Satanta's incarceration at the Huntsville penitentiary in Texas was considered an innovative approach to America's ongoing \"Indian problem\" in its attempt to disavow tribal sovereignty and prosecute Native \"criminals\" through the US penal system. Satanta's contested death remains a troubling signifier of the untenable combination of political and racial forces rendering this approach both impractical and unjust. This essay reconsiders Satanta's life and career, aiming to place his actions, motives, and recorded speeches within a necessary framework of Kiowa culture and tradition. Taking for an opening text Satanta's gravestone marker, located in the prison cemetery in Huntsville, Texas, this essay also launches an interrogation into the archive of western conquest itself and the processes of historical production that work to construct negative Indigenous identities out of the violent imperatives of Manifest Destiny.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"102 1","pages":"249 - 280"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80521941","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 making this argument, received ideas about Indian blood are decentered by demonstrating how Indian blood is created through bureaucratic acts rather than biological processes. As a vehicle to these larger questions, I examine how the US government and the EBCI negotiated the boundary between Indians and non- Indians over the course of the nineteenth century. Central to these boundaries were rolls assembled by the US government in the context of Cherokee claims that were made before and after the Treaty of New Echota of 1835. Toward the end of the nineteenth and into the twentieth century, the EBCI politically operationalized these rolls as a foundation for defining their tribal membership requirements. In so doing, they created and became the first tribe to adopt a minimum blood quantum requirement as a criterion for tribal membership. A particular focus is given to the debates surrounding the efforts of Keziah Vann’s descendants to secure their place on the Cherokee rolls and acknowledgment by the US government and the EBCI of their Cherokee identity. Because this family was situated on the boundary between Indians and non-Indians from the time of the Cherokee Reservation Roll of the Treaty of 1817 until the Guion Miller Roll of 1909, debates surrounding this family have much to reveal about the Indian and non-Indian divide and the uses of blood and bureaucracy to construct Indian identity.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"107 1","pages":"135 - 167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74464626","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 examines the broader meaning and significance of the federally funded boarding school education provided to Indigenous female students at Chemawa during a period of educational reform in which the long-standing emphasis on gendered vocational education for Indigenous youth became part of a national movement in public education. By demanding and actively seeking forms of education that fit their needs and desires, some female Indigenous students carved out spaces of maneuverability and access within and beyond the Chemawa campus. They negotiated these spaces to create greater opportunity for themselves. Many existing stories of Indigenous youth resistance in education—including those told by David Wallace Adams, K. Tsianina Lomawaima, and Theresa McCarty—are stories of students turning away from schools. The stories told here, by contrast, are examples of Indigenous youth turning toward education and actively negotiating for different options. Female students’ resistance at Chemawa took two distinct forms: advocacy for choice and advocacy for self-definition. These students advocated for themselves by negotiating both the curriculum and broader educational access, and their stories add depth and new angles to the historiography of Indigenous education in federally funded government boarding schools during this period. Their educational self-empowerment disrupted the boundaries of control that Office of Indian Affairs boarding schools sought to exert.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"94 1","pages":"101 - 132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77291155","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}

First, I give a short historical overview and definition of the genre of poetry film, reflect upon the concept of intermediality, and connect these generic and theoretical considerations to Alexie’s conception of his art. I then analyze the practices of intermediality in The Business of Fancydancing, that is, the conjunction of poetry and film through adaptation, intermedial referencing, and media combination. My readings of selected sequences illustrate that Alexie combines poetry, film, and Indigenous experience to challenge the human tendency to categorize, to attribute fixed and stable qualities to category members, and to define rigid boundaries between us and them. By exploring the interstices between media, genres, and cultures, he foregrounds the tremendous potential of Indigenous art to decenter both hegemonic artistic forms and practices of identity formation.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"49 1","pages":"36 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85081694","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 pageants offer a place for women to become spokespersons on social justice issues without the sexual objectification associated with beauty pageants. Within Native nations, we see examples of youth creating a better life for their community through Indigenous pageants. There is a growing literature among Indigenous studies scholars on community-based women’s leadership. Wilma Mankiller offers a theory on Indigenous women’s leadership that centers the community at the heart of decision making. The winners of the Miss World Eskimo–Indian Olympics (WEIO) all share this common feature; they want to better their communities, and they view the pageant as an opportunity to do so. The women who undertake the weeklong experience participate in community service events in the Fairbanks region. These leaders are immersed in experiential learning, an invaluable opportunity that cannot be replicated through theoretical knowledge. The women are presented with situations in which they share cultural experiences and give advice cross-culturally and cross-generationally. Gaining the opportunity to be a voice for their peoples, the women must quickly consolidate their knowledge and sharpen their communication skills as they are repeatedly questioned about Native Alaskan societies. Using Wilma Mankiller’s ideas on community-centered leadership, this article explores the case study of community service events featured in the Miss WEIO contest to illustrate that Native Alaskan pageants can provide youth with an invaluable opportunity for experiential leadership that is intrinsically linked to promoting community well-being.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"56 1","pages":"204 - 235"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88301374","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}

Therefore, as a contribution to discussions around Indigenous sovereignty and environ-mental justice, this article draws on Hogan’s novel to show how colonizing representations work to perpetuate trauma—revealing diverse traumas as linked, intergenerational, and tied to stories. To counter these threats, the novel employs formal strategies to construct alternative representations that promote healing by uncovering links between trauma to situated (racialized/gendered) bodies and the environment and by proffering “new stories” that recognize the living agency of the more-than-human world. Drawing parallels between the extractive and representational histories of James Bay and Standing Rock/DAPL, the article analyzes maps and cultural narratives alongside the novel to demonstrate how these representations justify violence against Indigenous peoples and lands based on ethnic and speciesist hierarchies. Ultimately, it is argued, Hogan creates a multivocal ceremonial form of storytelling modeled on healing and mourning rituals designed to reintegrate the individual into a more-than-human living community and to redistribute responsibility for ethical trauma responses among a wider alliance public, functions increasingly relevant to current struggles for environmental and climate justice.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"38 1","pages":"1 - 35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83763962","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}

Specifically, we look at the way in which bureaucratic control has created a system that, while originally and ostensible intended to protect the “rights” of American Indian landowners, in fact functions to restrict, undermine, and redirect “access” to those lands, often to the economic benefit of non-Indian farmers and ranchers. We consider how the leasing system administered by the Anadarko Agency of the Bureau of Indian Affairs generates a “bundle of powers” that creates profound barriers to American Indian access to their own property. At work in the BIA’s bundle of powers over access to this land are a host of actors and institutions, both contemporary and historic, that have worked together to shape the social relations that give rise to the current alienation from and dispossession of Oklahoma’s Native-owned lands from their intended beneficiaries. Indeed, this tenuous situation is reflective of complexities attending continual retrenchments and revisions of federal Indian land policy—periodic reassertions of bureaucratic authority and control that reposition actors in perennially shifting sociolegal relationalities. We seek if not to disentangle these relationships, then to at least render them visible and thus open to debate and intervention.","PeriodicalId":22216,"journal":{"name":"The American Indian Quarterly","volume":"21 1","pages":"508 - 533"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81997125","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}
