The Adapted Physical Education (APE) Teacher of the Year (TOY) award has been around since the 1990s; to date there are only 24 known APE TOYs. The TOY award was initially hosted by the American Association for Physical Activity and Recreation (AAPAR) a subgroup of American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (AAHPERD), but since 2013, the Society of Health and Physical Educators-America (SHAPE-America) sponsored the award. There is an annual process with the review cycle beginning in September of each calendar year for Teacher of the Year awards for the next calendar year. This paper provides a historical perspective of the APE TOY award and documents the most complete list of APE TOYs by year of award and state represented and will be followed with another article sharing and celebrating the biographical data highlighting each of the known APE TOYs. It also provides a glimpse into the APE TOY Culture. Keywords: Adapted physical education, teacher, APENS, What is an APE TOY?

In the 1990s, seed craftwork became an important practice among Sateré‐Mawé women in Manaus, Brazil, following initiatives for their political and territorial organisation in the city. This article ethnographically explores how the production of seed necklaces mobilises an extensive circuit of people, plants, skills and knowledges that challenges strict divides between Amazonian cities and villages. In the city, seed variety reflects the ability of indigenous women to maintain multiple and multilocal relationships. Following the paths of the seeds, this article discusses how Sateré‐Mawé groups produce fluid spatialities and manage relations with human and non‐human 'others' between urban and forest areas.
