"Mount Rainier and Indian Economies of Place, 1850–1925"
Abstract: This
article revisits three familiar narratives of Mount Rainier history
from 1850–1925 to illustrate how Native people negotiated
with non-Indians to define the economy of place. Indian knowledge
of the mountain served as a commodity of value, and its employ can
be seen as productive intellectual labor in evolving colonial contexts.

"Pragmatic Revolutionaries?: Tactics, Ideologies, and the Western
Federation of Miners in the Progressive Era"
Abstract: The
Western Federation of Miners (WFM), the principal organization involved
in creating the Industrial Workers of the World in 1905, disassociated
itself from that organization in 1907. This paper analyzes votes
of the 1907 WFM convention showing that the federation abandoned
the IWW more for tactical than ideological reasons.

"The Safari
of the Southwest: Hunting, Science, and the African Oryx on White
Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, 1969--2006"
Abstract: In October
1969 the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish released seven African
oryx at White Sands Missile Range to encourage leisure hunting in
the region. By the mid-1990s, oryx populations had exploded. This
essay argues that rather than perceived as a military wasteland
the missile range was recast as a consumer’s landscape creating
environmental changes that transcended missile testing.

Field Notes "The

City "
Abstract: This

project conducted in 2006 in Seaside, California, a former military
town and minority-majority city attached to Fort Ord. The project
