The course examines the conservation significance of indigenous

the adverse impacts of national parks and other protected areas;
"colonialist" conservation by transnational conservation
and development NGOs; local defense of territory, livelihoods,
and environment; the global indigenous peoples movement; and "new
paradigm" protected areas based on respect for
indigenous peoples' self-determination. I will aim for global
coverage, but I will stress the Americas and Asia. (Stevens)

Special January Term & Spring
2004 Offering:
CILA Institute Programs in Spirituality and Bio-Cultural Diversity
(CILA: Community for Integrative Learning and Action.)
In collaboration with the non-profit community based organization
Waman Wasi in the Peruvian High Amazon.
January and Spring Semester Course:
ANTH 397B. CILA Program in Andean-Amazonian Spirituality and
Biodiversity (4 credits) Tu 7:30 - 9:45 p.m. Frederique Apffel-Marglin,
Prof., Anthropology, Smith College, and Brooke Thomas, Prof.,
Anthropology, UMass. Contact: fmarglin@smith.edu
This program consists of two parts: 1) a three-week stay in the
Waman Wasi community based organization in Lamas, in the Peruvian
High Amazon during January interterm and 2) a follow up course
work at UMass anthropology department during the Spring semester.
The two parts of the course together will consist of a -credit
spring semester course. The students will be financially responsible
for the Peruvian part of the course. Scholarships may be available
to students on financial aid.
Estimated cost of the Peruvian part of the course: $ 2,100. This
includes room and board, tuition for Waman Wasi, international
and national travel, and ground transportation.
The Waman Wasi community-based organization works with the local
indigenous Quechua-Lamista communities to regenerate their forests,
their spirits, and their ancestral practices.
COMM 497A: Native American Communication and Culture. T/Th
9:30 - 10:45 Machmer E-(TBA) (Carbaugh).
The Legal Studies courses taught by Professor Peter d'Errico,
460: The Legalization of American Indians, and 470: Indigenous
Peoples, Global Issues, will not be offered this year due
to Professor d'Errico's retirement. These courses are in
the University's regular curriculum, and we hope Legal Studies
will have the ability to hire some one who can teach them.
Professor d'Errico, meanwhile, is one of those irreplacable
faculty.
The Certificate Program salutes him for his nearly thirty years
of service to the University of Massachusetts, and thanks him
especially for initiating the 460 course back in 1972, for his
advocacy of Native peoples' legal and sovereign rights, and for
his enormous contributions to Native American Indian Studies on
this campus and with the Five College Consortium. We wish him
well. Thanks, Peter!!! |
Certificate Program in Native American Indian Studies.
Courses: For Summer 2003 and 2003-04
Special Summer Learning Opportunity:
Seven Weeks Summer Internship in the Peruvian High Amazon
Dates: June 2nd to July 18, 2003
Director: Frederique Apffel-Marglin
Internship in the Non-Profit Community Based Organization Waman Wasi,
in Lamas, Department of San Martin, Peru.
The CILA summer internship in Peru incorporates the same integrative approach
as the course but is less of an intellectual experience and emphasizes
a more hands-on experience. There will not be regular classroom teaching.
There will be several guest lectures for the students who will mostly
be engaged in physical work, interaction with the native community and
contemplative practice.
The internship brings an integrative approach to projects of reforestation
in an area of severe deforestation of the rain forest. The interns will
work with the staff of Waman Wasi and with the native Quechua-Lamista
communities with which it works. The interns will work to reforest the
lands of the center and work in its fields. The interns will learn traditional
crafts and other skills in workshops led by Quechua-Lamista teachers,
participate in rituals and other integrative practices. They will spend
the last few weeks with individual Quechua-Lamista families, working with
them in their chacras and their forest reserves.
Cost of the Program: $ 1,500 for room, board and tuition. This
does not cover international and national travel.
Application Deadline: April 15, 2003
Requirements:
A strong interest in indigenous and environmental issues.
A basic ability in conversational Spanish.
Application Procedures:
To be sent either via email or regular mail to:
Prof. Frederique Apffel-Marglin, 27 Belmont Ave, Smith College, Northampton,
MA 01063. E-mail: fmarglin@smith.edu
1. A 1 to 2 page letter explaining your qualifications for this internship
and your level of Spanish. Include your year, campus, campus address,
email and phone as well as home address, phone and email. Include health
and dietary restrictions
2. A photocopy of the two first pages of your passport.
3. A letter of recommendation either from a faculty or someone who knows
you well, preferably not a relative.
