Kevlar, Crisco, and menstruation: "tradition" and Dene Games

Article Abstract:

The complexity inherent in anthropological investigations of 'tradition,' and the multiplicity of ways that traditions are looked at by residents of Samba K'e and Dene Games organizers in the Northwest Territories, is examined. By exploring different interpretations of traditional Dene Games, the role of women in such games, and the ideological positions that have contributed to these interpretations are elucidated.

Race relations and racial patterns in school sports participation

Article Abstract:

The participation of African Americans and Whites in six sports: basketball, football, cheerleading, baseball, swimming and soccer is analyzed. Whites and blacks are not given equal status in the social structure, so they individually participate in different sports rather than competing in the same sport.
