    history Culture. Historic Sacred Site Preservation. Information Section.There are thousands of Native american historic sites in Tennessee.  
    http://www.nativenashville.com/History/preservation.htm
    
    Extractions: Child's burial, the remains removed, lies in path of earth moving equipment Information Section There are thousands of Native American historic sites in Tennessee. Many of these are sacred places, containing the graves of our ancestors. Thousands of these places have been destroyed in the past, and those that still exist face a growing threat of destruction from looters digging for Indian artifacts and increasingly intense real estate development. Many people feel that this is the most pressing issue in Tennessee Indian affairs. Desecration of Indian burials is a brutal violation of the spiritual existence of the living as well as the dead. And each site lost represents a part of our culture that is gone forever - once they are bulldozed over, once the burial sites are desecrated, we can never recover that part of our heritage. Tennessee's Indian people have waged a constant battle against this loss for well over the last decade. The Alliance for Native American Indian Rights was formed in Nashville in 1989 to fight plans for a city owned landfill in an area covered with Native historical sites and burial grounds and has continued efforts to protect other sacred sites in the state (Native Nashville sponsors the group's web site). There are other groups across the state with similar missions. And unfortunately, this issue is not unique to Tennessee - Indian people all over North and South America have struggled against the destruction and desecration of their sacred places for the last 500 years. The struggle continues today, from Canada to Chile.

    Obituary published in the Society for american Archaeology newlsetter. While arctic research was his forte, Maxwell periodically returned to midwestern research at Fort Michilimackinac and other sites, pioneering anthropologically oriented historical archaeology.  
    http://www.saa.org/publications/saabulletin/16-2/SAA9.html
    
    Extractions: Moreau Sanford Maxwell (Max), emeritus professor and curator of Anthropology at Michigan State University, died January 30, 1998, after a short struggle with cancer. An intrepid field archaeologist and a consummate teacher, Max's legacy remains indelibly imprinted on all who knew him. From 1952 to 1957 Max worked for the U.S. Air Force Arctic, Desert, and Tropical Information Center, where his effort was primarily devoted to arctic projects. He engaged in Defense Early Warning (DEW) system siting as a member of the U.S. Air Force Eclipse Project, and as assistant project officer of the DEW Line Ice Survey Team. He traveled by dogsled with Inuit guides, assessing ice at landing strip locations for DEW Line construction, and observed archaeological evidence of pre-Dorset and Dorset occupation in the high arctic. In 1957 Maxwell joined the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the museum at Michigan State University. He became the first curator of anthropology, and first chair of the independent Department of Anthropology, applying his administrative skills to build a new department. Maxwell's arctic research began in 1958. As a member of a Defense Research Board group participating in Canada's International Geophysical Year, he surveyed the Lake Hazen vicinity on Ellesmere Island. Max then spent over 15 seasons in the arctic applying ecological and ethnoarchaeological approaches to the prehistory of Baffin Island, and received a Fulbright Foundation Fellowship to the National Museum of Denmark. He subsequently emerged as a dominant synthesizer of eastern arctic archaeology. While arctic research was his forte, Maxwell periodically returned to midwestern research at Fort Michilimackinac and other sites, pioneering anthropologically oriented historical archaeology.
