The reason might be because the 2010 antiethnic studies HB 2281 legislation is antiIndigenous at its core. To be sure, the other major struggle in Arizona, the 2010 antiimmigrant SB 1070 state measure, which has a repugnant racial profiling component at its core, is also antiIndigenous. The racial profile in question is not Hispanic (which is a misnomer); the profile, per the migra, is and has always been AmerIndigenous. This is the most underreported aspect of these struggles. They are characterized as antiimmigrant or antiMexican measures. They are that, but at their core, both struggles can in effect be traced back to fifteenthand sixteenthcentury thinking. This is not hyperbole; the battles in Arizona have been about who belongs (SB 1070) and what is legitimate and permissible knowledge in the classroom (HB 2281). Both topics are related: SB 1070 attacks the body; HB 2281 attacks the mind. Both attack the spirit. While SB 1070 appears to be a new attack against brownskinned peoples, it is actually but a new phase, the localization of a federal policy that has always been based on racial profiling. What is relatively new is the attack on the thinking of these same communities.

This essay explores one of those threads— authenticity— and how its meanings unraveled in the social discourse surrounding the discovery of what North American Indian tribes called the Ancient One, who is popularly known as Kennewick Man. By examining news reports, television programs, tribal websites, legal documents, and empirical literature about the case, I show how the construction of Kennewick Man’s authenticity through discourse is infused with “referentials”— a term Jean Baudrillard used to illustrate how signs, images, and simulations are substituted for the original, and how referents in mediated form replace the original. Baudrillard claimed that we come to know the real through the “imaginary” in a world where “referentials combine their discourses in a circular, Möbian compulsion.”1 That is, Baudrillard uses as metaphor the Möbius strip— a picture that tricks the eye (a trompel’oeil)— which confuses the viewer by making the boundaries of an object vague. Similarly, social discourse is an illusion, confusing the viewer by reimagining boundaries. This essay, therefore, examines the boundaries around strips of discourse in an attempt to locate the sutures that stitch the authentic with the fake. I argue that mediated discourse has effectively exterminated the authenticity of Kennewick Man. the extermination of Kennewick man’s authenticity through Discourse","PeriodicalId":343767,"journal":{"name":"Wicazo Sa Review","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123793939","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 2004, suicide was the second leading cause of death for AI/ANs of all age groups, and the rate was higher than that for the general population. Among 10–14 year olds, 13.5 percent of deaths were from suicide, which is nearly twice the national rate of 7.2 percent.1 Rates of suicide attempt are highest for AI/AN young women, while young men are the most likely to complete suicide. In 2004, among 15–19 year old AI/ AN males, 32.2 percent of deaths were from suicide, which was 2.5 times the rate for males of all races in this age range (12.6 percent).2 Many factors contribute to the high prevalence of suicide in AI/AN communities, including mental illness, substance abuse, feelings of hopelessness or isolation, impulsive behavior, and a history of violence, substance abuse, or mental illness in their families. AI/ANs as a group also have specific risk factors for suicide, including historical trauma, such as boarding school experiences, high rates of poverty, unemployment, and geographic isolation.3 To assist tribes in preventing youth suicide, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) published a detailed resource guide in 2010.4 The guide is titled To Live to See the Great Day That Dawns: Preventing Suicide by American Indian and Alaska Native Youth and Young Adults, and provides a comprehensive review of research studies and programs related Culturally Appropriate evaluation of tribally based suicide Prevention Programs A review of Current Approaches","PeriodicalId":343767,"journal":{"name":"Wicazo Sa Review","volume":"273 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116551456","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}
