It provides a summary of two case studies, one with the Yindjibarndi people from northwestern Australia, and the other with the Din&#233; from southwestern United States of America. The main findings to date from these studies are that most basic terms for landscape features in each of these languages do not have a one-to-one equivalence with any landscape term in English. The findings point to key research issues in the way to which landscape is referred to in different languages. To facilitate this transdisciplinary research, an initial descriptive model is presented, which includes key observed differences in the way languages treat landscape and also a set of factors which might be considered as possible reasons for such differences. 10 01 JB code clu.4.04tur 47 72 26 Article 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Exploring philosophy of place</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Potential for synergy between phenomenology and ethnophysiography</Subtitle> 1 A01 Andrew G. Turk Turk, Andrew G. Andrew G. Turk 01 This chapter discusses aspects of place from the perspective of phenomenology. It draws upon the author&#8217;s collaborative research on ethnophysiography discussed in earlier chapters of this volume. Ethnophysiography research requires an integrated approach by researchers from many disciplines; i.e. it should be transdisciplinary and utilize an overarching paradigm. Phenomenology is a candidate to provide this overarching paradigm. This paper discusses this issue and also the potential for research in ethnophysiography to contribute to an enhanced understanding of phenomenology. These twin objectives must be carried out in a manner which respects Indigenous knowledges. Hence, the chapter also discusses Indigenous Australian concepts of &#8216;The Dreaming&#8217; and &#8216;Tjukurrpa&#8217; and their role as organizing structures for concepts of place. 10 01 JB code clu.4.05mur 73 100 28 Article 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Embedded in place</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">&#8216;Mirror knowledge&#8217; and &#8216;simultaneous landscapes&#8217; among M&#257;ori</Subtitle> 1 A01 Brian Murton Murton, Brian Brian Murton 01 This paper explores the understanding that M&#257;ori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand, have of &#8220;landscape&#8221;. I argue that although M&#257;ori in the past did &#8220;gaze&#8221; at their surroundings, and did have visual forms of representation, the concept of &#8220;landscape&#8221; as it is commonly used in Western scholarly and popular representation is inappropriate. What replaces the profound visuality of the West for M&#257;ori is language, especially sound and speech. M&#257;ori represent the world primarily through the act of naming, in which naming places becomes an integral way of actively engaging perceptually with the animate and inanimate world. M&#257;ori &#8220;imagine&#8221; named places as &#8220;simultaneous landscapes&#8221; reflecting cosmology, ancestors, history and everyday life. 10 01 JB code clu.4.06jan 101 119 19 Article 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Philosophical issues in ethnophysiography</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Landform terms, disciplinarity, and the question of method</Subtitle> 1 A01 Bruce B. Janz Janz, Bruce B. Bruce B. Janz 01 Ethnophysiography is a nascent discipline, one which draws on at least a half-dozen existing disciplines. These disciplines exist in productive tension, a tension which produces a range of possible answers to some central questions. These questions include: What is being analyzed? What issues arise when gathering data? How are questions framed to access data? What is the goal of ethnophysiography? How is human meaning connected to human expression, in the context of place language? What are the implications of applying the reconstructed data? And, if ethnophysiography is to be seen as a nascent discipline, how does it relate to other disciplines? This chapter expands on these questions that will help to develop and strengthen the concepts at the center of ethnophysiography, give it an identity, and suggest further research possibilities. 10 01 JB code clu.4.07duv 121 141 21 Article 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">‘Land’ and life</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Ethnoecology and ethnogeography as complementary approaches to the analyses of landscape perception</Subtitle> 1 A01 Chris Duvall Duvall, Chris Chris Duvall 01 Understanding how people classify physical geographic features is necessary for identifying cross-cultural geographic concepts necessary for successful communication of landscape knowledge. Identifying cross-cultural geographic concepts will require development of the field of ethnogeography, which employs ethnographic methods to analyze geographic knowledge. This chapter analyzes physical geographic knowledge in the Maninka language of southwestern Mali, and compares Maninka knowledge to that of other culturalgroups. The results suggest that broad physical geographic concepts may be shared pan-environmentally, but that most physical geographic knowledge is contained in culturally specific classifications within a broad cross-cultural framework. Academic geographers should expect only broad correspondence between their categories of physical geographic variation and those of people who classify biophysical features according to local knowledge systems. 10 01 JB code clu.4.08hol 143 166 24 Article 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Landscape in Western Pantar, a Papuan outlier of southern Indonesia</TitleText> 1 A01 Gary Holton Holton, Gary Gary Holton 01 This chapter describes the landscape, streamscape, and seascape terminology of Western Pantar, a non-Austronesian (&#8220;Papuan&#8221;) language spoken in the Alor archipelago of eastern Indonesia. In Western Pantar reference to elevations is achieved through named places of habitation rather than through generic landform terms; water bodies are denoted according to their quality rather than their form; and seascape terms reflect a focus on intertidal foraging and minimal use of open sea resources. 10 01 JB code clu.4.09lou 167 186 20 Article 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Hawaiian storied place names</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Re-placing cultural meaning</Subtitle> 1 A01 Renee Pualani Louis Louis, Renee Pualani Renee Pualani Louis 01 &#8220;We live in a time of un-naming, in a time when old names for the land, names given in honor, happiness, and sorrow have been set aside for marketing jingles that commemorate little more than a desire for sales, for ka mea poepoe, the round thing, money&#8221; (DeSilva 1993). Hawaiian place names are storied symbols reflecting Hawaiian spatial and environmental knowledge. Performed in daily rituals they were a conscious act of reimplacing genealogical connections, recreating cultural landscapes, and regenerating cultural mores. This chapter highlights the sensuous nature of Hawaiian place names, examines the processes by which they are incorporated into the cultural landscape, investigates cultural conflicts and problems involved with naming places in the post-contact/modern-colonial era including the standardization of place names, and advances transmodern solutions that re-place the old names DeSilva refers to without fueling existing cultural conflicts. 10 01 JB code clu.4.10hey 187 223 37 Article 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Between the trees and the tides</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Inuit ways of discriminating space in a coastal and boreal landscape</Subtitle> 1 A01 Scott A. Heyes Heyes, Scott A. Scott A. Heyes 01 This chapter provides an account of how three generations of Inuit conceptualize the environment in a spatial sense, and explores the extent to which this is bound up with Inuit belief systems. The discussions on Inuit notions of space are based on fieldwork and interviews that have been carried out with the Inuit of Kangiqsualujjuaq, a coastal community in Nunavik, Northern Quebec. With the support of illustrations and a spatial lexicon, I present how these Inuit conveyed to me the ways in which they discern, describe and discriminate features within and upon the land and coastal environment. 10 01 JB code clu.4.11hol 225 237 13 Article 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Differing conceptualizations of the same landscape</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">The Athabaskan and Eskimo language boundary in Alaska</Subtitle> 1 A01 Gary Holton Holton, Gary Gary Holton 01 This paper further explores the non-universality of landscape terms by focusing on one particular landscape, the Yukon Intermontane Plateau of western Alaska. This region serves as the boundary between two great language families of North America, Athabaskan and Eskimo, and thus offers a unique laboratory in which to examine the extent to which cultural factors in two genetically unrelated languages influence the categorization of a single, fixed landscape. Drawing on published lexical sources, unpublished place name documentation, and first-hand interviews with Native speakers, the results presented here demonstrate that, while Athabaskan and Eskimo speakers may occupy the same landscape, their respective languages conceptualize that landscape in different ways. 10 01 JB code clu.4.12kar 239 260 22 Article 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">A case study in Ahtna Athabascan geographic knowledge</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>A </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">case study in Ahtna Athabascan geographic knowledge</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 James Kari Kari, James James Kari 01 Ahtna is an Athabascan language of south-central Alaska centered mainly on the Copper River. Drainage-based files of over 2,200 Ahtna place names have been maintained for over thirty years, making Ahtna one of the best researched geographies for an Alaska Native language (Kari 2008, 2010). There are transparent principles that govern the content, structure, and distribution of Ahtna place names. The Ahtna geographic system is framed in a riverine absolute landmark orientation system (Levinson 2003) with nine directional roots that occur in over sixty derived forms. There is a distinct generative geographic capacity to this system, whereby a specific &#8220;sign&#8221; combines with an array of generic terms and directionals to facilitate memorization of the geography. The ways in which place names intersect with the directionals are complex and invite further study. Furthermore, the Ahtna system is representative of the Northern Athabascan languages. 10 01 JB code clu.4.13pas 261 274 14 Article 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Revitalizing place names through stories and songs</TitleText> 1 A01 Susan Paskvan Paskvan, Susan Susan Paskvan 01 Native place names research conducted near Kaltag, Alaska, reveal that the Koyukon Athabascan have an intimate relationship with the land. The land, its resources and its inhabitants are examined through the etymology of the place names. Most Koyukon Athabascan place names are descriptive, are binomial, and can be classified into three semantic categories. Oral histories about place names reveal beliefs, stories, and songs of the people. Challenges and opportunities in passing on this knowledge to the younger generation are explored. Several Athabascan language revitalization efforts are underway that combine indigenous teaching strategies and modern technology. 10 01 JB code clu.4.14tho 275 289 15 Article 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Language and landscape among the Tlingit</TitleText> 1 A01 Thomas F. Thornton Thornton, Thomas F. Thomas F. Thornton 01 Processes of perception, accommodation, and cultivation of places are critical to understanding the nature of language and landscape among coastal and river peoples. I present a processual model of landscape conceptualization in order to analyze how specific landscape classification schemes operate among the Tlingit of Southeast Alaska. Inhabiting some of the most dynamic and productive coastal and riparian ecosystems anywhere in the world, the Tlingit provide an especially rich case for examining these connections between land, river, and sea. Although the language is considered endangered, Tlingit toponyms and geographical nomenclature are well documented and many groups continue to occupy and use their traditional territory in ways that support traditional conceptualizations of the lands and waters of their living space. 10 01 JB code clu.4.15joh 291 326 36 Article 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Language, landscape and ethnoecology, reflections from northwestern Canada</TitleText> 1 A01 Leslie Main Johnson Johnson, Leslie Main Leslie Main Johnson 01 I draw on Witsuwit&#8217;en, Kaska and Gitksan landscape research to investigate similarities and differences in landscape terminologies, and ethnoecological implications of landscape kinds in northwestern British Columbia and the southern Yukon. Kaska and Witsuwit&#8217;en are Athapaskan languages while Gitksan is a Tsimshianic language. Gitksan and Witsuwit&#8217;en share similar landscapes and some aspects of social structure, though they are linguistically distinct, and Witsuwit&#8217;en and Kaska share some aspects of traditional economy and language, though there are differences in landscape and social structure.

Jett Jett, Stephen C. Stephen C. Jett 01 Humans interact with landscape by classifying and labeling a select multitude of the landscape&#8217;s limitless individual areas and features. Studying place names reveals much about language, perception, values, beliefs, environment, economy, and history. Like place-naming among other Athabaskan speakers, Navajo toponymic practice overwhelmingly produces descriptive names for landscape features, reserving commemorative and activity place-naming largely for human-modified places. Athabaskan languages employ an unusual number of topological and directional affixes and verb forms, which can condense and convey much information within brief descriptive place names. Lexeme frequencies hint at what Navajos see or saw as significant in their natural landscape. Place-naming facilitated possessing/controlling landscapes. The Navajo attached the itineraries and activities of mythological protagonists to the land via a web of place names; the associated stories and their descriptive names served as mnemonic guides for far-traveling Navajos. 10 01 JB code clu.4.17top 343 351 9 Article 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Navajo landscape and its contexts</TitleText> 1 A01 Camelita Topaha Topaha, Camelita Camelita Topaha 01 This essay, which began as an audio-recorded interview, reviews some of the ways in which particular features of the landscape are embedded in Navajo tradition and culture.

Lynch Lynch, Elizabeth M. Elizabeth M. Lynch 01 Interpretation of how prehistoric hunter-gatherers may have charted the landscape they inhabited is often based on the physical materials left behind. The potential exists to interpret Jicarilla narratives as providing mental templates for movement through and perception of their environments. Personal narratives may have facilitated remembering significant paths and passing this knowledge on to others. These narratives are rich resources that inform our understanding of how the Jicarilla, and perhaps prehistoric plains people before them, may have perceived and travelled through the complex eco-corridors that buffered the Pueblos, extending onto the plains of northern New Mexico and southeastern Colorado. This chapter examines whether specific Jicarilla Apache narratives encoded navigation patterns within oral tradition. Personal hunting narratives are examined as pathfinding mechanisms. Creation stories and ceremonial landmarks mentioned in the text are treated as points of significance on the landscape. Cognitive maps were developed that reveal a series of patterned movements, which may prove insightful in interpreting prehistoric movement and spatial construction. 10 01 JB code clu.4.19kuh 369 379 11 Article 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Ontology of landscape in language</TitleText> 1 A01 Werner Kuhn Kuhn, Werner Werner Kuhn 01 I make the case for ontology of landscape in language, addressing a series of concerns that are hindering a broader take-up of ontology as a tool for intra- and cross-linguistic research. The bottom line of my argument is that ontologies, as formal specifications of vocabularies, address a core need of language studies and that the complications arising from different philosophical views on ontology are largely irrelevant for the practical task of studying landscape in language. I propose a view of ontologies as systems of constraints on interpretations of vocabularies, allowing language researchers to describe conceptualizations partially, but down to an arbitrarily fine level of detail. Foundational ontologies help to structure such specifications and to link them across languages and domains. 10 01 JB code clu.4.20sie 381 393 13 Article 21 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The role of geospatial technologies for integrating landscape in language</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">role of geospatial technologies for integrating landscape in language</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle textformat="02">Geographic Information Systems and the Cree of northern Quebec</Subtitle> 1 A01 Renée Sieber Sieber, Renée Renée Sieber McGill University in Montreal 2 A01 Christopher Wellen Wellen, Christopher Christopher Wellen University of Toronto 01 Advances in the semantic web allow indigenous peoples to seek a greater voice on the Internet that reflects how they structure their knowledge of landscape. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) &#8211; computerized mapping and spatial databases &#8211; is used to develop a culturally protected area for the Cree in northern Quebec, Canada. We first characterize GIS and then describe several GIS applications, many of which related to epistemologies and ontologies of the land. We focus on one specific application: geospatial ontologies for hydrography. We found that GIS could store and organize landscape related language and this storing and organizing allowed for mapping and modeling information. GIS was useful for ontology representation, but its utility depended on the stage of ontology development. 10 01 JB code clu.4.21bra 395 409 15 Article 22 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Classifying landscape character</TitleText> 1 A01 Lars Brabyn Brabyn, Lars Lars Brabyn 2 A01 David M.

The first section examines the complexities of classifying landscapes; landscape has a range of meanings and can be conceptualized at a range of scales. The second section discusses the important role that landscape classification plays in communication and in determining how geographic space itself is conceptualized. The third section demonstrates how a landscape classification can be constructed with a GIS and uses the New Zealand Landscape Classification as an example.

Hence, the chapter also discusses Indigenous Australian concepts of &#8216;The Dreaming&#8217; and &#8216;Tjukurrpa&#8217; and their role as organizing structures for concepts of place. 10 01 JB code clu.4.05mur 73 100 28 Article 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Embedded in place</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">&#8216;Mirror knowledge&#8217; and &#8216;simultaneous landscapes&#8217; among M&#257;ori</Subtitle> 1 A01 Brian Murton Murton, Brian Brian Murton 01 This paper explores the understanding that M&#257;ori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand, have of &#8220;landscape&#8221;. I argue that although M&#257;ori in the past did &#8220;gaze&#8221; at their surroundings, and did have visual forms of representation, the concept of &#8220;landscape&#8221; as it is commonly used in Western scholarly and popular representation is inappropriate. What replaces the profound visuality of the West for M&#257;ori is language, especially sound and speech. M&#257;ori represent the world primarily through the act of naming, in which naming places becomes an integral way of actively engaging perceptually with the animate and inanimate world. M&#257;ori &#8220;imagine&#8221; named places as &#8220;simultaneous landscapes&#8221; reflecting cosmology, ancestors, history and everyday life. 10 01 JB code clu.4.06jan 101 119 19 Article 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Philosophical issues in ethnophysiography</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Landform terms, disciplinarity, and the question of method</Subtitle> 1 A01 Bruce B. Janz Janz, Bruce B. Bruce B. Janz 01 Ethnophysiography is a nascent discipline, one which draws on at least a half-dozen existing disciplines. These disciplines exist in productive tension, a tension which produces a range of possible answers to some central questions. These questions include: What is being analyzed? What issues arise when gathering data? How are questions framed to access data? What is the goal of ethnophysiography? How is human meaning connected to human expression, in the context of place language? What are the implications of applying the reconstructed data? And, if ethnophysiography is to be seen as a nascent discipline, how does it relate to other disciplines? This chapter expands on these questions that will help to develop and strengthen the concepts at the center of ethnophysiography, give it an identity, and suggest further research possibilities. 10 01 JB code clu.4.07duv 121 141 21 Article 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">‘Land’ and life</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Ethnoecology and ethnogeography as complementary approaches to the analyses of landscape perception</Subtitle> 1 A01 Chris Duvall Duvall, Chris Chris Duvall 01 Understanding how people classify physical geographic features is necessary for identifying cross-cultural geographic concepts necessary for successful communication of landscape knowledge. Identifying cross-cultural geographic concepts will require development of the field of ethnogeography, which employs ethnographic methods to analyze geographic knowledge. This chapter analyzes physical geographic knowledge in the Maninka language of southwestern Mali, and compares Maninka knowledge to that of other culturalgroups. The results suggest that broad physical geographic concepts may be shared pan-environmentally, but that most physical geographic knowledge is contained in culturally specific classifications within a broad cross-cultural framework. Academic geographers should expect only broad correspondence between their categories of physical geographic variation and those of people who classify biophysical features according to local knowledge systems. 10 01 JB code clu.4.08hol 143 166 24 Article 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Landscape in Western Pantar, a Papuan outlier of southern Indonesia</TitleText> 1 A01 Gary Holton Holton, Gary Gary Holton 01 This chapter describes the landscape, streamscape, and seascape terminology of Western Pantar, a non-Austronesian (&#8220;Papuan&#8221;) language spoken in the Alor archipelago of eastern Indonesia. In Western Pantar reference to elevations is achieved through named places of habitation rather than through generic landform terms; water bodies are denoted according to their quality rather than their form; and seascape terms reflect a focus on intertidal foraging and minimal use of open sea resources. 10 01 JB code clu.4.09lou 167 186 20 Article 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Hawaiian storied place names</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Re-placing cultural meaning</Subtitle> 1 A01 Renee Pualani Louis Louis, Renee Pualani Renee Pualani Louis 01 &#8220;We live in a time of un-naming, in a time when old names for the land, names given in honor, happiness, and sorrow have been set aside for marketing jingles that commemorate little more than a desire for sales, for ka mea poepoe, the round thing, money&#8221; (DeSilva 1993). Hawaiian place names are storied symbols reflecting Hawaiian spatial and environmental knowledge. Performed in daily rituals they were a conscious act of reimplacing genealogical connections, recreating cultural landscapes, and regenerating cultural mores. This chapter highlights the sensuous nature of Hawaiian place names, examines the processes by which they are incorporated into the cultural landscape, investigates cultural conflicts and problems involved with naming places in the post-contact/modern-colonial era including the standardization of place names, and advances transmodern solutions that re-place the old names DeSilva refers to without fueling existing cultural conflicts. 10 01 JB code clu.4.10hey 187 223 37 Article 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Between the trees and the tides</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Inuit ways of discriminating space in a coastal and boreal landscape</Subtitle> 1 A01 Scott A. Heyes Heyes, Scott A. Scott A. Heyes 01 This chapter provides an account of how three generations of Inuit conceptualize the environment in a spatial sense, and explores the extent to which this is bound up with Inuit belief systems. The discussions on Inuit notions of space are based on fieldwork and interviews that have been carried out with the Inuit of Kangiqsualujjuaq, a coastal community in Nunavik, Northern Quebec. With the support of illustrations and a spatial lexicon, I present how these Inuit conveyed to me the ways in which they discern, describe and discriminate features within and upon the land and coastal environment. 10 01 JB code clu.4.11hol 225 237 13 Article 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Differing conceptualizations of the same landscape</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">The Athabaskan and Eskimo language boundary in Alaska</Subtitle> 1 A01 Gary Holton Holton, Gary Gary Holton 01 This paper further explores the non-universality of landscape terms by focusing on one particular landscape, the Yukon Intermontane Plateau of western Alaska. This region serves as the boundary between two great language families of North America, Athabaskan and Eskimo, and thus offers a unique laboratory in which to examine the extent to which cultural factors in two genetically unrelated languages influence the categorization of a single, fixed landscape. Drawing on published lexical sources, unpublished place name documentation, and first-hand interviews with Native speakers, the results presented here demonstrate that, while Athabaskan and Eskimo speakers may occupy the same landscape, their respective languages conceptualize that landscape in different ways. 10 01 JB code clu.4.12kar 239 260 22 Article 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">A case study in Ahtna Athabascan geographic knowledge</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>A </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">case study in Ahtna Athabascan geographic knowledge</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 James Kari Kari, James James Kari 01 Ahtna is an Athabascan language of south-central Alaska centered mainly on the Copper River. Drainage-based files of over 2,200 Ahtna place names have been maintained for over thirty years, making Ahtna one of the best researched geographies for an Alaska Native language (Kari 2008, 2010). There are transparent principles that govern the content, structure, and distribution of Ahtna place names. The Ahtna geographic system is framed in a riverine absolute landmark orientation system (Levinson 2003) with nine directional roots that occur in over sixty derived forms. There is a distinct generative geographic capacity to this system, whereby a specific &#8220;sign&#8221; combines with an array of generic terms and directionals to facilitate memorization of the geography. The ways in which place names intersect with the directionals are complex and invite further study. Furthermore, the Ahtna system is representative of the Northern Athabascan languages. 10 01 JB code clu.4.13pas 261 274 14 Article 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Revitalizing place names through stories and songs</TitleText> 1 A01 Susan Paskvan Paskvan, Susan Susan Paskvan 01 Native place names research conducted near Kaltag, Alaska, reveal that the Koyukon Athabascan have an intimate relationship with the land. The land, its resources and its inhabitants are examined through the etymology of the place names. Most Koyukon Athabascan place names are descriptive, are binomial, and can be classified into three semantic categories. Oral histories about place names reveal beliefs, stories, and songs of the people. Challenges and opportunities in passing on this knowledge to the younger generation are explored. Several Athabascan language revitalization efforts are underway that combine indigenous teaching strategies and modern technology. 10 01 JB code clu.4.14tho 275 289 15 Article 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Language and landscape among the Tlingit</TitleText> 1 A01 Thomas F. Thornton Thornton, Thomas F. Thomas F. Thornton 01 Processes of perception, accommodation, and cultivation of places are critical to understanding the nature of language and landscape among coastal and river peoples. I present a processual model of landscape conceptualization in order to analyze how specific landscape classification schemes operate among the Tlingit of Southeast Alaska. Inhabiting some of the most dynamic and productive coastal and riparian ecosystems anywhere in the world, the Tlingit provide an especially rich case for examining these connections between land, river, and sea. Although the language is considered endangered, Tlingit toponyms and geographical nomenclature are well documented and many groups continue to occupy and use their traditional territory in ways that support traditional conceptualizations of the lands and waters of their living space. 10 01 JB code clu.4.15joh 291 326 36 Article 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Language, landscape and ethnoecology, reflections from northwestern Canada</TitleText> 1 A01 Leslie Main Johnson Johnson, Leslie Main Leslie Main Johnson 01 I draw on Witsuwit&#8217;en, Kaska and Gitksan landscape research to investigate similarities and differences in landscape terminologies, and ethnoecological implications of landscape kinds in northwestern British Columbia and the southern Yukon. Kaska and Witsuwit&#8217;en are Athapaskan languages while Gitksan is a Tsimshianic language. Gitksan and Witsuwit&#8217;en share similar landscapes and some aspects of social structure, though they are linguistically distinct, and Witsuwit&#8217;en and Kaska share some aspects of traditional economy and language, though there are differences in landscape and social structure.

Jett Jett, Stephen C. Stephen C. Jett 01 Humans interact with landscape by classifying and labeling a select multitude of the landscape&#8217;s limitless individual areas and features. Studying place names reveals much about language, perception, values, beliefs, environment, economy, and history. Like place-naming among other Athabaskan speakers, Navajo toponymic practice overwhelmingly produces descriptive names for landscape features, reserving commemorative and activity place-naming largely for human-modified places. Athabaskan languages employ an unusual number of topological and directional affixes and verb forms, which can condense and convey much information within brief descriptive place names. Lexeme frequencies hint at what Navajos see or saw as significant in their natural landscape. Place-naming facilitated possessing/controlling landscapes. The Navajo attached the itineraries and activities of mythological protagonists to the land via a web of place names; the associated stories and their descriptive names served as mnemonic guides for far-traveling Navajos. 10 01 JB code clu.4.17top 343 351 9 Article 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Navajo landscape and its contexts</TitleText> 1 A01 Camelita Topaha Topaha, Camelita Camelita Topaha 01 This essay, which began as an audio-recorded interview, reviews some of the ways in which particular features of the landscape are embedded in Navajo tradition and culture.

Lynch Lynch, Elizabeth M. Elizabeth M. Lynch 01 Interpretation of how prehistoric hunter-gatherers may have charted the landscape they inhabited is often based on the physical materials left behind. The potential exists to interpret Jicarilla narratives as providing mental templates for movement through and perception of their environments. Personal narratives may have facilitated remembering significant paths and passing this knowledge on to others. These narratives are rich resources that inform our understanding of how the Jicarilla, and perhaps prehistoric plains people before them, may have perceived and travelled through the complex eco-corridors that buffered the Pueblos, extending onto the plains of northern New Mexico and southeastern Colorado. This chapter examines whether specific Jicarilla Apache narratives encoded navigation patterns within oral tradition. Personal hunting narratives are examined as pathfinding mechanisms. Creation stories and ceremonial landmarks mentioned in the text are treated as points of significance on the landscape. Cognitive maps were developed that reveal a series of patterned movements, which may prove insightful in interpreting prehistoric movement and spatial construction. 10 01 JB code clu.4.19kuh 369 379 11 Article 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Ontology of landscape in language</TitleText> 1 A01 Werner Kuhn Kuhn, Werner Werner Kuhn 01 I make the case for ontology of landscape in language, addressing a series of concerns that are hindering a broader take-up of ontology as a tool for intra- and cross-linguistic research. The bottom line of my argument is that ontologies, as formal specifications of vocabularies, address a core need of language studies and that the complications arising from different philosophical views on ontology are largely irrelevant for the practical task of studying landscape in language. I propose a view of ontologies as systems of constraints on interpretations of vocabularies, allowing language researchers to describe conceptualizations partially, but down to an arbitrarily fine level of detail. Foundational ontologies help to structure such specifications and to link them across languages and domains. 10 01 JB code clu.4.20sie 381 393 13 Article 21 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The role of geospatial technologies for integrating landscape in language</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">role of geospatial technologies for integrating landscape in language</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle textformat="02">Geographic Information Systems and the Cree of northern Quebec</Subtitle> 1 A01 Renée Sieber Sieber, Renée Renée Sieber McGill University in Montreal 2 A01 Christopher Wellen Wellen, Christopher Christopher Wellen University of Toronto 01 Advances in the semantic web allow indigenous peoples to seek a greater voice on the Internet that reflects how they structure their knowledge of landscape. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) &#8211; computerized mapping and spatial databases &#8211; is used to develop a culturally protected area for the Cree in northern Quebec, Canada. We first characterize GIS and then describe several GIS applications, many of which related to epistemologies and ontologies of the land. We focus on one specific application: geospatial ontologies for hydrography. We found that GIS could store and organize landscape related language and this storing and organizing allowed for mapping and modeling information. GIS was useful for ontology representation, but its utility depended on the stage of ontology development. 10 01 JB code clu.4.21bra 395 409 15 Article 22 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Classifying landscape character</TitleText> 1 A01 Lars Brabyn Brabyn, Lars Lars Brabyn 2 A01 David M. Mark Mark, David M. David M. Mark State University of New York 01 This chapter discusses landscape character classification and provides an example of how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used to produce landscape classifications. The first section examines the complexities of classifying landscapes; landscape has a range of meanings and can be conceptualized at a range of scales. The second section discusses the important role that landscape classification plays in communication and in determining how geographic space itself is conceptualized. The third section demonstrates how a landscape classification can be constructed with a GIS and uses the New Zealand Landscape Classification as an example. The last section reflects on how this classification can be improved through collaboration between landscape scientists and linguistic and cultural researchers. 10 01 JB code clu.4.22tur 411 434 24 Article 23 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Perspectives on the ethical conduct of landscape in language research</TitleText> 1 A01 Andrew G.
