor Marinho dos Santos (one of Possuelo's field-assistants) reports that since 1966, local police files record at least 33 fatalities, with peaks in 1966-7, 1974-5, 1980-84, 1991-5. Possuelo and his team of Funai employees can be trusted to honor the

Extractions: We found fresh human tracks this morning. They all pointed in the same direction that we're walking through the virgin jungle of Brazil's westernmost Amazon Basin. Woolly monkeys hoot and chatter somewhere in the distance, their banter punctuated by the occasional zing of a machete and the shrill cries of screaming piha birds high in the canopy overhead. Our column of 34 men proceeds in silence, strung out single file far back into the forest. Only one or two companions are visible at any time in the blur of electric greens and rain-soaked browns. The rest are swallowed from view by a spray of overhanging branches and vines as thick as anacondas dangling a hundred feet (30 meters) from the treetops to the forest floor. Just ahead of me, Sydney Possuelo strides double-time across a stretch of level ground, a welcome break from the steep hillsides we've been scrambling over for days. "We're probably the only ones who have ever walked here," he tells me. "Us and the Indians."
Archaeology At Crow Canyon: Research Internships programs in partnership with native americans and institutions with common interests. Lew matis, BA, Fort Lewis College, 1968, Lab Educator http://www.crowcanyon.org/Jobs/intern_research.html
Extractions: Because we receive numerous applications for these internships, we ask that you do not contact us regarding the status of your application during the review process. All applicants will be notified when their application is received at Crow Canyon. Successful applicants will be notified by phone; others will be notified by letter or e-mail. The Crow Canyon Archaeological Center's mission is to initiate and conduct archaeological research and public education programs in partnership with Native Americans and institutions with common interests. The Center is located in southwestern Colorado near the town of Cortez and Mesa Verde National Park. RESEARCH Crow Canyon's research focuses on the Pueblo occupation of the Mesa Verde region. In our current project we are investigating the historic development of communities throughout the region between A.D. 900 and 1300. We are examining the social, political, and economic organization within and among communities, attempting to understand the forces that promoted cooperation as well as those that promoted conflict. We are also studying the changing demographic structure of these communities, migrations into the region in the A.D. 900s, and migrations out of the region at about A.D. 1300. We are developing methods for studying the abandonment of structures, sites, and regions. We are also interested in documenting how population growth and human impact on the environment affected patterns of cooperation and conflict and the development of social inequality.

Extractions: The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation is located in southeastern Montana . Its population consists of roughly 4,500 people. The Tribe suffers from high unemployment high infant mortality rates (16.5 per 1000 births compared to the U.S. average of 6.8), life expectancy rates 17 years below the national rate, a health crisis in the making including a diabetes rate some 5x that of the national average, substandard education which does little to prevent the 23% 8th grade dropout rate, and a crumbling infrastructure. The statistics point to a grim fate for the Cheyenne culture. The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation is located in southeastern Montana within the counties of Big Horn and Rosebud. The reservation is bounded on the east by the Tongue River and on the west by the Crow Reservation. The terrain varies from low, grass- covered hills to high, steep outcroppings and narrow valleys covered with ponderosa pine. Elevations range from 3,000 to 5,000 feet. The reservation covers about 450,000 acres, making it one of the smallest reservations in Montana. Over recent years, the Northern Cheyenne Tribe has successfully pursued a program to consolidate allotted holdings, purchase non-Indian holdings, and transfer non-Indian-held leases to tribal members. As a result, the tribe controls approximately 97% of the reservation.

Scheuerman UUP President Its budget time again in New York state and all indicators suggest that SUNY is in for another tough year. The trustees budget request doesnt stop there. In addition to asking for a flat budget, the trustees want another tuition hike of an unspecified amount. Public statements by the chancellor indicate they want to tie tuition to a consumer price index, thereby creating a rational and predictable tuition policy that avoids large tuition hikes that could drive students from SUNY. Traditionally, UUP has not taken a position on tuition. We do so for obvious reasons. If we discuss tuition, the focus of the debate shifts from SUNYs needs to the cost of attendance. In other words, the implications of budget cuts to SUNY are lost in the dialogue. One thing is certain: Hundreds of thousands of students will speak against a tuition hike. But who besides UUP will talk about the implications of funding cuts? Take last year, for example. Many elected officials spoke against the proposed tuition increase. Nevertheless, the practical problems of focusing on tuition rather than on SUNYs fiscal needs became obvious when I approached the anti-tuition speakers and asked them how they were going to fill the $183.5 million budget deficit at SUNY.
