The Indian history of an American institution: Native Americans and Dartmouth
No full textAbout the Book
(from upne.com) Dartmouth College began life as an Indian school, a pretense that has since been abandoned. Still, the institution has a unique, if complicated, relationship with Native Americans and their history. Beginning with Samson Occom’s role as the first “development officer” of the college, Colin G. Calloway tells the entire, complex story of Dartmouth’s historical and ongoing relationship with Native Americans. Calloway recounts the struggles and achievements of Indian attendees and the history of Dartmouth alumni’s involvements with American Indian affairs. He also covers more recent developments, such as the mascot controversies, the emergence of an active Native American student organization, and the partial fulfillment of a promise deferred. This is a fascinating picture of an elite American institution and its troubled relationship— at times compassionate, at times conflicted—with Indians and Native American culture.

Lacking Proper Nutrition in Calloway County
No full text“Lacking Proper Nutrition in Calloway County”
Author: Elizabeth Lay, Student at Murray State University
Faculty: Dr. Miranda Terry, Public and Community Health Program Director
The purpose of mapping locations in ArcGIS is to be aware if a location is an asset or a barrier of proper nutrition. Lack of nutrition can lead to negative health consequences for an individual. Some of the identified locations were local restaurants, food pantries and grocery stores. During the mapping, it was important to map all locations that were within Calloway County to ensure proper representation of the county as a whole. Following the mapping, we noticed that all of the assets and nearly all of the barriers were within the city limits of Murray, Kentucky which resides within Calloway County. It was also observed that there were more barriers of good nutrition than there were assets. From this we can learn and develop new means of providing assets to members of the community who reside outside of the Murray city limits

No full textTime and the Valuation of Environmental Resources
No full textThis paper considers the modeling strategies that have been used to incorporate time in revealed and stated preference methods for valuing environmental resources. After reviewing a subset of the economic models for describing time as an input to household production; time in creating habits and persistence in demand for particular services of environmental resources, and time as offering an opportunity for future consumption, the overview suggests that time has been used as a complement in production or consumption to marketed goods in each of these frameworks. The paper suggests two possible alternatives. This structure along with further restrictions to preferences or technology implies that there are other strategies for using revealed preference data to measure the economic value of changes in environmental quality.

Calloway, Ed., Our Hearts Fell On The Ground - Plains Indian Views On How The West Was Lost
No full textOur Hearts Fell to the Ground follows the fate of Plains Indian people as they recoiled from, resisted, and accommodated the dramatic and devastating effects of military campaigns, forced removals, and cultural terrorism during the nineteenth century. Both a companion volume to Calloway's earlier The World Turned Upside Down: Indian Voices from Early America (1994) and a collection of native voices able to stand on its own, this latest addition to the Bedford Series on History and Culture is clearly aimed at a community college and four-year undergraduate audience and less obviously directed at people interested in American Indian issues.
Colin Calloway, professor of history and Native American studies at Dartmouth College and author most recently of New Worlds for All (1998), contributes a rich collection of native voices that tell a riveting and sorrowful story about relations between indigenous people and American settlers, government officials, reformers, and missionaries. Two elements contribute to the successful presentation of Indian insights and voices in Our Hearts Fell to the Ground. First, there are Calloway's wonderfully crafted thirty-page introduction and fifty-plus pages of contextual material. Considered together, these eighty pages suggest that army bullets, transcontinental railroads, and gold rushes were experienced by native people as suppressions of local autonomy, as thefts of ancestral homelands, and as deaths of friends and family members. Within the setting developed by Calloway-the American conquest of the Plains-readers can probably acknowledge the relevance of hearing and listening to native voices
