Water is one of, if not the most, valued natural resource on the planet. Over the years, the quality of Earth's waters has deteriorated primarily due to pollution. All ecosystems are highly dependent on this resource, which makes it very important to protect water from unnecessary pollution. One ecosystem that has been greatly affected by pollution, mainly as a result from runoff of fertilizers used by farmers in the region, has been the Everglades located in south Florida. As a result, the protection and desire to restore this ecosystem has become the subject for litigation in recent years. The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians is the chief litigant for the pursuit for improved water quality due to their dependence on the water of the Everglades for survival. This thesis will examine the Everglades in its entirety by providing a history of the establishment of the Everglades as well as a description of the Everglades ecosystem and the water quality. The thesis will then introduce the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians and how they have become dependent on the Everglades ecosystem. Finally, the thesis will examine the involvement of the state and federal government in the issue of water quality through various agencies and pieces of legislation. The purpose of this thesis is to then analyze several cases in which the Miccosukee Tribe has been an interested party and sought to achieve improvements for the water quality of the Everglades. In addition to the original cases, the thesis will provide subsequent case history through its most current status. The thesis will explain whether the Miccosukee Tribe has been successful in its attempt to provide strict standards for water quality and hold those in violation of these standards responsible for their actions.

155 p. / Lone Pine Indian Shaker Village, located in The Dalles, Oregon, is the last remaining example of a late nineteenth century fishing settlement, a resource type that once proliferated along the banks of the Columbia River. Lone Pine Indian Shaker Village is also significant for its association with mixed heritage settlement, Native American fishing traditions, and the Indian Shaker Religion, a religion unique to the Northwest. This is an historical and architectural study of the village which includes the historical context and detailed description of the built environment, as it exists today and has evolved over time. Photographs, measured drawings, oral interviews and archival research are used to document and analyze the history and built environment of the village. Also included is a discussion of Treatment and Use options, followed by the author's recommendation for preservation and use of the village complex as an interpretive site. Today the village complex is vacant and suffers from neglect, and on November 19, 1996 the Indian Shaker Church collapsed under snow loads. Although an unfortunate event, it brings the issue of preservation of the entire site to the forefront. If no management plan is developed this valuable piece of Northwest cultural history will be lost forever. / Keepers of the Preservation Education Fund's H. Ward Jandl Fellowship

Jeansmarknaden idag i Sverige är präglad av hög konkurrens med många olika aktörer somverkar där. De senaste åren har en speciell kundgrupp vuxit fram vilka kallas jeansnördar.Dessa konsumenter och deras syn på jeans är i dagsläget inte kartlagt vilket därförhuvudsyftet med studien. Under studien har vi kommit i kontakt med ett svenskt jeansföretagvid namn Pace Jeans som vi intervjuade och fick därigenom hjälp med att identifiera personersom kunde hjälpa oss att uppnå vårt syfte. Genom att ställa oss frågan hur företaget ser påjeansnörden och hur det här skiljer sig från hur den faktiska konsumenten är. Huvudfrågan fördenna studie är vem jeansnörden är och hur denne ser på jeans. Förhoppningen är att se hurväl det stämmer överens eller om fokusföretaget borde tänka om. Studien kan även användasav nystartade jeansföretag som vill närma sig jeansnörden då den visar på hur dennakonsumenten ser på jeans. För att kunna utföra den här studien har vi valt att använda oss aven kvalitativ metod där vi har gjort en strukturerad intervju med grundaren för det svenskajeansföretaget och även genomfört två stycken fokusgruppsintervjuer. Valet av dessa metodervar naturligt då vi vill få fram jeansnördens åsikter och beteende kring inköpet av ett parjeans.För att kunna kartlägga kunden använder vi oss av konsumentbeteendeteorier som bland annatgäller hur informationsökningen går till innan ett inköp och applicerar det på jeansnörden föratt kunna se hur dessa uppträder som konsumenter. Vi ställer oss även frågan om jeansnördenär del av en subkultur och hur en sådan då skulle se ut. Det kunde vi inte hitta något somstödjer i empirin, däremot fanns det likheter mellan dessa och hur en neostam är uppbyggd.En neostam är mindre rigid än en subkultur och tar dessutom in influenser från kulturen somfinns runtomkring den vilket vi kunde konstatera att jeansnörden gör.Som konsument är jeansnörden kvalitetssökande och har en god förkunskap för vilkamodeller och varumärken som den finner önskvärda. Kvalitet är det som jeansnörden sättersom det främsta vid ett inköp av ett par nya jeans. Det behov som framstår som det främstaför att jeansnörden väljer att klä sig i den typen av jeans den gör är att förverkliga sig självoch med jeansen vill dessa smycka ut sig själva. Därigenom minskar avståndet mellanidealjaget och det faktiska jaget och på så sätt får jeansnörden en bättre självbild.Det svenska jeansföretagets föreställningar om hur jeansnörden är kom vi fram till att det härtill en viss del stämmer överens. Vad vi kom fram till var att på produktnivå stämmer PaceJeans och jeansnördens syn på jeans överens väldigt bra.Gällande framtida forskning skulle vi vilja se en studie som svarar på frågan hur mankommunikationsmässigt bäst når denna kund?The denim market in Sweden today is tinged by competition with a lot of different players.During the last couple of years a new group of consumers have grown forth, these are calleddenim nerds. These consumers and their view on denim has not yet been studied. This is themain purpose of this study. During this study we have come in contact with a swedish denimbrand, which we have interviewed in order to identify their view on denim. The interwievhelped us to identify people who we came to phrase as denim nerds and accomplish thepurpose of this study. By asking the question how the denim brand views their costumer andhow well this view match with what we have found about the denim nerds. The main questionof this study is who is the denim nerd and what is their view on denim Our goal is to seewhether company is on the right track or if they need to reconsider their views. The study canalso be used by new denim brands who wants to approach these type of customer. In order toconduct this study we have used a qualitative method and we have done one structuredinterview with the founder of the swedish denim brand and also conducted two focal groupinterviews. The choice of these methods where natural because our goal was to find out thedenim nerds views and behaviour concerning the purchase of a new pair of denimjeans.In order to be able to study the consumer we have used theories concerning consumerbehaviourism, which among other things includes information search prior to purchase, andthen we have applied this on the consumer in order to see how they behave. We also askedourselves whether the denim can be labeled as a subculture, a question that we could notanswer based on our empirical study. On the other hand we found similarities between thedenim nerds and what an neo-tribe is made up off. A neo-tribe is less rigid in its structure andtakes influences from the surrounding culture which we found empirical evidence for in ourstudy.As a consumer the denim nerd is searching for quality and has good knowledge of thedifferent styles of denim jeans which they find interesting. Quality is the aspect which thedenim nerd puts in front of all other things when searching for a new pair of jeans. The needwhich drives the denim nerd to buy a new pair of jeans is above all other self-realisation andthe need to ornament oneself is also important. By doing so the gap between the self and idealself is lessened and denim nerd will get an improved ego image.The Swedish denim brand ideas about the denim nerd is according to the study somewhat inharmony with how the denim nerd acts and thinks, especially on product level. What wefound was that on product level Pace Jeans and the denim nerds view on jeans harmoniceswell.On future studies we would like to see a study which answers the question how this costumerbest should be reached? The study is written in Swedish. / Program: Textilekonomutbildningen

No. of bitstreams: 1 toni_ bandeira.pdf: 7332691 bytes, checksum: 750c16a0ca17ed3f8de238eaaf0a2cfb (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-09-02 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / ABSTRACT: In this research we analyze the representation of the native tribe Kaingang presented in a series of 39 illustrations produced by Joaquin José de Miranda about the tenth expedition destined to brave the so called sertões of the area of Tibagi in the Paraná State. This expedition was commanded by Alfonso Botelho in the year of 1771. The native tribe of the Kaingang is the third in number os population in Brazil, with 37,470 individuals. (IBGE, 2010). The integrants of this group live in the three States of the South and also in the west part of the Sate of São Paulo. They speak the Kaingang language which is connected to the linguistic Jê family, from the principal root of Macro-jê. In 1771, Botelho established contact with the Kaingang from the fields of Guarapuava and two weeks later the natives ge to organize an ambush in which they killed seven from Botelhos‟s soldiers. So he had no choice but leaving the area. In this sense, we reflect about the ways of the natives‟ resistance in front of the invasion of their territory and in the same way we reflect also about the idea of the demographic emptiness by which the idea of the existence of groups of natives in the territory of the nowadays State of Paraná is just denied and there is just the reproduction of de discourse that this land was uninhabited until the Portuguese-Brazilian or immigrants from others countries could come and cultivate them. Concerning this thematic, the theoretical studies done by Mota (1994) and Ribeiro (2002) are fundamental. Once we face Miranda‟s illustrations a dialogue with the works by Belluzzo and Piccoli (2003), Amoroso (2003) and Sevcenko (2003) is established, as well as Alfonso Botelho‟s very own report about the happenings of the expedition (SAMPAIO E SOUZA, 1956) which is crucial to the understanding of Miranda‟s drawings. Among the fundamental studies about the Kaingang‟s culture, history and language we highlight those done by Ambrosetti (1895), Baldus, (1937), Borba (1908), D‟Angelis (2002), Lima (1842), Mota (2009) and Veiga (2006). By the analisis os the illustrations we can say that Miranda‟s imagetic narrativeis a material of great value to the history of the Kaingang people once through it it is possible to reflect about the chocks between the colonizers and the Kaingang people in the fields of Gaurapuava. These illustrations also show up the inconsistence of the thesis of a geographical emptiness as well as they reveal the resistance movement of the Kaingang against the invasion of their territory. / RESUMO: Nesta pesquisa, analisamos a representação imagética do povo Kaingang no conjunto de trinta e sete estampas produzidas por Joaquim José de Miranda sobre a décima das expedições destinadas a desbravar os chamados sertões do Tibagi, no Estado do Paraná, expedição esta comandada por Afonso Botelho, no ano de 1771. O povo indígena Kaingang é o terceiro em número de população no Brasil, com 37.470 indivíduos. (IBGE, 2010). Seus integrantes vivem nos três estados da região Sul do país e também no oeste de São Paulo, são falantes da língua Kaingang, a qual se filia à família linguística Jê, do tronco Macro-Jê. Em 1771, Botelho entrou em contato com os Kaingang dos Campos de Guarapuava, duas semanas depois os indígenas prepararam uma emboscada e lograram matar sete soldados de Botelho, o qual não teve outra opção a não ser retirar-se da região. Nesse sentido, refletimos sobre as formas de resistência indígena ante a invasão de seu território, bem como sobre a ideia do vazio demográfico , na qual a existência de grupos indígenas no atual estado do Paraná simplesmente é negada, reproduzindo-se o discurso de que essas terras eram desabitadas, até que os luso-brasileiros ou imigrantes de outros países viessem cultivá-las. Em relação a essa temática, são fundamentais como base teórica os estudos de Mota (1994) e Ribeiro (2002). Ao abordarmos as estampas de Miranda, dialogamos com os trabalhos de Belluzzo e Piccoli (2003), Amoroso (2003) e Sevcenko (2003), além do relatório do próprio Afonso Botelho sobre os acontecimentos da expedição (SAMPAIO E SOUZA, 1956), o qual é crucial para a compreensão dos desenhos de Miranda. Dos estudos fundamentais para a cultura, história e língua Kaingang destacamos os de Ambrosetti (1895), Baldus, (1937), Borba (1908), D‟Angelis (2002), Lima (1842), Mota (2009) e Veiga (2006). Por meio da análise das estampas, podemos dizer que a narrativa imagética de Miranda é um material de grande valor para a história do povo Kaingang, por meio do qual é possível refletir sobre o embate entre os colonizadores e os indígenas nos Campos de Guarapuava, notando-se a inconsistência da tese do vazio demográfico , bem como a resistência Kaingang à invasão de seu território.

Focusing on communication as an important means besides other efforts for conflict resolution in an asymmetric armed conflict in Afghanistan, this study looked for a rhetorical communication approach appropriate to Pashtun tribal setting in South-eastern (Loya Paktya region) Afghanistan. The study explored and found some perceived essentials of such persuasive communication by conducting face-to-face semi-structured in depth interviews with 17 participants. Thematic analysis was used to code and categorize data. Aristotle’s rhetorical theory provided a framework for this qualitative study by narrowing down the focus to exploring credibility of the communicator (ethos), the rationality of the message (logos), and the emotional appeals (pathos), particular for the south-eastern Pashtun tribal setting, during communication. In addition, considering the relation between rhetorical and soft power theories in influencing the choice of an audience, this project also asked participants if and how communication in their tribal setting could be framed as an influencing power by attraction rather than by coercion. Therefore, soft power of which persuasive communication is a crucial part was also used as a theoretical framework for this study. The findings show the significance of persuasive communication in future conflict resolution efforts in Afghanistan.

The permanent Grand Ronde Reservation, settled in 1855 and established by presidential executive order in 1857, was terminated by Congress, and the tribal people lost their Federal recognition. The seven ratified treaties that ceded to the United States millions of acres of land, most of western Oregon, which was occupied by over 60 tribal nations, were nullified. These 60 tribes were declared by Congress to be assimilated, and termination was enacted to free them from continued government management and oppression. In western Oregon, native people appeared to cease to exist, and for 29 years the Grand Ronde descendants suffered disenfranchisement and a multitude of social problems. The reservation's tribal cultures, languages, and community were severely fractured and much was lost. Terminated tribal members were rejected by other tribes as having willingly sold out to the Federal government. During the post-termination era, despite all of the problems the tribal members faced, they found ways to survive and worked to restore the tribe. In 1983, the Grand Ronde Tribe was restored. This research gathers disparate information from political, anthropological, historical, and tribal sources to analyze and understand the termination of the Grand Ronde Reservation. Revealed are the many political issues of the 1940s and 1950s that contributed to termination. Oral histories and government correspondence and reports from the era are referenced to illuminate the reality of tribal life in the post-termination era. The research connects to historic strategies of the Federal government to colonize all aboriginal lands and to assimilate Indians. Finally, this study seeks to unveil the history of the Grand Ronde Reservation and its peoples so that the tribal people may understand and recover from the effects of the termination of the tribe. The continued effects of termination are explored, discussed, and connected to issues of tribal identity and indigenous decolonization. / Adviser: Lynn Stephen
