This cultural expression on the land has been studied and recreated for the purpose of writing fire management policy for the United States. The native science of observation and indigenous knowledge of plant preparations used by these people are practiced around the Mariposa County region not only impacting the landscape, but contributing to their physical and mental health. Based on the geographic regional family use tracts defined by the first USGS geographers and ethnographers, cultivation occurred at every elevation and in many microclimates as native people gathered, prepared, and used thousands of California Native Plants as nutritional and medicinal components of their diets. As public interest grew in the area of medicinal plants for use in alternative and complementary medicine...

When the congressional treaty maps were compared to the remnant familyuse tracts of the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation as defined by Stephen Powers (1866), they confirmed the literature review, family oral history, and populaiton data reflecting existing occupation sites of 1850 inhabited inside the proposed Treaty areas. The value of retaining population loci has been beneficial in the preservation of traditional cultural properties found within them.

This report describes the lives and locations of the dominant governing culture of the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation (SSMN) during the transformational historic period after the Spanish occupation and into the military movements at the onset of the California gold rush. It includes a brief biography of each of the captains before the turn of the nineteenth century, a detailed description of how the origination of this history began, and efforts to simplify the family use routes and village occupancy based on the explanation of Whitney (1871) by describing the "tracts" of each band. The descriptions of each band will include an explanation of how the populations became consolidated due to environment and circumstances out of their control, and examples of past and current cooperative projects at locations of historic importance with persons of historic significant status. The 1978 chapter written by Richard Levy and referenced within the 2018 OFA Proposed Findings (PF) will be addressed to correct the map perception which is counter to the band's understanding of their own territory. There will be a listing of the 7.5 quadrangle maps that represent the full region of all of the bands, and the nomenclature of the Indigenous names for the regional occupation sites over the entire landscape. Based on the diaries of the Mariposa Indian War, the camps and military movements will be used to identify how the captains moved throughout the war. Additionally, seven land allotments claimed and assigned to particular families of the captains of the bands of the SSMN around the turn of the century will be described and shown to be part of the ancient civilization places and trail systems. Finally, a chapter will be dedicated to placing the captains into their regional settlements with a geographic landmark description for the tracts of each band. The regional geographic names of the Six Bands of the SSMN were traced to the captains of the contact period and the Treaty signers. Ceremonial settlements of Captains following the specific geographic areas hold key information for defining leadership and family relationships in these six bands: 1) Potoyunte, 2) Awalache, 3) Ahwahneechee (Yo-ke-mi-te), 4) Siyante, 5) Chauchilla, and 6) Nutchu.

During early suppression efforts of two wildland fires, indigenous firefighters reduced damage by sharing unrecorded cultural site polygons created from oral tradition aligned to dozer lines ahead of the fire’s predictive path. During the Detwiler Fire (2017), and the Ferguson Fire (2018), the Registered Professional Tribal Archaeologists from two tribes, and the Cultural Officers from the Seven Affiliated Tribes of Yosemite participated at Incident Command during suppression efforts by guiding fire lines which would avoid unrecorded roundhouse depressions, milling features, and burial locations. Confidentiality of the information was protected through the use of controlled distribution of data to only the field READ /REAF for the sites being protected on that day in advance of the dozer crews. Tribal Archaeologists compare resource maps (historic, prehistoric, flora and fauna) to see which resources overlap tribal sacred sites not yet discovered by non-indigenous. When the repair process begins, tribal monitors and archaeologists participate in the mitigation measures revealing less damage to sites than in previous fires.

Wherever humans are working there needs to be guidance for effective communication. The audience is a class of art therapy counseling students at George Washington University in D.C. with Juliet King ATR professional art therapist working with neurologists on treatment planning. This lecture focuses on the timelessness of material arts relating to comprehensive assessment using interdisciplinary collaborative approach comparing the IDEA 13 diagnostic categories in education, the DSM V diagnostic codes used by speech pathologists and psychologists, and the formative art therapy assessments supporting the diagnostic efforts. The ancient art of material culture and the process of community participation in making items of functional use hold some similarity to the way we as therapists weave the materials of art into healing communication arts. An Art Therapy Assessment is part of the information needed to design goals and therapy planning. It has been said that “therapists must try their best to ensure that clients have the mental, emotional, and physical capacities to function on a new level, or the change can be frustrating rather than rewarding” (Hinz, 2009, p. 229). The ICD10 codes which align with the DSM V diagnoses and CPT codes guide the treatment plan with definite projected points of progress whether we have approval for 4 weeks or 12 weeks. Our goals must be clear and easily measured.

Just having a Western education in psychology does not qualify a psychological counselor to fit into a tribal community. Many times, the Western medicine approach is not respected.
Before beginning a practice in any cultural group, there needs to be time for learning the belief structure and interpersonal expectations of that group. Before any assessment results or counseling will be accepted by an individual from the culture there needs to be a level of respect for the clinical perspective of the clinician.

18 Superintendents 47 years of Consultation: Wahhoga, Yosemite
Abstract
In 1969 the last home was razed in Wahhoga Village, Yosemite. Constant negotiation for their indigenous homes with 18 Superintendents over 47 years [27 Superintendents since moving to New Indian Village 1925], occurred before the term "consultation" was coined. Families fought for the right to return to their homes. After the 2008 EIR archaeology, and design funded by Yosemite Conservancy, the past before 1850 was investigated with the terminus of habitation of the original people to be seen now through the voices of the Elders whose consultation continues to work when things look their darkest.

Intake Interviews in an emergency situation have a primary focus on the injury but a secondary focus is on the patient safety and mental health. Trauma-informed Screening using "Oral Myofunctional Considerations of Reoccurring Injuries Among Domestic Violence & Slavery Victims" is a protocol to improve the identification in the ER and removes more barriers to the identification and offer of safety to victims experiencing the Polyvagal sequence of immobilization. This study looks at the most recent reviews of the instruments used in the ER and their effectiveness. Suggestions are made for removing barriers to reporting, and in the future the types of therapies will be expanded since this paper only reviews one form of therapeutic intervention.

These measured effects on alpha waves are present during Functional Connectivity (FC) within the cortical brain network appearing when reactivation occurs. Brain networks related to the activation of the brain during episodes of ICD 10 disorders have been mapped using electroencephalogram (EEG), and these pathways have been roughly defined as using FC of the cortical brain network activated during trauma (Shim, Im, and Lee, 2017). The FC of the cortical brain network pathway reveals itself during activation, with a proven ability to be identified and measured using EEG technology in two-dimensional art production and proposed in virtual reality art production (King, et al, 2017). Diagnostic features from DSM V and ICD 10 Medical disorders have been identified based upon the ability to record specific regions of the brain in individuals in order to obtain a baseline of expected alpha wave signals. Clinical psychologists and Speech Pathologists assess psychosomatic and organic DSM V and ICD 10 medical code disorders using assessment batteries to create treatment plans and require a method for measuring improvement in patients with nonverbal conditions. Assessments define the areas of the patient brain responses and the patterns of perception during the healing process.

A third document was completed which remains confidential which may have sufficed as the doctoral dissertation titled " Synthesis of Population Movement and Lineage Family Use Tracts Defined by Roundhouse Locations: Populating the Boundaries of the Yosemite California Treaties of the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation." From 2001-2002, the ability to write a thesis but have it housed in another archives was only used in the case of a patent. This research was performed with people interviewing their own people, with the records to be housed in a confidential Tribal Archives. There were internal university forces which were not agreeing to this, which made cause to hire Attorney La Pena from a Sacramento Tribe to mediate with the university to allow this student to graduate, and have approval of the final documentation be by the Tribe performing their own internal research. The letters at the end of the document show the time it took for the degrees to be conferred because of the desire for the Tribal information to remain within the Tribe. It took from January 2002 ( as seen in Elder’s signatures dated 1-14-2002) until Tuesday August 9, 2005 for the entire issue to be resolved. Hence, as it was taking so long to get the first Master’s Degree conferred, a second research thesis was also completed extending the topic from ancestry mapping to the ethnobotany of these ancestor’s villages to be mapped. The end result was a geographic information system database housed inside the Tribal Archives with a grant of software from Mr. Dangermond of ESRI to secure a confidential Tribal GIS which began with 2.0 and has upgraded each year to 10.2.

The end result was a geographic information system database housed inside the Tribal Archives with a grant of software from Mr. Dangermond of ESRI to secure a confidential Tribal GIS which has grown from ESRI 2.0 up to 10.1.
