Hi M,
My Norwegian friends (Stein and M, where he's a professor of Anthropology at Arctic University of Norway in Tromso and studies the Saami in the far north) and his son K, M&S's first and new granddaughter, S, and her mother M, are coming over tomorrow on Easter (happy Easter!) which is great, but I'll clean my house-let in Canyon today, a little earlier than anticipated.
I met M & K, S, and M & Stein yesterday at a small "Berkeley Smoke" dive for ribs in Berkeley yesterday, after heading to Stein and M's place (for the year), where the woman's husband who ran "Berkeley Smoke" had made a key film about Ishi, of Yahi people/Yana language of California - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishi - who was an Indian, whom Berkeley Anthropologist Professors T. T. Waterman and Alfred Kroeber (the UC building is named after him) and Dr. Saxton Pope found emaciated in northern California around 1900, and the last of his people, and brought back to the SF Bay Area to live, and Kroeber learned a lot from Ishi.

Hi Stein,
Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow here in Canyon around 3 or 4.
From our "Berkeley Smoke" encounter with history (ethnographic:), I'm trying to reconstruct the names and relationships of the Kroebers who all connected with 35 years difference in age - for a little Berkeley anthropological genealogy. Alfred married Phoebe Hearst and when Pheobe died, he married Theodora Kroeber, 35 years younger than he. They had 3 kids (including Ursula K. Le Guin) I think, and Theodora wrote "Ishi in Two Worlds" (http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520271470) while married to Kroeber I think too. Then when Alfred died, Theodora married John Quinn (?), 35 years younger than she, and then after Theodora died John Quinn couldn't marry a man 35 years younger than he, so he adopted him, whose name I don't remember. Is this what you recall the woman at "Berkeley Smoke" who was married to the "Ishi" filmmaker say?
What was the name of the filmmaker and the Ishi film, as well, if you recall? Is this it - "Ishi: The Last Yahi" (1992) - http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/ishi_the_last_yahi (which I was able to view in the Chrome Browser) - and he - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jed_Riffe?
Great to learn of Michael Harner and shamanism as well. I'd like to learn more about (Saami) shamanism from you, as well.
Very nice to meet K, S and M yesterday - and at "Berkeley Smoke." :)
Cheers, Scott

Ishi apparently wasn't the last Yahi, according to new evidence from UC Berkeley research archaeologist

Hi Stéphane, Nelson, Li Fei and friends,
Thanks for a fascinating Tourism Studies Working Group talk on "THE AMBIVALENCE OF HERITAGE: Objectification, Commodification, and Loss of Cultural Resources (Yunnan, China)" yesterday at Berkeley - http://www.tourismstudies.org/
Do you think we might begin a kind of Derung language World University and School out of such TSWG and your research? And have you, Stéphane (or Li Fei or Jie even, for example) ever edited a Derung Wikipedia page in the following various languages, and which Wikipedia pages are a model, with database, for World University and School schools -
It's in these language-centric universities and schools that World University and School plans to create many jobs for graduate students in all 7,097 languages, whereby these graduate students will also likely becomes heads of and faculty at these universities and schools with time. Minority languages in China will be important World University and Schools ... Great talk Stéphane!
Concerning my previous email to all of us (per Peg's talk) and in talking with Li Fei yesterday at the TSWG talk, I'm also curious about best translations for the title of my Harbin book "Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin" -http://www.scottmacleod.com/
How would you improve upon these translations of this title (from Google Translate):

Inspiring talk, Stéphane - thank you!
Best regards,
Scott
