Landscapes of Removal and Resistance: Edwin James\u27s Nineteenth-Century Cross-Cultural Collaborations

The life of Edwin James (1797-1861) is bookended by the Lewis and Clark expedition (1803-6) and the Civil War (1861-65). James\u27s work engaged key national concerns of western exploration, natural history, Native American relocation, and slavery. His principled stands for preservation of lands and animals in the Trans-Mississippi West and his opposition to Indian relocation should be celebrated today, yet his legacy does not fit neatly into established literary or historical categories. One reason for James\u27s obscurity is his willingness to collaborate. Both of his major works, Account of an Expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains (1823) and A Narrative of the Captivity and Adventures of John Tanner (1830), as well as many of his articles, were published with his name listed as editor or compiler rather than as author. The explorer Major Stephen H. Long and the Native American captive John Tanner were his two primary collaborators, yet James\u27s name has fallen from the covers of his books. In addition to his major collaborative volumes, James worked closely with leading scientists in the eastern United States, such as John Torrey and Amos Eaton. Despite some successes, competition from other leading writers and scientists, especially Thomas Nuttall and Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, may have discouraged him from writing in his later years. In this article, I argue that James resisted prevailing and exploitative land-use policies and environmental attitudes while he illuminated the relationship between ethnicity and landscape. First, I situate James\u27s collaborative relationships and argue for the importance and uniqueness of his voice. Next, I examine James\u27s early career as botanist for the 1819-20 Major Long expedition to the Rocky Mountains to show his belief that the Great Plains-or Great American Desert -should be preserved through game laws and even be reserved for Native American hunters. I also discuss James\u27s work with the so-called White Indian John Tanner as a cross-cultural collaboration and explain how their collaborative texts resisted Andrew Jackson\u27s 1830 Indian Relocation Act. Finally, I examine the ramifications of the personal and political disputes that occurred in the 1830s between James, Tanner, and the important Indian agent and ethnologist Henry Rowe Schoolcraft. While the collaborative nature of James\u27s writing has obscured his popular legacy, his willingness to collaborate demonstrates the integrity he displayed during a period of intense scientific and literary competition

Forester - From Dream to Reality

In 6th grade I gave a speech that I wanted to be a forester. Ten years later I received my B.S. in Forest Resource Management in college. I worked seasonally in fire with the BLM, on a TSV Stand Exam crew in Idaho on the Clearwater National Forest, and as the Environmental Ed/Work Project coordinator for a 40 person YCC camp on the Arapaho/Roosevelt National Forest in Colorado

A Brief Taxonomy of Inclusive Pedagogies: What Faculty Can Do Differently to Teach More Inclusively

At the All-Campus Forum in August 2016, President Mary Dana Hinton called for us to create an “ecosystem of inclusion” at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University (CSB/SJU). Faculty members’ work with students is central to creating such an ecosystem, but what do we mean by “inclusion?” In this essay, we provide an overview of our evolving understanding of “inclusive pedagogy,” as informed by our work administering and participating in multiple faculty development workshops funded by twin grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.1 “Faculty Formation to Support Liberal Learning for All” was awarded to CSB under principal investigator President Mary Dana Hinton. It is administered by Jean Keller and includes a cohort of humanities faculty members. “Faculty Development to Engage Increasingly Diverse Students” was awarded to SJU under principal investigator President Michael Hemesath. It is administered by Kyhl Lyndgaard and includes a cohort of First-Year Seminar faculty members. Both grants run throughout the 2015-2017 academic years

Rediscoveries and Presumed Extinctions of Hawaiian Leaf-roller Moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Three species of endemic Hawaiian leaf-roller moths were rediscovered after a 90-year gap in collection records. Twenty-one other species are presumed extinct, with no collection records from the past 50 years. Remarks concerning the type localities of four species (Cydia chlorostola, C. gypsograpta, C. parapteryx, and Pararrhaptica leucostichas) described by Meyrick are given. A list of all described endemic Hawaiian Tortricidae is provided with corresponding years for when each species was last reliably seen or collected as well as the type locality (when known). For each species, we include a list of known or hypothesized host plants, which we hope will spur future rediscoveries and conservation efforts for this group which has, to date, been ignored in conservation planning

Five New Species of Hawaiian Endemic Fancy Case Caterpillars from a Recently Established Forest Reserve on Maui (Cosmopterigidae: Hyposmocoma)

We here describe five new species of Hawaiian fancy case caterpillars, Hyposmocoma Butler (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae), from East Maui: Hyposmocoma (Hyposmocoma) starrorum sp. n., H. (H.) kukilakila sp. n., H. (H.) makaohuna sp. n., H. (H.) kamehamenui sp. n., and H. (H.) desilvai sp. n. They were collected during biodiversity surveys of the recently established Kamehamenui State Forest Reserve. All newly described species are endemic to East Maui, and likely even restricted to particular parts of Haleakalā. They represent a fraction of the undescribed diversity in the endemic genus Hyposmocoma and the discovery of these new species suggests that conservation initiatives and access to reserves will reveal significant additional diversity in one of Hawaiʻi’s most diverse adaptive radiations
