    Xibe Language Revitalization and Documentation Project
    (University of Oregon Office of International Affairs, 2011-03-20) Jang, Taeho; Lim, Kyungsuk; Payne, Thomas
    Xibe (also Romanized as Sibo, Xibo, and Sibe) is a Manchu-Tungus language spoken by approximately 40,000 individuals in Northwestern China (Xinjiang Uygur [Uighur] Autonomous Region), and is one of the 56 recognized ethnic minorities in China. Xibe of Xinjiang is the only currently viable member of the Southwestern branch of the Tungusic language family, and is closely related to the nearly extinct Manchu language. The Tungusic languages are completely unrelated to the modern majority language, Chinese. Xibe possesses a rich literature employing a slightly revised version of the Manchu script, as represented in the title bar of this poster. The current collaborative project involves morphological and syntactic analysis leading to a linguistic grammar, a dictionary, and a collection of indigenous Xibe stories in support of indigenous Xibe language description and documentation goals. The products of this research will contribute to the continued use and vitality of the Xibe language and culture.

    Tribal Climate Change Project: Issues and Opportunities for Native American tribes in planning for the physical affects of climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions
    (University of Oregon Office of International Affairs, 2011-04-20) Lynn, Kathy; Donoghue, Ellen
    The University of Oregon Environmental Studies Program and the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station are engaged in a collaborative study focused on understanding tribal climate change initiatives around the United States. The study will result in knowledge transfer through the dissemination of presentations, resources and publications to assist tribes throughout the United States in addressing climate change. Through this study, we also hope to build awareness among non-tribal communities, organizations, and agencies about issues, challenges, and opportunities that tribes face in the context of climate change.
