**The image(s) of the document may be omitted here because of copyright considerations** Twenty pages comprise an article from the Jan.-March 1939 issue of American Anthropologist, 'Arapesh Warfare' by Reo Fortune. He describes several unusual aspects of warfare among the Arapesh people of Papua New Guinea: that it is generally conducted within cultural boundaries, rather than across them; that it is of a highly formalized nature; that it is of low lethality, and often conducted by means of sorcery as well as combat; and that it includes raids for the purpose of obtaining or retrieving women, 'dependent upon women's sexual consent in extramarital liaisons outside locality borders...' It includes traditional speeches in indigenous text, with simultaneous transliteration, about absconded women and the nature of wives. The article is accompanied by the issue cover.

The film focuses on the personal journey of Ayahai, an 80-year-old Ayoreo elder, whose life spans the period of dramatic transition for the Ayoreo of South America’s Gran Chaco as they moved from nomadic hunter/gatherers to wage laborers. Currently a part-time panhandler in Santa Cruz, his story is common to many lowland indigenous peoples. Focuses on the personal journey of Ayahai, an 80-year-old Ayoreo elder and part-time panhandler in Santa Cruz whose life spans the period of dramatic transition for the Ayoreo of South America’s Gran Chaco as they change from nomadic hunter/gatherers into wage laborers. Ayahai’s testimony of the critical contact moment between the Ayoreo and Westerners is juxtaposed with the memories of Dr. Charles Ramsey, another Octogenarian who was one of the first missionaries to reach Ayahai’s group in the 1950s. Since that first meeting, the Ayoreo have been discriminated against at all levels of Bolivian and Paraguayan society and face debilitating poverty. During a village screening of the unfinished film with the filmmaker the Ayoreo community gains an opportunity to discuss and respond to the opinions of the non-Ayoreo in Santa Cruz. The documentary challenges stereotypical images of lowland indigenous peoples like the Ayoreo with a portrait of their lived experience, while raising questions of interest to a wider anthropological audience concerned with the politics of memory, representation and native rights in Latin America. Although a growing body of ethnographic and pictorial representations exist in Spanish, French and German, very little has been published on the Ayoreo in English, and even less has been filmed. Supplemented by traditional songs, the film puts a human face on a transnational tribal peoples struggle for self-determination.

For thousands of years the Innu lived off the land. They were nomads, sometimes also known as the Montagnais. In the 1960s, government policy forced them to settle and form communities in Labrador and Quebec. Ancestral ways collided with modern ones, and gave rise to ongoing struggles. Now the grandchildren tell their own story. For thousands of years the Innu lived off the land. They were nomads, sometimes also known as the Montagnais. In the 1960s, government policy forced them to settle and form communities in Labrador and Quebec. Ancestral ways collided with modern ones, and gave rise to ongoing struggles. Now the grandchildren tell their own story. Being Innu takes an unvarnished look at life in the village of Sheshatshiu, Labrador. Six savvy, gutsy young people talk to Montreal filmmaker Catherine Mullins about addiction, suicide, lack of jobs, hopelessness. They will grab your heart with their stories: "I first thought about suicide when I was 7," says April, 16. They will make you laugh with their wry humour: "What do you do when you live in a shoe?" Jimmy, 25. Interviews with elders, grandparents and teachers round out this portrait of a community in crisis - sadly a situation not unlike that of many other aboriginal nations.What is remarkable about Innu youth is their love of the land and of their native language. For them, being Innu means finding a balance between the traditional ways of the past and today's reality.
