UNIVERSITY
OF WISCONSIN - EAU CLAIRE
ON-LINE
JOURNAL
SPRING
2000
I
wanted to give this journal a title like "crescent moon" or something
similar,
particularly because we discovered how important astronomical
events
were to American Indians and also because there is a beautiful
crescent
moon in the evening sky, of Northern Wisconsin, as I type this.
Please
accept this journal as a class journal. The students in this class
took
this course under the title of special topics. The paper topics that
are
covered here are topics that the students found interesting. They
were
not
assigned these topics, they thought about ideas that may have been
alluded
to or were peripherally related to ideas that were part of assigned
readings.
If you have constructive criticism, praise, gentle admonitions, or
questions
contact the authors of the articles, and as a matter of record cc
to
me. If you have something harsh to say or have less than constructive
criticism,
please address your complaints to me.
