Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure elevations and accurately define the surface of the ground even in highly vegetated conditions. It has been used in Europe and in Central and South America to identify structures and features obscured by trees or agricultural crops. The drawdown of Lake Wateree by Duke Energy provided an excellent opportunity to employ LiDAR to locate potential earthworks, structures and other landform features obscured by the lake since the 1920s.

When people think of Henry Dawes, they think of the Dawes Act and see him as a misguided Indian reformer. By examining his family and their role in various reform movements from the Civil War through the end of the nineteenth century, it demonstrates how he and his family saw themselves as advocates for citizenship and not Indian reform, reshaping how we view the Dawes Act and its effects.

Indigenous peoples’ ethnographic objects have entered museums through a variety of collecting methods. As a result, many of these items have lost the ties that connect them to the names of their original makers and owners. This loss in documentation is reflected in museum collections across the world, and while outside researchers can employ the technique of close looking to learn more about specific objects, individuals from the material culture’s own community can sometimes answer questions and make connections that add significantly to the accession records and overall museum dialogue.
