Chata Sia “I am Choctaw”. Using Images as a Methodology for Cultural and Technological Discourse

Unlike positivist quantitative designs, many qualitative researchers tend to dive right into data collection without benefit of an exploratory study or other pilot study. The purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) to share an image-based methodology adapted from a community strategic planning process and applied to an exploratory study of one native American tribes reaction to cultural images and\ud ICT’s, and (2) to share the many benefits of a pilot study in advance of a larger qualitative research study, including opportunities for discourse around ICT’s in relation to local culture

Review of \u3ci\u3eFrontier Medicine: From the Atlantic to the Pacific, 1492-1941\u3c/i\u3e by David Dary

This survey of medicine in the U.S. from European contact to World War II rambles from generalities to anecdotes in a manner much like the cowboy Dary describes in his preface, who started up one canyon and came out another. While the premise of the book might seem self-evident (that the practice of frontier medicine began long before the Oregon Trail), it offers little insight into the idea of the frontier, omitting Turner\u27s Frontier Thesis entirely, and relies more on chronology than context for its narrative.

The Styles of Clothing Worn by Women in Minnesota from 1870 to 1880

My thesis was a study of the different styles of women\u27s clothing worn in Minnesota during the 1870\u27s. I have had two basic purposes for the study reported in this thesis. I hoped to provide an understanding of the influences that affected the clothing worn by women in Minnesota during the years 1870-1880. I also desired to assemble an illustrated record of typical women\u27s fashion during this period. Pioneer women, who settled even in remote corners of the state, still tried to keep up to date with the fashion prevalent in the rest of the nation, but concessions to fashion were made because of lack of money and the harsh working conditions on the frontier. I have provided an overview of the forces which were acting on women\u27s lives shape their clothing choices. First I examined what was influencing clothing styles throughout the country, as fashionable women\u27s clothing in Minnesota generally followed the styles on the East Coast. I then examined how conditions specific to Minnesota affected fashion and styles throughout the state
