The consultation was meant to discuss a pipe that qualified for disposition to the Brother-town, the same pipe that was requested for repatriation by the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut under NAGPRA. As the tribal historic preservation officer (THPO) for the Brothertown, I was charged with corroborating the historical connection between the Brothertown and the pipe that was established initially by the YPM. Corroborating affiliation of the pipe with the Brothertown was only the first step in a plan to draft our own request for disposition of the pipe. However, along the way, the information gathered was being used in a political game of authenticating Indianness using not only federal standards but also the tribal standards of each of the two Native nations involved. This case study tracks the methodology for making repatriation requests on behalf of a federally unrecognized tribe by outlining the process of gathering historical records to establish affiliation. Broadly, this article explores the precarious nature of petitioning for repatriations on behalf of an unrecognized tribe and how institutions exploit the recognition status of tribes in an effort to maintain control over cultural items.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"186 1","pages":"59 - 85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80615406","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}

Published in the Mount Holyoke Monthly, “The Serpent” challenges federal policy during the allotment era, particularly the unparalleled power of Indian agents as key political figures during and after Oklahoma statehood. Bronson represents the threat of sexual violence during this time, forecasting the jurisdictional crisis that Native communities would continue to face up to the present. In response to these dangers to the Cherokee Nation and its citizens, Bronson’s story re-members Cherokee matrilineal and clan legal systems as her protagonist intervenes in the predatory advances of the Indian agent. The story, I argue, marks a turning point in Bronson’s early career as a powerful indictment of settler injustice. Her interventions are much more measured in Bronson’s more familiar 1944 text, Indians Are People, Too. Nevertheless, reading Bronson’s later nonfiction and early fiction illustrates the complexity of the Cherokee literary tradition theorized by Daniel Heath Justice as Bronson moves from resistant Chickamauga consciousness in her early fiction to Beloved Path writing in her later career, all the while advocating for Indigenous justice and sovereignty. This study contributes to broader debates regarding Native writings from the early twentieth century, when figures like Bronson demonstrated rhetorical savvy by moving between political and polemical writings, using literary fiction and nonfiction as vehicles to deliver powerful critiques of the settler state.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"72 3 1","pages":"36 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72612592","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}

A catalyst is an item or person that precipitates action, and cattle in the West during the second half of the nineteenth century did just that. Winnemucca, like other nineteenth-century authors, offered rhetorical practices to show that peoples regarded as subjected and assimilated were in truth employing existing discursive methods to further their own causes. Winnemucca describes her experience of US settlement of the West as an example of how one Indigenous community had to dramatically alter because of the encroachment of Americans and their cattle. These struggles permeate her most famous work, her memoir, Life among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims (1883). In addition, some of her most passionate rhetoric appears in her newspaper articles, published in Newspaper Warrior, as well as in her 1884 congressional testimony, in archives at the University of Nevada, Reno. Winnemucca would come to describe the settlers’ actions against her people in terms of cattle in two key ways: cattle became competition for resources, and cattle became comparative figures, as the Paiutes themselves came to be treated as merely another form of stock. I argue that Winnemucca used cattle deliberately in her memoir, essays, and testimony to gain sympathy from white audiences and US government officials in order to help her people, the Paiutes, during the cattle boom of the 1880s.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"28 1","pages":"114 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84981745","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}

Although disease outbreaks were common at the overcrowded and underfunded Indian school, this year was different: within a few months, more than a third of the student body was hospitalized, and at least seventeen students died. The students suffered from a virulent new strain of influenza, one that traveled the globe in the lungs of soldiers and civilians dislocated by the First World War and killed approximately fifty million people. This article traces the influenza pandemic at the Haskell Institute and examines its consequences for students, their families, and school officials. The story of the outbreak at Haskell provides a window into Indian boarding schools during the early twentieth century and demonstrates how Indian Office officials often prioritized the survival of their institutions over the well-being of the people they supposedly served. Students and their families did not passively accept the authority of federal officials, however. Instead, they made their own choices, even under the most difficult circumstances.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"7 1","pages":"1 - 35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82854630","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}

Additionally, rather than pursue blanket enforcement, the statement presented eight enforcement priorities. By August 2019 thirty-three states had legalized medical marijuana; eleven of these plus the District of Columbia had also legalized recreational marijuana. Given the positive impacts seen in these states (increased tax revenue and reductions in substance abuse and crime rates), some Native Nations passed their own laws legalizing medical, recreational, or agricultural cannabis. However, these efforts have been obstructed by the US Drug Enforcement Agency’s contradictory and erratic actions. This article examines the impacts of this targeted differential enforcement of cannabis laws on Native Nations’ cannabis decisions by discussing the racialized development of cannabis laws, how legalization differs between states and Native Nations, impacts of legalization on Native Nations’ sovereignty practices, concerns of Native nation citizens about legalization (including opposition to legalization), and legalization’s potential long-term effects. Finally, the impacts of these national actions are shown in a brief examination of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ recent movement toward legalization of medical marijuana.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"38 1","pages":"408 - 438"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74338418","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}

In settler-colonial contexts, Holocaust memory has a tendency to marginalize Indigenous peoples and obscure histories of colonial violence. In 2017 Canada unveiled its first national site dedicated exclusively to the Holocaust—the National Holocaust Monument (NHM)—several blocks away from the federal Parliament buildings in downtown Ottawa. I contend that while the monument ostensibly commemorates the genocide of European Jewry, it also reflects Canada’s ongoing history as a settler state founded on the dispossession of Indigenous peoples from their lands. Proponents of the NHM—monument designers, spokespersons, and political supporters—engage with themes that are central to Canada’s national myth. They frame civilizational progress as the overarching narrative of both human and national history and identify contemporary Canada as the culmination of this history. This narrative marginalizes Indigenous peoples in mutually reinforcing ways: it erases Indigenous peoples from the landscape while at the same time constructing settler society as newly “indigenized” inhabitants. In this way, the Canadian state uses the NHM to legitimize the theft of land while also suppressing Indigenous claims to land.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"52 1","pages":"379 - 407"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77598747","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, some Indigenous businesses do attempt to function according to decolonial and Indigenous values and principles, even though they exist within and interface with a larger capitalist context. This article examines such efforts in the Indigenous art market in Canada—a market that raises issues of both economic and cultural imperialism. It is based on fieldwork conducted in two contexts: (1) in Vancouver, British Columbia, with Northwest Coast artists and entrepreneurs whose objective is to gain greater control over the commodification of their cultural heritage, and (2) in the Upper Mauricie region of Québec with members of the Atikamekw Nehirowisiwok Nation who are working to develop their art market in a way that respects their values and nurtures their ways of life. These two examples provide ethnographic grounding to the following questions: What do on-the-ground attempts to decolonize and indigenize capitalist markets look like? What is the difference between making market relations \"less colonial\" and making them \"more Indigenous,\" and what is the interplay between the two? To what extent can these processes cross over from reform to the actual dismantlement of colonial power structures and institutions?","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"54 1","pages":"306 - 338"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79306650","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}
