Abstract:
The papers in this volume are a collection of those presented at the 12th annual meeting of the Workshop on Immigrant Languages in the Americas, a conference series co-founded by heritage language researchers from Norway and the United States. The collection of papers demonstrates the sharing of ideas and advancements in the field that have occured as an outcome of the research network’s annual conference and its dedicated and collaborative research members. Some papers make use of various components of the Corpus of American Norwegian Speech, some present results from a survey on postvernacular heritages languages and other sociolinguistic topics, while others focus on morphology and syntax of bilingual situations. The volume contains papers on Dutch, Frisian, German, Greek, Norwegian and Turkish in North America. Together, the collection can be considered a showcase of the state of the field of studies of heritage languages, languages that are non-dominant languages in a given setting, often with little local prestige.

Abstract:
African American Heritage a database for African American family history research, provided by ProQuest. Here, the user has access to a wide variety of military, birth, marriage, cohabitation, death, and census records. Also included are records from the Freedman’s Bank and various registers of slaves and free(d) persons of color. The former was a bank chartered by the federal government to encourage and guide the economic development of African American communities in the period following the end of slavery in the U.S. The latter refers to records, maintained by a number of states prior to 1865, of slaves and free(d) persons of color. Also available to the user are contacts to a community of genealogy researchers, who can provide assistance and mentoring. The readability of the documents available here can vary. Some are too faded to read easily, even with magnification, and others are handwritten, which can make them difficult to interpret. Navigating, enlarging, and reducing documents can be done without difficulty, though the range of movement and magnification is somewhat limited. Documents can be browsed and/or searched for by title, author, publisher, date, subject, language (although, at present, English is the only language available), surname and personal name, and location.The search and browse options here are understandable and can produce useful results, though the number produced by any one query is usually not extensive, so multiple queries may be needed for any research project. Pricing for this database is determined by library or school size and the number of potential users, and consortia discounts are available (contact ProQuest for a specific price quote). Its licensing agreement is the same as those used for all ProQuest databases, and in its length and composition is quite average. The quality and quantity of content in this resource is not exceptional, but it will certainly be of use to those researching African American family history, and more generally Africana Studies, especially in the states indicated in this review.

Abstract:
In the late nineteenth century, while advocates garnered support for a law protecting America's archaeological resources, the U.S. government was seeking to dispossess Native Americans of traditional lands and eradicate native languages and cultural practices. That the government should safeguard Indian heritage in one way while simultaneously enacting policies of cultural obliteration deserves close scrutiny and provides insight into the ways in which archaeology is drawn into complex sociopolitical developments. Focusing on the American Southwest, this article argues that the Antiquities Act was fundamentally linked to the process of incorporating Native Americans into the web of national politics and markets. Whereas government programs such as boarding schools and missions sought to integrate living indigenous communities, the Antiquities Act served to place the Native American past under the explicit control of the American government and its agents of science. This story of archaeology is vital, because it helps explain the contemporary environment in which debates continue about the ownership and management of heritage.

Abstract:
The heritage of nations has always been a fundamental pillar of the individual’s cultural identity. The twentieth century has a great interest in cultural heritage by means of drama, as it articulates political, social, cultural, and even psychological issues under the umbrella of globalization. Afro-American playwrights have focused on cultural identity, which directly leads to their heritage, as what has been done by Wilson, who exploited his talent in dramatizing the Afro-American people’s lives. Wilson used his play to demonstrate and defend the values and culture in conflict with American and white culture, as well as to demonstrate that Afro-Americans can produce the finest literary writing to enrich American literature. So, heritage is one of the reasons for preserving individuality, as people have no identity if they do not have cultural heritage. The Piano Lesson is looking for acceptance or recognition that African culture is a part of the world’s culture that should be respected. In addition, Wilson encouraged his people to strongly seize their traditions and culture to get their identity as others, and he accomplished his mission.

Abstract:
Abstract. In this thesis I have studied the Finnish American ethnic identity and the presence of Finnish ethnicity and cultural heritage among third and fourth generation Finnish Americans. The theoretical background is on symbolic and interpretive anthropology and Clifford Geertz’s (1973) definition of culture as a shared web of meanings. The thesis gives a cultural anthropological perspective on researching ethnic identities and cultural heritage of immigrants’ descendants. The research material has been collected using ethnographic fieldwork methods; semi-structured interviews and participant observation in Finnish American communities in the USA. Many Americans want to identify themselves according to their ethnic heritage, because being just American may not be a sufficient expression of their ethnic identity. The USA is a country of many ethnicities and it is common for a person to have ancestors from more than one country. People may have multicultural identities and one person can identify as for example Finnish, Irish and Swedish American. The Finnish American ethnic heritage is represented in flags and other national symbols. Ethnic identity does not depend on speaking the language fluently or contacts with Finland. Instead, it is in the symbols that represent Finland and the Finnish heritage. Being Finnish American is not just depending on genetic makeup, but symbolically being part of the community and culture. Many Americans are seeking for their roots and heritage, discovering their family history and defining what their ethnic heritage is by doing genealogy and taking DNA-tests. For many, the family connection means that they have a tangible place for their roots and that they belong to a group of people. Many Finnish Americans use material objects to represent their ethnic heritage. The Finnish heritage is visible in many Finnish Americans’ homes in artefacts, flags, dishes, glassware, family heirlooms and photographs, bringing the ethnic heritage visible with these items and publicly presenting the pride in the ethnic heritage. The Finnish names for certain foods are used to emphasize the Finnish heritage of the food culture. The influence of Finnish Americans can also be seen in place names in certain regions. Finnish American organizations maintain the ethnic culture, and the culture and heritage are made visible in various Finnish American and Nordic events across the USA. National and local events keep the Finnish American community active and promote Finnish cultural attributes, such as music, dancing, cuisine or handcrafts. Third and fourth generation Finnish Americans are assimilated to the American mainstream culture in a sense that they are like any other average American in their daily lives. However, many Finnish Americans have a symbolic connection with their Finnish heritage and want to keep that connection by integrating Finnish cultural features to their lives.Tiivistelmä. Tässä pro gradussa tarkastelen amerikansuomalaisten etnistä identiteettiä ja sitä, miten suomalainen kulttuuriperintö on osa kolmannen ja neljännen sukupolven amerikansuomalaisten elämää. Tutkielman teoreettinen tausta on symbolisessa ja tulkitsevassa antropologiassa ja Clifford Geertzin (1973) määritelmässä kulttuurista jaettuna merkitysten verkostona. Tutkimus antaa kulttuuriantropologisen näkökulman etnisten identiteettien ja siirtolaisten kulttuuriperinnön tutkimukseen. Tutkimusaineisto on kerätty käyttäen etnografisia tutkimusmenetelmiä; puolistrukturoituja haastatteluja ja osallistuvaa havainnointia amerikansuomalaisten yhteisöissä Yhdysvalloissa. Monet amerikansuomalaiset haluavat identifioida itsensä etnisen taustansa mukaan, koska pelkkä amerikkalaiseksi määrittely ei välttämättä ole tarpeeksi kuvaava ilmaisu. Yhdysvallat on monien etnisyyksien valtio ja suurimmalla osalla ihmisistä on esivanhempia useammassa kuin yhdessä maassa. Henkilön identiteetti voi olla monikulttuurinen ja henkilö voi samastua esimerkiksi amerikansuomalaiseksi, -irlantilaiseksi ja -ruotsalaiseksi. Amerikansuomalainen etninen perintö ilmaistaan lipuilla ja muilla kansallisilla symboleilla. Etninen identiteetti ei ole riippuvainen kielitaidosta tai yhteydenpidosta Suomeen, vaan symboleista, jotka esittävät suomalaisuutta ja suomalaista kulttuuriperintöä. Amerikansuomalaisuus ei ole riippuvainen vain geneettisestä perimästä, vaan symbolisesta kuulumisesta osaksi yhteisöä ja kulttuuria. Monet amerikkalaiset etsivät juuriaan, tietoa sukutaustastaan ja määrittelevät oman kulttuuriperintönsä tekemällä sukututkimusta tai DNA-testien avulla. Monet amerikansuomalaiset tuovat etnistä perintöön esille materiaalisten esineiden avulla. Suomalainen kulttuuriperintö näkyy monissa amerikansuomalaisissa kodeissa esineinä, lippuina, astioina, lasiesineinä, suvun perintökalleuksina ja valokuvina. Etninen perintö ja ylpeys siitä tehdään näkyväksi erilaisilla esineillä. Tietyistä ruoista käytetään suomalaisia nimiä, jotta niiden suomalaisuus ja suomalainen ruokakulttuuri korostuisi. Amerikansuomalaisten vaikutus näkyy myös paikannimissä tietyillä alueilla. Amerikansuomalaiset järjestöt ylläpitävät etnistä kulttuuria ja tekevät sen näkyväksi erilaisissa amerikansuomalaisissa ja pohjoismaisissa tapahtumissa eri puolilla Yhdysvaltoja. Valtakunnalliset ja paikalliset tapahtumat pitävät amerikansuomalaiset yhteisöt aktiivisina sekä tukevat ja edistävät suomalaisia kulttuuripiirteitä kuten musiikkia, tanssia, ruokakulttuuria ja käsitöitä. Kolmannen ja neljännen sukupolven amerikansuomalaiset ovat assimiloituneet amerikkalaiseen valtakulttuuriin siinä mielessä, että he ovat kuin kuka tahansa amerikkalainen jokapäiväisessä elämässään. Kuitenkin monilla amerikansuomalaisilla on symbolinen yhteys suomalaiseen kulttuuriperintöönsä ja he haluavat ylläpitää tätä yhteyttä liittämällä suomalaisia kulttuuripiirteitä osaksi elämäänsä.

Abstract:

Ethnic identity is dynamic social construction. Ethnic groups define and display their heritage to meet the social, economic, and political interests of the group. Tourism is one outlet for ethnic groups to express their identity while stimulating local economies. Ethnic tourism is becoming more popular in urban settings, as municipal governments attempt to compete for tourism income and establish a unique brand. Placing ethnic tourism within an urban setting creates additional layers of complexity that have the potential to alter the way ethnic groups interact and are perceived by locals and visitors. Tourism involves the construction of expectations through deliberate representation. When the object of expectation is an ethnic or minority group, the creation of symbols to enhance the exotic appeal can have unintended consequences for the performance of ethnicity within urban structures. This paper attempts to document the effects of urban ethnic tourism on the ethnic group that is the subject of tourism by applying a new framework for urban ethnic tourism to the ethnic festivals of Milwaukee, WI.

Full text
Abstract:

Composer Howard Hanson played a pivotal role in both the development and promotion of American concert music in the twentieth century. Born in Wahoo, Nebraska, to Swedish immigrants, Hanson grew up surrounded by people who followed Swedish customs (including folk song and dance), yet exhibited strong feelings of American patriotism. Hanson's earliest works, left unpublished, display the influence of Swedish folk music traditions in either direct quotation or stylistic imitation.

As the winner of the first American Prix de Rome, Hanson traveled to Italy to study at the American Academy, affording him the opportunity to travel for the first time to Sweden. While in Europe Hanson wrote some of his most important compositions, including the Scandinavian-inspired First Symphony ("Nordic") and the symphonic poem North and West. The former pulls heavily from Swedish folk music, and the latter is autobiographical, representative of the composer's identity struggles as he explored the role his heritage should play in what he increasingly realized was Americanist music.

After he assumed the directorship of the Eastman School of Music, a position he held for forty years, Hanson's music lost explicit programmatic elements inspired by Scandinavia. Hanson wrote hundreds of articles and speeches about the importance of furthering American music, became a community leader in Rochester and on a national level, and transformed Eastman into a vital center for the promotion of American composers. His affinity for Swedish music continued to be an important factor in his compositional process, as evidenced by his Third Symphony and the popular comparison of his music to that of Jan Sibelius. Despite this association Hanson is remembered as a transformative figure in American music.

Martinez, Cervantes Ruth Maria. "The Colonial Heritage of Mestizaje in Granada, Nicaragua." Thesis, University of Colorado at Boulder, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10151149.

Full text
Abstract:

This research stems from my questioning regarding the lack of research of precolonial archaeological sites and their almost complete absence in the new industry of tourism. I chose my field site on the city of Granada because of the historical importance in the economy of the country, its foundation as the first establishment of Spanish colonizers, and its centrality today in Nicaraguan tourism. Babb (2004) argues that the introduction to tourism industry provides the opportunity to the Nicaraguan government to remake its image to the outside. This remaking of the country’s image will affect how Nicaraguans view themselves. In that sense my main question is: what are the effects of tourism on the identity of granadinos? I argue that the Nicaraguan government takes an active position in presenting tourists with a modernized (not indigenous or black) Nicaraguan community by silencing their past and present, and presenting to tourists only the European heritage of the country; such narratives gives a partial representation of the Nicaraguan identity to foreign visitors; at the same time it projects and naturalizes Nicaraguan identity as “mestizo.” I conclude tourism narratives are reinforcing a mestizo identity through the colonial heritage. Young mestizos as well as indigenous people continue to admire and emulate foreigners’ accents, clothing, sports, hairdo, etcetera.. I believed that the reason for these changes were rooted in the introduction of tourism and new cultural expressions, however, from this research I concluded that is rooted in the effects of the colonial period on the identity of the population. For centuries the Spanish crown and later the national governments eroded the foundation of the indigenous identity, thus the origins of mestizo identity as well. Thereby creating an identity crisis among both ethnic groups and a deep tension on the subject of identity, furthering the racialization of indigenous and Afro-descendant communities. Mestizaje successfully silenced indigenous populations, and ignored the indigenous origin of mestizos. However, currently mestizos do participate in indigenous cultural expressions departing from the hegemonic concept of mestizo - as in complete opposition to indigenous identity -, although they deny or ignore and racialize indigenous people. I consider that the introduction of tourism has brought changes in the Nicaraguan population. The government narratives based on colonial identities create a new environment where colonial relationships are reproduced. In my opinion this is a negative impact of tourism, however, it may lead to new conversations about colonialist interactions, ethnic identity and racism that remain covert in the everyday lives of Nicaraguans.

Abstract:
This qualitative study explores the complexities of a little studied international student population called heritage seekers. Focusing specifically on Mexican Americans studying abroad in Mexico, this investigation examined a group from California living in the central state of Queretaro. Information on their experience was collected via a questionnaire applied upon their arrival in Mexico and a two hour interview with each of the participants conducted midway through their study abroad. Their experiences were compiled into profiles and analyzed using theories from four different areas of intercultural study including acculturation, identity, Chicano studies, and friendship development. This investigation produced a series of demographic continua, a list of experiences students are likely to encounter, and suggestions for international educators for meeting the needs of this student population.

Full text
Abstract:
The Cumberland Bone Cave is a public visitation stop along the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail renowned for its unique fossil resources that help reconstruct Appalachian middle Pleistocene life in the mid-Atlantic region of North America. This site is gated for safety and to prevent unwanted exploration and damage. Approximately 163 taxa of fossil plant and animals have been collected from Cumberland Bone Cave since 1912. Most of the fossils that have been published pertain to mammals, including many extinct or locally extirpated genera and species. Though the early excavations made by the Smithsonian Institution between 1912 and 1915 are the best known of the work at Cumberland Bone Cave, over many decades multiple institutions and paleontologists have collected and studied the fossil resources from this site up until 2012. Today, fossils from Cumberland Bone Cave are housed at various museum collections, including public displays at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. and the Allegany Museum in Cumberland, Maryland. This report summarizes the geology, fossil resources, and the history of excavation and research for Potomac Heritage Trail’s Cumberland Bone Cave.

Abstract:
Agriculture is an important source of employment in Latin America and the Caribbean. In rural areas, some 54.6 per cent of the labour force is engaged in agricultural production. Although much of the region shares the same language and cultural heritage, the structure and scale of the agriculture sector varies significantly from country to country. Based on the review of 131 digital agriculture tools, this report, prepared by GSMA and IDB Lab, provides a market mapping and landscape analysis of the most prominent cases of digital disruption. It highlights some of the major trends observed in five digital agriculture use cases, identifies opportunities for digital interventions and concludes with recommendations for future engagement that could deliver long-term, sustainable economic and social benefits for smallholder farmers.

Full text
Abstract:
A fundamental responsibility of the National Park Service (NPS) is to ensure that park resources are preserved, protected, and managed in consideration of the resources themselves and for the benefit and enjoyment by the public. Through the inventory, monitoring, and study of park resources, we gain a greater understanding of the scope, significance, distribution, and management issues associated with these resources and their use. This baseline of natural resource information is available to inform park managers, scientists, stakeholders, and the public about the conditions of these resources and the factors or activities that may threaten or influence their stability and preservation. There are several different categories of geologic or stratigraphic units (supergroup, group, formation, member, bed) that represent a hierarchical system of classification. The mapping of stratigraphic units involves the evaluation of lithologies, bedding properties, thickness, geographic distribution, and other factors. Mappable geologic units may be described and named through a rigorously defined process that is standardized and codified by the professional geologic community (North American Commission on Stratigraphic Nomenclature 2005). In most instances when a new geologic unit such as a formation is described and named in the scientific literature, a specific and well-exposed section or exposure area of the unit is designated as the type section or other category of stratotype (see “Definitions” below). The type section is an important reference exposure for a named geologic unit which presents a relatively complete and representative example for this unit. Geologic stratotypes are important both historically and scientifically, and should be available for other researchers to evaluate in the future.. The inventory of all geologic stratotypes throughout the 423 units of the NPS is an important effort in documenting these locations in order that NPS staff recognize and protect these areas for future studies. The focus adopted for completing the baseline inventories throughout the NPS was centered on the 32 inventory and monitoring networks (I&M) established during the late 1990s. The I&M networks are clusters of parks within a defined geographic area based on the ecoregions of North America (Fenneman 1946; Bailey 1976; Omernik 1987). These networks share similar physical resources (e.g., geology, hydrology, climate), biological resources (e.g., flora, fauna), and ecological characteristics. Specialists familiar with the resources and ecological parameters of the network, and associated parks, work with park staff to support network-level activities such as inventory, monitoring, research, and data management. Adopting a network-based approach to inventories worked well when the NPS undertook paleontological resource inventories for the 32 I&M networks. The planning team from the NPS Geologic Resources Division who proposed and designed this inventory selected the Greater Yellowstone Inventory & Monitoring Network (GRYN) as the pilot network for initiating this project. Through the research undertaken to identify the geologic stratotypes within the parks of the GRYN methodologies for data mining and reporting on these resources were established. Methodologies and reporting adopted for the GRYN have been used in the development of this report for the Mojave Desert Inventory & Monitoring Network (MOJN). The goal of this project is to consolidate information pertaining to geologic type sections that occur within NPS-administered areas, in order that this information is available throughout the NPS to inform park managers and to promote the preservation and protection of these important geologic landmarks and geologic heritage resources. The review of stratotype occurrences for the MOJN shows there are currently no designated stratotypes for Joshua Tree National Park (JOTR) or Manzanar National Historic Site (MANZ); Death Valley...
