Stories Find You: Narratives Of Place In A Central Yup'ik Community
No full textDissertation (Ph.D.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2004Yup'ik narratives of place make powerful statements about the health or illness of the world. Such stories illustrate how the land itself is responsive to human thought and action. The land, in essence, is a being among beings, and a particularly powerful and sensitive one. The sentient world responds to joy as well as to sorrow. This is an essential aspect of place in southwestern Alaska. In Hooper Bay, stories confer both personal and political power, allowing people to instruct others about dangerous situations, and indirectly make statements about events that are otherwise unspoken for fear of "making bad things worse." Narrative discourse of place empowers people who have experienced a history of domination and control. Man-made places, like the land, are also barometers of change. Stories allow people to speak about unspeakable tragedies that reflect the tensions of their relationships with outsiders. Other stories define and exclude those outsiders, such as missionaries and teachers, who are particularly associated with the institutions that represent domination. I argue, then, that for Yupiit in Hooper Bay, stories are not simply symbolic expressions but are active in social life. As Elsie Mather says, "Storytelling is part of the action of living" (Morrow and Schneider 1995:33)
A Guide to Future Outcome Assessments of Family Support Service Programs at Phyllis Wheatley Community Center
No full textThis is the final report to Phyllis Wheatley Community Center (PWCC) on assessing outcomes in its Family Services Program (FSP). The project was conducted from June 18 to August 25 2007 as a 50% summer student research project, which was funded by the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA), University of Minnesota and the PWCC in Minneapolis. As proposed by Mr. Gustafson, the goal of this research project was to produce a cost-benefit analysis of the PWCC's Family Service Program. He stated to the author that 'we believe there is a need to determine what, if any, return on investment there is for programs that provide family stability services including anger management, domestic violence prevention, self-sufficiency planning, and effective parenting for high risk populations.'Conducted on behalf of Phyllis Wheatley Community Center.

When our words return: writing, hearing, and remembering oral traditions of Alaska and the Yukon
No full textEdited by Phyllis Morrow and William Schneider.Includes bibliographical references.The title to this interdisciplinary collection draws on the Yupik Eskimo belief that seals, fish, and other game are precious gifts that, when treated with respect and care, will return to be hunted again. Just so, if oral traditions are told faithfully and respectfully, they will return to benefit future generations. The contributors to this volume are concerned with the interpretation and representation of oral narrative and how it is shaped by its audience and the time, place, and cultural context of the narration. Thus, oral traditions are understood as a series of dialogues between tradition bearers and their listeners, including those who record, write, and interpret.--Provided by publisher.With a vision beyond our immediate needs: oral traditions in an age of literacy / Elsie Mather -- On shaky ground: folklore, collaboration, and problematic outcomes / Phyllis Morrow -- "Pete's Song": establishing meaning through story and song / Julie Cruikshank -- Seeing wisely, crying wolf: a cautionary tale on the Euro-Yup'ik border / Robin Barker -- "They talked of the land with respect": interethnic communication in the documentation of historical places and cemetery sites / Robert M.
