Review of \u3ci\u3eNative American Performance and Representation\u3c/i\u3e edited by S. E. Wilmer

Modern Native American artistic performances originated in the widespread North American ceremonial complexes that combined community-based oral tradition and musical practice with the visual performative arts. Growing out of a 2002 Ritual and Performance workshop hosted by editor S. E. Wilmer, Native American Performance and Representation illuminates the links that bind American and Canadian Indigenous traditions to their correlate modernities, their diverse ceremonial rituals to expressive artistic performances. This edited volume casts its net broadly, attempting to review and assess the changing nature of Native performance strategies in a multicultural society. But it essentially focuses on post-1960s theatrical performances and media representations (film, video, multimedia productions) as a means of preserving and reasserting community values amid Eurocentric incursions and globalized lifestyles

Expectation, Christianity, and Ownership in Indigenous Hip-Hop: Religion in Rhyme with Emcee One, RedCloud, and Quese, Imc

The juxtaposition of the words Indians, Christianity, and hip hop frequently unearths a sense of the unexpected (Deloria 2004). This is largely because expectations are too frequently confounded by the inability to recognize the links between African- and Native American peoples, the porous boundaries between the sacred and secular, or the complex relationships between Native peoples and Christianity. This article takes a closer look at the connections between indigenous peoples, pious devotion, and subversive rhyme by describing the characteristic ways that Emcee One, Quese, and RedCloud’s relationships to Christianity are inscribed, communicated, and indigenized through the lyrical messaging of modern hiphop. These MCs in word and action loosen totalizing discourses such as the assimilation/acculturation paradigm characteristic of mid-century ethnomusicology, or its modern consequent the localization/appropriation common to contemporary discussions of global hip hop. In the rhymes presented in this article, our MCs articulate everyday strategies that express both the “already local” nature of globalized hip hop (Pennycook and Mitchell 2009) within indigenous North American communities, as well as their distinctive ownership of indigenous spiritualities

Poison plants of Western Australia : the toxic species of the genera Gastrolobium and Oxylobium : wodjil poison (Gastrolobium floribundum S. Moore) breelya or kite-leaf poison (Gastrolobium laytonii J. White) roe\u27s poison (Oxylobium spectabile Endl.) granite poison (Oxylobium graniticum S. Moore)

THIS article deals with four species which are found in the pastoral area although three of them are also present in the agricultural area

Cyanogenetic plants of Western Australia

THIS article deals with the more important cyanogenetic plants found in Western Australia. It also deals with plants which have not been proved as cyanogenetic but which do produce toxic effects similar to those produced by cyanogenetic plants. Symptoms, post mortem appearances and the treatment for affected stock are also dealt with

Poisonous garden plants and other plants harmful to man in Australia.

A number of commonly grown garden plants and many weeds found in gardens are know to be poisonous. Many species found outside garden situations are also harmful to man. All of these are potentially dangerous, particularly to children who are more likely to chew them. This bulletin has been complied in response to frequent requests for information on poisonous plants, particularly in relation to human poisonings.https://researchlibrary.agric.wa.gov.au/bulletins3/1005/thumbnail.jp

West Midlands development : poison plants in the West Midlands

TOXIC plants have caused considerable economic loss to stock raisers since the early days of settlement in Western Australia. Although much is now known of the toxic materials contained in such plants, and although most of the plants have been thoroughly publicised, losses are still occurring in many areas

Poison plants of Western Australia : the toxic species of the genera Gastrolobium and Oxylobium : Champion Bay poison (G. oxylobioides Benth.), Sandplain poison (G. microcarpum Meissn.), Cluster poison (G. bennettsianum C.A. Gardn.), Hutt River poison (G. propinquum C.A. Gardn.), Gilbernine poison (G. rotundifolium Meissn.)

THIS article deals with five species of the genus Gastrolobium. The plants look rather similar so in the past have often been confused. They occur over a considerable area of the agricultural region of Western Australia

Poison plants of Western Australia : crinkle-leaf poison (Gastrolobium villosum Benth.), runner poison (G. ovalifolium Henfr.), horned poison and hill river poison (G. polystachyum Meissn.), woolly poison (G. tomentosum C.A. Gardn.)

THIS article deals with four toxic species of the genus Gastrolobium which are superficially similar to one other. Two of these species are prostrate in habit; the other two are more upright but are generally short in stature

Poison plants in the garden

SOME 18 commonly grown garden plants are known to be toxic and many local home gardens have five or six of them. Several other species can cause skin ailments

Poison plants of Western Australia : the toxic species of the genera Gastrolobium and Oxylobium. 1. Characteristics of the group

THE toxic species of the genera Gastrolobium and Oxylobium are a unique group of poison plants which have caused considerable economic loss to stock-raisers in Western Australia ever since the early days of settlement. These plants are widely distributed over the agricultural areas of the south-west, and, with the opening up of large tracts of land for stock-raising, the danger is as high as it has even been
