The rise of federal Indian boarding schools looms large over the long narrative of Indian education in America, often shading the way scholars interpret earlier Indian engagement with Anglo-style education. This is particularly evident in scholarship that traces the roots of American education and civilization policies to Henry Knox in the 1790s. The emphasis scholars have placed on white men and their initiatives toward \"civilizing\" Indian people have inadvertently erased indigenous agency and power within the early education system. Informed by indigenous feminism, this article utilizes ethnohistorical approaches to piece together how Mohican women advocated for the prioritization of girls' education in the 1790s. Their emphasis on female education resulted in greater prosperity for the nation, but their work to establish this model was quickly hijacked by white missionaries and Indian agents who took credit for the idea and Stockbridge success. The female-first strategy that was originally deployed to aid in the securing of Stockbridge land and sovereignty was later adopted by white architects of Indian education as a tool of tribal destruction. Drawing upon Mohican women's never-before-analyzed letters, Mohican craft works, and a careful reevaluation of War Department and missionary records, this piece contributes to the growing body of literature on indigenous women and power in early America while complicating the narrative of the decline of indigenous women's authority in the early years of the American Republic.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"39 1","pages":"434 - 476"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90860138","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}

The Vision Quest-University of Wyoming (VQ-UWYO) project addresses the physical occupation of Arapaho lands and the concomitant erasure of Arapaho culture as evidenced by the critically endangered status of the Arapaho language. VQ-UWYO is an augmented reality (AR) mobile place-based learning game that teaches Arapaho language and culture on the UWYO campus. The affordances of mobile technology in general and mapping and locative technologies like the global positioning system (GPS) in particular are present-day extensions of the European colonial enterprise of map making which named, mapped and thereby claimed ownership of the entire world. VQ-UWYO uses these same technologies to push back against the tide of cultural genocide and re-anchor Arapaho place names, language and culture to the UWYO campus. The foundational assumption that the land that is now the UWYO campus was a terra nullius to be freely taken, occupied and used is being challenged in order to begin to heal generations and centuries of colonialization and oppression perpetrated on first peoples in general and upon the Arapaho Nation in particular. The VQ-UWYO project seeks new ways to speak the truths of the past so that we as individuals and as a campus community can finally stand on equal ground.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"20 1","pages":"415 - 433"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84558372","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}

Carlisle symbolized Progressive-Era attempts to assimilate indigenous populations through education, and similarly typified mortality at federal schools across the American empire. Consequently, death at Carlisle is commonly used by scholars and activists as a rhetorical tool in arguments surrounding reconciliation and repatriation. Two incommensurable death counts of 220 and 537 decedents for Carlisle have been proposed, based on competing definitions of which types of decedents should and should not be included. Using cross-referential analysis of administrative records related to school, this study suggests a death count of 232 students and 6 proximal individuals, which adheres to historic categories of mortality. Quantitative analysis of mortality is then linked to contextual information, exploring differential fatality as well as absolute and proportional death trends. This reveals social historical information about student experiences and school mortuary practices, illustrating that mortality investigations hold significant potential beyond enumeration. Simultaneously, these findings challenge existing conceptions of death's alleged objectivity, showing that mortality is an unstandardized, complex phenomenon. This complicates emotional invocations of death counts, especially considering the national and international significance ascribed to understanding mortality at indigenous boarding schools. This study argues that more historically persuasive information about death is revealed through qualitative analysis of quantitative data, showing that mortality is best understood as a highly individualized traumatic experience.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"25 1","pages":"383 - 414"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84976860","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}

We present a case study of elements of the history one settlement, ᏅᏅᏁᏱ (Nvnvnyi), as a way to discuss the contemporary reality of heritage management and archaeology's role within that management. Archaeology in Native American communities is often associated with destruction and disruption, so a critical framework that evaluates obliteration is crucial for this specific topic. With the passage of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 and Final Rule in 1995, Ani-Kitu Hwagi people had more say in archaeological activities. Despite this direct oversight, destructive actions to the past and historic resources continues. The countervailing forces to gadahu, gadugi, tõhi, and osi can be summarized as disturbance, including violent erasure, of the past that create historical ruptures. Archaeological work at Nvnvnyi in some cases commits and in others, exposes episodes of rupture of the four Rs for Ani-Kitu Hwagi communities.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"53 1","pages":"243 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91050374","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}

The analysis of collections resulting from archaeological research and the empirical data that it provides can legitimate settler scientists' claims to know and revise Indigenous histories and eliminate the legitimacy of Indigenous claims about these histories from the standpoint of traditional knowledges. Despite these settler colonial tendencies within the discipline of archaeology, decolonizing archaeological practices and narratives and making space for Native American peoples is possible when research is refocused on the desires of descendent communities. Using a framework of responsive justice in working with communities to co-develop questions, methodologies and interpretations, the physical and intellectual heritage and histories of Indigenous communities can be maintained. This article will discuss one case from the Tolay Valley in which Indigenous archaeological research in collaboration with the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria has been leveraged to support the tribe's goals of environmental and cultural restoration at this place and has also revised and enriched the history that can be told about Coast Miwok people's long-term engagement with the Tolay Valley.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"9 1","pages":"221 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85335760","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}

Of late, archaeologies of colonialism seek to counteract Western views of the plight of Indigenous populations and the systematic erasure of peoples, sites, and cultures from the land, from public memory, and the conventional writing of history. For archaeologists, countering narratives of Indigenous loss or absence requires gathering evidence—excavation in the soil and archives—to demonstrate resiliency, even as many present-day Indigenous communities doubt the very premise of that loss and the idea that their histories and cultures are missing or obscured. In this article, we acknowledge the colonial nature of evidence (epistemology) in archaeology. Introducing this special issue, we consider how archaeology has performed as a structure of settler colonialism, and how a close engagement with critical Indigenous theory can reorient us. We argue that a more equitable form of practice is evolving, but that decolonizing archaeology will require a kind of \"undisciplining,\" changing larger institutional structures in universities and heritage protection law. We thus consider the potentials or impossibilities for decolonizing archaeology by centering our questions in the scholarship on settler colonial studies and critical Indigenous theory.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"20 1","pages":"127 - 148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86052509","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}
