3. Ethnogeography and the Native American past

Author

Carson, James Taylor

Subjects
Ethnohistory -- Research, Geography -- Social aspects, Indigenous peoples -- Social aspects, Indigenous peoples -- History, Land settlement -- Social aspects, Land settlement -- History, Anthropology/archeology/folklore, Ethnic, cultural, racial issues/studies
Abstract

For the most part, scholars have failed to incorporate geography into the interdisciplinary canon of ethnohistory. At the same time, geographers writing on native history have not integrated fully the ethnohistorical method into their own work. The essay explains to ethnohistorians and geographers alike what the other has been up to and why it is vital that each group begin to consider ethnogeography as an important category of analysis. A few suggestions are made as to how ethnogeography can illuminate different native societies' understanding of land and their relationship to it and to also help explain the actions they took to defend it from the encroachments of European settlers and colonial expansion.

22. Two uniform intrinsic constructions for the local time of a class of Lévy processes

Author

Martin T. Barlow, S. James Taylor, and Edwin Perkins

Subjects
Combinatorics, Stable process, Class (set theory), General Mathematics, Local time, Hausdorff space, Exponent, Function (mathematics), Lévy process, Mathematics
Abstract

We show that if $X$ is a Levy process with a regularly varying exponent function and a local time, $L_{t}^{x}$, that satisfies a mild continuity condition, then for an appropriate function $\phi$, $$\phi-m\{s \leq t|X_{s} = x\} =L_{t}^{x}\quad \forall t \geq 0, \,x \in \mathbf{R}\,\,\,\sy{a.s.}$$ Here $\phi-m(E)$ denotes the Hausdorff $\phi$-measure of the set $E$. In particular if $X$ is a stable process of index $\alpha >1$, this solves a problem of Taylor and Wendel. We also prove that under essentially the same conditions, a construction of $L_{t}^{0}$ due to Kingman, in fact holds uniformly over all levels.
