Abstract Details

2009, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
This practicum was designed to contribute to the efforts of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma as they revitalize their culture and language. A handbook was developed and later introduced through a workshop to familiarize Miami tribal members with methods for planning, conducting and processing life history interviews. The information contained within the handbook and workshop empower this sovereign Nation to responsibly manage and share the bio-cultural knowledge of its members as it strives to reconnect its people with their historical and contemporary places of occupation. These interviews maintain and revitalize the traditional use of oral history as a means of sharing valuable information, knowledge and skills with family and community members. The recording and documentation of interviews helps tribal families and the community in organizing, managing and preserving important historical accounts about the connection of people and place for posterity.
