Abstract

The names at first are those of animals and of birds, of objects that have one definition in the eye, another in the hand, of forms and features on the rim of the world, or of sounds that carry on the bright wind and in the void. They are old and original in the mind, like the beat of rain on the river, and intrinsic in the native tongue, failing even as those who bear them turn once in the memory, go on, and are gone, forever. Presentant les premiers resultats d'un travail en cours, l'A. propose un inventaire provisoire des termes sous lesquels les Saponi, un groupe amerindien faisant partie des Siouan de l'Est, furent identifies au cours de leur migration historique. Selon l'A., quelle que soit la diversite des noms utilises - en langues autochtones ou en langues europeennes - un Saponi est simplement un Siouan. Et la maniere dont les Saponi se designent eux-memes : Yesan, signifie nous, le peuple.

The history of displaced people is rarely commemorated. In the late 1600s, the Tutelo Indians were driven out of their homelands in Virginia by Europeans. Their diaspora involved moving to North Carolina, then to another part of Virginia, and to refugee settlements in Pennsylvania. In 1753, the Tutelos were offered sanctuary with the Cayuga Nation in New York. For 26 years, the Tutelos maintained their cultural identity, continued their own language and customs, and governed their internal affairs in their village of Coreorgonel, near present-day Ithaca. During the infamous Sullivan Campaign of 1779, the neutral village of Coreorgonel was burned to the ground. The Tutelos were refugees again, ultimately resettling on the Six Nations Reserve in Canada. In Ithaca, archaeologists collaborating with Native Americans, town planners, and landowners resulted in the creation of Tutelo Park, a commemorative park with a mission to reveal and communicate the Tutelos’ history.KeywordsNative AmericansCommemorative parkService-learningGrowth management Participatory dialogueParticipatory dialogue

The factories to manufacture the cloth textile products need an automatic defect detection system to improve efficiency. However, the warp knitted fabric often used for sports etc. uniforms has a complicated structure. Therefore, the defects of warp knitted fabric cannot be detected by the existing methods such as the methods using a laser beam. We had proposed a method to detect the defects of warp knitted fabric by using block division and two different filters. This method needs a number of parameters, such as coordinates of perspective transformation, the width of block division, and a revision value of the threshold value at the time of judgment. Therefore, it has the problem that a number of parameters needs to be set manually. This paper proposed an inspection method using the block division and two kinds of filters which does not need the manual setting before inspection. The procedure is as follows: 1. The angle of the texture pattern is calculated from the image of cloth captured by a camera. This captured image is rotated based on this calculated angle. 2. The suitable block width is determined by calculating the cycle of a cloth pattern of transformed image. 3. The existence of a defect is detected without setting the threshold value manually by comparing the tendency of distribution of the filters output with a normal distribution. Based on the experimental results, it was confirmed that the defects of different types of cloth were correctly detectable from the image captured by a camera attached to a weaving machine placed in factory by using the proposal method.

The Inlet Valley Project started in 1993 as a service-learning partnership course with a Native American community, local farmers, property owners, developers, and town officials. The course was interdisciplinary and cross-cultural. The format and goals of the project evolved to include a focus on cultural history as it informs park planning and design decisions. The partnership continued through numerous service-learning courses and ended 14 years later with the opening of a new town park. The Inlet Valley Project demonstrates how service-learning courses benefit diverse partners and provide tangible benefits to maintaining and strengthening community partnerships.

“Service-learning,” is the higher education reform movement to connect community service to academic courses. Since the 1960s, it has involved summer internships (both paid and unpaid), course credit internships, placing students in government agencies for a semester, experiential education, field-study courses, urban semesters involving students in diverse antipoverty programs, and has even included international study programs. In the 1960s, with the establishment of the Peace Corps and VISTA, universities became interested in providing opportunities for students to gain “real world” experiences by working in communities through internship programs. In 1971, the National Center for Service-Learning was established to help promote community outreach and one of the efforts was to help high school and college administrations evaluate ways to offer credit for servicelearning experiences (Bounous, 1997: 5). In the 1970s, there was federal funding for students to engage in community internship as part of the antipoverty programs. In the 1980s, the Reagan administration cut federal funding for paid anti-poverty program internships, and community service moved to a model where the work was connected to academic courses (Lounsbury and Routt, 2000: 28). The National Community Service Act of 1993, signed by President William Jefferson Clinton, further strengthened these academic initiatives for public outreach. Today, the term “servicelearning” is “typically used to refer to a course-based, credit-bearing educational experience where students participate in organized service that meets community needs, and reflect on the service to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility” (Lounsbury and Routt, 2000: 27). Often these service-learning courses are offered in departments of sociology, education, planning, political science, government, labor relations, but usually archaeology courses are notably absent. However, archaeology courses could integrate community service simply as a module within the courses.
