Navajo patriarchy is evident in various spaces on the Navajo Nation such as government, leadership, ceremonies, music, sports, home, and relationships. Navajo men and women throughout the many generations prior to settler colonialism followed an egalitarian and complementary way of life. Men and women knew their roles and responsibilities to each other and the community. For the past few hundred years, Navajo men adopted patriarchy to protect their power and authority by declaring certain Navajo spaces as male oriented and traditional even though that was not the case. This article analyzes and discusses the spaces.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"6 12 1","pages":"123 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83429810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Too many scholars frame Mardi Gras Indian play as completely or mostly coalitional and even anti-racist. This article argues that Indian play in Black expressive culture is more pervasive than has been acknowledged, and that it mirrors and reinforces Indian play in hegemonic expressive culture. Rather than pathologizing Black expressive culture, however, the article suggests that scholars use a relational frame to think about Indian play in Black expressive culture as taking place in a field of meaning generated by Whites more than Indians. Such an approach demonstrates the negative impacts of Mardi Gras Indian play, pushes scholars to take Indigenous peoples more seriously as contemporary subjects, and calls for us all to dream a better future together.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"25 1","pages":"64 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81759728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explores the artist’s fluent negotiation between the star stories of her Abenaki and Iroquoian cultural heritage and modernist visual rhetorics. In their Indigenization of the 1969 Apollo moon landing, Letendre’s “arrow” paintings perform a decolonizing intervention within the territorial contest that propelled the Space Race. Letendre’s astral abstractions are contextualized within the storytelling conventions of Eastern Woodlands ethnoastronomies as well as the cosmototemic statements of fellow Indigenous modernists Alex Janvier (b. 1935) and Leon Polk Smith (1906–1996). Like Smith, Letendre Indigenizes Euro-American historiographies of abstraction, reimagining the allegorical origins of painting for contemporary viewers.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"9 1","pages":"122 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82943506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, borderlands did not only exist where Euro-Americans were present. “Relations Across the Lands” argues that Indigenous borderlands existed between tribes and that these Indigenous borderlands functioned differently from borderlands between empires and Native nations. Relationships rested at the center of boundaries, identity, and who could access vital environmental gifts. This article demonstrates the presence of these Indigenous borderlands by examining a case study of the westward movement of the Ojibwe during the eighteenth century and their resulting interactions with the Dakota. The framework of Indigenous borderlands can help decolonize historical narratives and illuminate understudied aspects of Indigenous lifeways further centering Indigenous narratives.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"111 1","pages":"307 - 335 - 336 - 360 - 361 - 399 - 400 - 403 - 403 - 405 - 405 - 407 - 408 - 410 - i - i"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79283010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indigenous documentary film and Indigenous research occupy separate areas of inquiry infrequently cross- referenced in scholarship, but strong family resemblances between them exist that signal mutual relevance and utility with the potential to open new channels between heretofore distinct fields. The central case study of the American Indian Tribal Histories Project is an interview conducted specifically for this essay with Northern Cheyenne filmmaker Francine D. Spang-Willis on the AITHP and the two series of documentary films on Northern Cheyenne and Crow histories and cultures that accompany it. This essay presents the interview in full in order to place the process Spang-Willis developed to complete the American Indian Tribal Histories Project into conversation with the work of Indigenous research scholars Linda Tuhiwai Smith (Ngati Awa/Ngati Porou), Shawn Wilson (Cree), Jo-Ann Archibald (Sto:lo), Margaret Kovach (Cree/Métis) to show how Indigenous documentary filmmaking enacts and performs instances of Indigenous research methods just as Indigenous research methodologies can be utilized to develop techniques of reading and critical analysis suitable for the Indigenous arts and humanities.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"116 1","pages":"336 - 360"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85500817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
