La Constitución de la Nación de la Tierra Blanca.
No full textThe Constitution of the White Earth Nation was ratified by sworn delegates on April 4, 2009. The
Constitution declares a separation from the current federal constitution that consolidated six Anishinaabe
or Chippewa reservations in Minnesota. This federal constitutional association has not served the specific
interests of the citizens of the White Earth Reservation. The disposition of treaty land, for instance, and
the uses of natural resources cannot equitably be decided by any other government or federation of
reservations. Forty citizen delegates were appointed to deliberate the appropriate formation of an
independent reservation government. In the past two years after three two-day Constitutional Conventions
on the White Earth Reservation, Gerald Vizenor was named the principal writer of the new constitution.
The Constitution of the White Earth Nation was ratified at the fourth Constitutional Convention. The
ratified Constitution will soon be presented to the citizens of the reservation as a referendum.La Constitución de la Nación de la Tierra Blanca fue ratificada el 4 de abril de 2009 por representantes jurados.

The Envoy to Haiku
Get PDFThe Toya Maru might have been the end of me. The train ferry lost power and turned over in a typhoon between the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido. More than a thousand people died at sea that night. I was lucky. Our battalion had been ordered, at the last minute, to remain on the northern island and bivouac in the pristine Imperial National Forest. The vessel carried soldiers of the United States First Cavalry Division transferring from Hokkaido to new posts on Honshu, reported The New York Times on 27 September 1954. The typhoon did widespread damage over the main islands of Japan. The Toya Maru carried my typewriter and copies of my first stories to the bottom of Tsugaru Strait. I was wise to haiku that summer and would tote no more than a notebook. Naturally, that coincidence, and the loss of my typewriter, were trivial at the time
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
