92	Emerging Tick-Borne Diseases in Northeast Tennessee Schultz, Jacob 01 May 2023 (has links) Tick populations have been immigrating into northeast Tennessee from east Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and North Carolina. Counties in states bordering northeast Tennessee harbor tick species associated with human illness. Human diseases transmitted by ticks include ehrlichiosis, spotted fever rickettsial group diseases, tularemia, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, Heartland virus, Powassan virus, and southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI). These diseases cause morbidity and mortality in human populations and may pose a high risk to individuals, wildlife, and livestock. The Cherokee National Forest covering the east Tennessee border provides a permissible environment for ticks to immigrate and thrive. Residents of northeast Tennessee frequently use the natural environment for a variety of purposes, creating exposure risk at the human-animal-environment interface. This study performed a scoping review and meta-analysis addressing topics informing epidemiological investigation of tick populations. The meta-analysis identified geography, climate, and Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index as the most significant variables associated with northeast Tennessee tick populations. Additionally, tick surveillance in northeast Tennessee counties was performed. These counties included Carter, Greene, Hancock, Hawkins, Johnson, Washington, and Unicoi. Primary tick species present in the summer included the American Dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis); the winter included the Blacklegged/Deer tick (Ixodes scapularis). Canonical correlation analysis was used to identify which environmental variables had the most influence, to what degree, and in a positive or negative direction. Altitude, total forest land, forest canopy, and fraction of surface water area were statistically significant. More altitude was correlated with more clinical cases; less total forest land, canopy, and fraction of surface water area was correlated with less clinical cases. Lastly, species distribution modeling of the invasive Asian longhorned tick was conducted. Study results indicate a low to moderate risk for tick-borne illness exposures among human populations, which is poised to increase. Species distribution modeling and clinical case data reports suggested an increasing exposure risk from improved habitat suitability. Increased risk is related to climate change and tick population growth in metropolitan areas. Finally, surveillance and control methods are summarized for integration into public health interventions. tick-borne disease Cherokee National Forest phylogenetics MaxEnt Environmental Public Health Epidemiology Infectious Disease Public Health Veterinary Infectious Diseases
93	The Mysterious Mounds: Indian Mounds And Contested American Landscapes Timmerman, Nicholas Andrew 11 August 2017 (has links) This project argues that by examining how non-indigenous individuals such as American scientists and Euro-American explorers thought and formulated ideas about indigenous mounds proves that their construction of racial identities is inextricable from their understanding of the landscape. The mounds proved to be “mysterious” man-made features to non-indigenous people who interacted with these places in the decades and centuries after they were constructed. The mystery behind the mounds stemmed from a general lack of written record about the mounds, giving non-indigenous individuals a “free hand” to offer theories about their original purpose. Each chapter of this project examines a window in time, beginning with early European exploration and continuing through the twentyirst century, which reveals the changing role the mounds played in understanding North America’s indigenous past. This project builds upon theories of landscape history and intellectual environmental history, demonstrating that the mounds challenge preconceived notions about regional definitions and the Euro-centric divide between what is labeled North American “pre-history” and “history.” For example, mounds exist in the American South, but they also exist in places such as Michigan, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Oklahoma. Additionally, the presence of large American Indian urban centers built around mound structures that rivaled European cities at the time, challenging Euro-centric definitions about North American “pre-history.” Although this project is not an indigenous history, it is important to recognize the significance of mound structures for American Indian people overtime. By unpacking some of the history of important sites such as the Nanih Waiya mound near Philadelphia, Mississippi, and the Kituwah mound near Bryson City, North Carolina, this project acknowledges a long cultural connection to specific mound sites for some modern American Indian people. The fact that in 1996 the Eastern Band of Cherokee purchased the Kituwah mound, and in 2008 the state of Mississippi gave Nanih Waiya to the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, dramatically alters the end of this story. Thus by tracing this story through the twentyirst century, this demonstrates the complexity of repatriation and contemporary issues of “who speaks for the tribe” remains, offering a different direction in which the story of American Indians is told. landscape history environmental history Indian Mound Clarence Bloomfield Moore Smithsonian Institution James Griffin Choctaw Cherokee Kituwah Nanih Waiya American Indian archaeology Indigenous mound

Son regard porte principalement la centralisation des institutions politiques, la transformation des règles qui définissent l’appartenance à la nation, et l’évolution des rôles des genres dans la famille et dans l’économie pendant la période entre la signature du traité de paix de 1794 et l’adoption par les Cherokees d’une Constitution fortement inspirée de celle des États-Unis, en 1827. / Demographic shifts, pressures to assimilate, military disasters, and territorial rivalries : this thesis studies how Cherokee society was transformed by these forces during the «long 18th century» that began with the intensification of contacts with European settlers in the early 1700s and that ended with the Cherokees’ removal to the Indian Territory (located in today’s Oklahoma) in the late 1830s. It focuses on the centralisation of political institutions, the transformation of the rules governing tribal membership and acceptance, and the changing roles of men and women in the family and in the Cherokee economy, primarily between the signing of the 1794 peace treaty with the United States and the adoption of a Constitutional government by the Cherokee Nation in 1827.

97	Harvesting The Seeds Of Early American Human And Nonhuman Animal Relationships In William Bartram's Travels, The Travel Diary Of Elizabeth House Trist, And Sarah Trimmer's Fabulous Histories Vives, Leslie Blake 01 January 2012 (has links) This thesis uses ecofeminist and human-animal studies lenses to explore human animal and nonhuman animal relations in early America. Most ecocritical studies of American literature begin with nineteenth-century writers. This project, however, suggests that drawing on ecofeminist theories with a human-animal studies approach sheds light on eighteenth-century texts as well. Early American naturalist travel writing offers a site replete with human and nonhuman encounters. Specifically, naturalist William Bartram's travel journal features interactions with animals in the southern colonial American frontier. Amateur naturalist Elizabeth House Trist's travel diary includes interactions with frontier and domestic animals. Sarah Trimmer's Fabulous Histories, a conduct manual that taught children acceptable behavior towards animals, provides insight about the social regulation of human and nonhuman relationships during the late eighteenth century, when Bartram and Trist wrote their texts. This thesis identifies and analyzes textual sites that blur the human subject/and animal object distinction and raise questions about the representation of animals as objects. This project focuses on the subtle discursive subversions of early Euroamerican naturalist science present in Bartram's Travels (1791) and the blurring of human/animal boundaries in Trist's Travel Diary (1783-84); Trimmer's Fabulous Histories (1794) further complicates the Euroamerican discourse of animals as curiosities. These texts form part of a larger but overlooked discourse in early British America that anticipated more well-known and nonhuman-centric texts in the burgeoning early nineteenth-century American animal rights movement.

98	From Tidewater to Tennessee: The Structuring Influences of Virginia Schemata in the Settlement of East Tennessee Nakoff, Slade 01 May 2024 (has links) (PDF) For over two hundred years, historians have debated the historical importance of early Tennessee migrants in shaping the state’s history. These discussions center around North Carolina's impact compared to Virginia's. By shifting discourse to the retention of migrant mentalities, the overwhelming influence of Virginia emerges through the continuity of privilege and commodification schemata. This study employs an interdisciplinary methodological approach combining schema theory, memory studies, and material culture analysis to outline the retention of mentalities from Tidewater, Virginia, to East Tennessee during the early settlement period. By utilizing the case study of John Carter of Watauga (1728-1781), the research illustrates how Virginian origins shaped settlers’ perceptions of privilege through inheritance, ordered society, and models of success, as well as commodification through ownership, resource extraction, and speculation. Findings reveal that Virginian mental frameworks were foundational paradigms, guiding settlers’ actions and perpetuating hierarchical structures within Tennessee society. Despite the opportunity for deviation that migration and community establishment provided, elite settlers chose to assimilate and reestablish the dominant position of Virginian schemata within their new environment. The persistence of Virginian schemata in Tennessee informs broader questions of identity formation, migrant nostalgia, and the enduring legacy of colonial mentalities in shaping American history.
