Cultural resources inventory and evaluation of the Bear Creek Lake in Jefferson County, Colorado have focused primarily on the reconnaissance and assessment of the two historic structures which are architecturally representative of houses built in the late 19th century. No prehistoric archeological resources remain in the study area, possibly due to the extensive ground surface modification resulting from the construction of Bear Creek Dam and other mining and agricultural impacts. Prehistoric and historic reconstruction of the area are provided through literature searches and informant interviews. A prehistoric model is presented, resulting from background work in the region, which provides insights into the environmental factors associated with prehistoric habitation in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.

In a small Tlingit village in 1992, newly converted members of an all-native church started a bonfire of "non-Christian" items including, reportedly, native dancing regalia. The burnings recalled an earlier century in which church converts in the same village burned totem poles, and stirred long simmering tensions between native dance groups and fundamentalist Christian churches throughout the region. This book traces the years leading up to the most recent burnings and reveals the multiple strands of social tension defining Tlingit and Haida life in Southeast Alaska today. ø Author Kirk Dombrowksi roots these tensions in a history of misunderstanding and exploitation of native life, including, most recently, the consequences of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971. He traces the results of economic upheaval, changes in dependence on timber and commercial fishing, and differences over the meaning of contemporary native culture that lie beneath current struggles. His cogent, highly readable analysis shows how these local disputes reflect broader problems of negotiating culture and Native American identity today. Revealing in its ethnographic details, arresting in its interpretive insights, Against Culture raises important practical and theoretical implications for the understanding of indigenous cultural and political processes.
