content:
Edited film produced by the Matto Grosso Expedition in Brazil. This semi-documentary film centers on the story of a young (Sao Lourenco) Bororo boy, who one day will be chief, preparing for and going on a hunt. He is shown speaking with an elder, making an arrow, feeding his pet otters, leaving for the hunt riding a tapir, and unsuccessfully hunting with bow and arrows. He comes across a dead iguana which he shoots in order to bring back to the village as game that he has killed. However, the village men know from the smell of the dead animal that a hoax has been played on them.

E. R. Fenimore Johnson, son of the founder of Victor Talking Machine (the world's leading sound recording company) and board member of the University of Pennsylvania Anthropological Museum, sponsored the expedition to Brazil with the express purpose of recording rapidly disappearing Amazonian cultures, including their languages. Through his Hollywood contacts, Johnson tapped technical talent and acquired the expensive and cumbersome sound recording equipment for the expedition.

Edited film: several men of the atoll Nonuti cut branches of the Guettarda speciosa plant in the bush and use more than 200 of these stakes to enclose an inlet of the lagoon. During the next ebbtide the men fasten coconut leaf mats to the stakes and weigh them down with stones in order to catch fish swimming into the inlet. When the water recedes men, boys, and children hunt the trapped fish, killing them with bush knives and clubs or catching them with their bare hands.

content: Edited film made in association with the University of California, Los Angeles, Ethnographic Film Program documents a male initiation ceremony among the Gisu of the Mt. Elgon region of eastern Uganda. The story of Gisu circumcision emerges through the narrative of two boys who announce their intention to undergo the ordeal of circumcision together. Film provides insight into circumcision as a central social institution which defines adult male identity and the unity of the Gisu as a people. Film includes: discussions among kinsmen of the candidates' fitness, dancing and drumming around the initiates' compounds, animal sacrifice and divination by reading entrails to assess the propitiousness of the event, brewing of millet beer for the ceremony, annointing of initiates with beer yeast, and initiates' seculsion and circumcision by a ritual specialist.

label: Biographical / Historical

content:
Francis Paine Conant (1926-2011) was a cultural anthropologist who pioneered the use of satellite data in anthropology. He conducted fieldwork in Nigeria and Kenya, and his research interests spanned cultural ecology, AIDS, malaria, and sex and gender studies. He was also Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at Hunter College, where he taught from 1962 to 1995.

After graduating from Cornell in 1950, Conant attended University of Iowa's graduate writing program for a short time. Dissatisfied with the program, he worked briefly for the Carnegie Endowment, during which time he occasionally served as a personal driver for Alger Hiss. In 1951, he returned to Finland to pursue a career in journalism.

In 1953 to 1954, Conant traveled throughout Africa as part of the Bernheim-Conant Expedition for the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). The expedition was led by Charles Bernheim, the father of his first wife, Miriam. They traveled 16,000 miles through Northern Central and Eastern Africa, collecting film footage and material culture for the museum. Conant served as the writer and photographer for the expedition.

He returned to Africa in 1957 as a doctoral student at Columbia University, where he earned his PhD in Anthropology in 1960. He carried out his fieldwork in Dass Independent District, Bauchi Province in Nigeria as a Fellow of the Ford Foundation. Working among the Barawa that live in the mountains of Dass, he focused on their religion and its impact on the technology, social and political organization, and structure of their society. His dissertation was titled, "Dodo of Dass: A Study of a Pagan Religion of Northern Nigeria".During his fieldwork, he also collected data on rock gongs, which were first identified and written about by Bernard Fagg in 1955.

In 1961 to 1962, Conant was a research associate for Walter Goldschmidt's Culture and Ecology in East Africa Project. The purpose of the project was to conduct a controlled comparison of four different East African societies and the farmers and pastoralists within each tribe. Conant was assigned to conduct ethnographic research among the Pokot in West Pokot District in Kenya. This research would form the basis of his remote sensing work in the same area more than a decade later.

Conant was first introduced to remote sensing data in 1974 when his colleague Priscilla Reining showed him Landsat imagery of one his former fieldwork sites. He was inspired by the potential applications of satellite data to study cultural and ecological relationships. In 1975, he and Reining organized a workshop on "Satellite Potentials for Anthropological Studies of Subsistence Activities and Population Change." He incorporated remote sensing tools in his 1977 to 1980 study of the changing cultivation patterns and management of livestock in West Pokot District. His research combined traditional fieldwork (which included data he had collected in the 1960s), LANDSAT data, and geospatial data collected from the ground.

content:
Video project by Mark Freeman documents the Otavalo Indians of the Andean highlands (province of Imbabura) of northern Ecuador and their economic success in adapting their traditional weaving and crafts for the international marketplace. The video project also records the tensions between traditional indigenous values and customs and modernization pressures that prosperity brings including tourism.  Also examined are the ethnic tensions between the Otavalos and their less affluent white and mestizo neighbors. The edited video, "Weaving the Future" was edited from this project.
