Because Native nations are \"domestic dependent nations\" under US and international law, they have unique legal standing to request reparations from the US and state governments. And, because a bureaucratic structure already exists within the federal government to negotiate with Native nations and tribes, and the nations and tribes have their own governments, certain logistical problems for paying reparations are reduced. Ethical arguments for paying reparations are described in light of the history of genocidal actions against indigenous peoples, and legal holdings and Congressional acts relevant to the issue of reparations are reviewed, most notably the \"American Rescue Plan for Native Tribes\". Finally, \"community development\" is compared to reparations as a way to make progress toward fulfilling the US's ethical obligation to Native Americans.","PeriodicalId":343767,"journal":{"name":"Wicazo Sa Review","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124773050","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}

At that time, it had been the only story I had ever heard that focused on this topic. The primary figure in the story is a young boy. His name is Early Twilight Dawn Boy. And, although he is understood as a person with 'disability', the story's focus was not entirely centred on his ability or inability. Rather, the concept of disability in Dine thought is not located to one definable thing or person. It is a relative term, and many things can embody the teachings of 'disability'. These lessons are associated with their relational nature which illuminate Diné value systems rather than the condition of a singular person. The teachings of disability ground the Diné principle of k'é, (positive relationships to all life), and have inter-relational connections to community, land, the non-human, and our own self-understanding. This article engages Diné relational principles embedded in Diné Educational Pedagogy, a distinct lifeway and model of living for Diné people. I retell the story of Early Twilight Dawn Boy to bring forward another understanding of disability based on Diné lifeways and intellectual pedagogy. Such perspectives have been widely excluded throughout educational discourse, structural policy and within institutions that serve Indigenous peoples more broadly. Story gives us all a lens to see other ways of being which are grounded in place, community, and belonging. To relate, is the foundational form of knowing and being known, through a Diné perspective.","PeriodicalId":343767,"journal":{"name":"Wicazo Sa Review","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123742858","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}

What does it even mean to “incorporate” a field that relies in large part on the use of Indigenous pedagogies, methodologies, ontologies, and epistemologies? Is it a matter of fitting such a field into preexisting colonial institutional structures or must there be a more rigorous process of coming to terms with what it truly means to support Indigenous studies?

By detailing the methods and process used through #NativeReads, other tribal nations and communities can use a similar approach to reclaim control of their creative assets and increase awareness of their literary traditions.
