Five Scholarly Open Access Publishers
No full textThis review critically examines five international scholarly publishers that publish academic journals using the gold (author pays) Open Access model. The author-pays model is changing scholarly publishing because authors, rather than libraries or other subscribers, become the publishers' customers, an arrangement that creates a built in conflict of interest. The more articles a publisher accepts, the more revenue it earns. New gold Open Access publishers are appearing almost weekly, and many are engaged in unethical practices. The review covers four predatory publishers, Academy Publish, BioInfo, ScienceDomain International, and Scientific Research Publishing, and one legitimate publisher, AOSIS Open Journals

Rodeo Event, Cheyenne, Wyo., A
No full textA RODEO EVENT. In Cheyenne a Wild-West show is given each year. It is called Frontier Days. The most interesting part of the show is the rodeo. The riding of the backing bronchos is only one event at the rodeo. Prizes are given to the best riders. Other events are the roping and the branding of calves and steers. Rodeos are held only in a few places. The one at Cheyenne, which lasts almost a week, is the best known, and it usually attracts a large crowd. The rodeo reminds us of the "dude ranch." This is a ranch where paying guests, usually from the eastern cities, are taken. Its name comes from the cowboys' custom of calling men from the east or from the cities dudes. The guests are provided with guides and horses so that they may take long rides over the prairies or up into the mountains. Some hunting and fishing is done. Various entertainments in the way of games and shooting matches are provided. Many city people enjoy a week or two on a dude ranch as a part of their vacation. Today the owners of some ranches make more money from their paying guests than they do from their cattle
Cheyenne Odyssey: Representing Removal in an Educational Video Game
No full textThis articles reflects on the process of creating digital media in collaboration with Native communities, using the example of Cheyenne Odyssey, a game from Mission US, to argue that such media can illuminate the perspectives of Indigenous peoples for a wide audience while also creating digital repositories for both visual and narrative forms of knowledge. This game takes on the difficult challenge of portraying very sensitive moments of US history to middle school-age children. The game walks the player through the Battle of Little Big Horn, the forced removal of the Northern Cheyenne people, their harrowing journey home again, and even the massacre of Dull Knife’s band at Fort Robinson. The creators of the game brought Cheyenne perspectives to the process by consulting Northern Cheyenne elders, historians, and even school children, as well as archival materials, and scholars of Cheyenne history, including the author. This multifaceted collaboration resulted in a game that presented Cheyenne history in a way that reflected Cheyenne values while providing non-Cheyenne people with an accessible narrative that, nevertheless, disrupts the familiar history of westward expansion in the United States. At the same time, the game makes new a history familiar to every Cheyenne by presenting it in a fresh medium that captivates young people. The public nature of this online game empowers Cheyenne people to take pride in their own historical narratives.This article is published as Hill, C.G., Cheyenne Odyssey: Representing Removal in an Educational Video Game.

The Cheyenne at the Centre of the World: Revisiting 1960s and Thomas Berger’s Little Big Man
No full textThe 1960s are typified with “counter-culture revolution” when preconceived, cultural and artistic values were contested and uprooted to be replaced by more liberal and experimental paradigms pertaining to almost all aspects of life and society. Furthermore, the general mistrust towards preconceived and media generated images led to the rise of a new kind of Western labeled the New Western or Post-Western, which undertook to represent the western experience anew and provide more truthful depictions of how the west was won or lost. In fact, the whole era is best remembered for its aftermath rather than for what was accomplished during those tumultuous years. Likewise, Thomas Berger’s Little Big Man (1964), as a predecessor of the era, remains an exemplary novel worth revisiting. To begin with, it depicts for the first time the Plains Indians, The Cheyenne in particular, not simply as “noble savages” but as human beings with a well-structured and resourceful cosmology. As such, the novel sets the pace for other literary cross-cultural representations and establishes an anthropological approach of evaluating both cultures, that is, the Indian and the white. In addition, the novel highlights the power of “the circle”3 as compared to the power of “the square”, which makes the Indian culture more tolerant and compatible with present day social and cultural tensions at both individual and community level.Keywords: 1960s, Plains Indians, The Cheyenne, Thomas Berger, Little Big Man
