None gave permission for their remains to be used by “science.” The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), passed by Congress in 1990, requires these institutions to survey the remains, catalogue them, report them to the federal government, find their likely descendants, and return the ancestors promptly. Thirty-three years later, that law has been honored mainly in the breach. Only in the past two or three years have some institutions begun to get serious about this responsibility. Using the University of California, Santa Barbara, as a case study, this essay charts the long path by which well-intended anthropologists managed to see themselves as champions of Native rights, yet never take steps to return the ancestors’ remains. While the goals of scientific study may be presented as beneficial to all humankind, this case study shows how the claimed interests of scientists persistently trump the human rights of the people whose bones they keep for study. The essay also reports on the long-standing efforts of Chumash Indians to recover their ancestors, and on recent moves by the university to fulfill their legal and moral obligations.","PeriodicalId":43253,"journal":{"name":"CALIFORNIA HISTORY","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135561941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By examining the testimonios and court cases of elite and nonelite women engaged in or accused of transgressive gender behavior, the author centers the lives and experiences of women within Californio ranchero culture to argue that despite patriarchal regulation, elite Californio women, or rancheras, used their racialized class privilege to define a hegemonic ranchera femininity while simultaneously influencing, reinforcing, and circumventing Californio discourses of gendered respectability and proper womanhood. The article shows how these discourses and sociocultural systems—such as the court, community, and family—together determined whether a woman stood within the boundaries of gender propriety as a “good woman” or outside them as a “bad woman.” It shows the interrelatedness of the gendered dynamics of nation building at a localized level, specifically through women’s experiences, and illustrates women’s integral role as complex and consequential participants in the discursive contouring of hegemonic womanhood.","PeriodicalId":43253,"journal":{"name":"CALIFORNIA HISTORY","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82621176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the California gold rush through the mid-twentieth century, the infilling and polluting of the bay had gone on without interruption until three University of California, Berkeley, faculty/administrator wives stepped out of their comfort zones and acted. Catherine (“Kay”) Kerr, Sylvia McLaughlin, and Esther Gulick spearheaded what became a historic and ongoing effort to save the bay they loved. At the outset, they saw themselves neither as feminists nor as environmentalists, and certainly did not expect to be newsmakers. But the campaign they launched in the early 1960s changed the women in significant ways and helped fuel California’s rise to a leadership role in American environmentalism. Moreover, the Save the Bay movement they launched led to similar campaigns on the East Coast and Gulf Coast of the United States and to international recognition of their successes. Their efforts and achievements are perhaps best understood within the historical context of an evolving and greening California Dream of a better and more just life for all.","PeriodicalId":43253,"journal":{"name":"CALIFORNIA HISTORY","volume":" 73","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72497515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous scholarship—including They Called It Prairie Light: The Story of Chilocco Indian School (1994) by K. Tsianina Lomawaima and Education for Extinction: American Indians and the Boarding School Experience, 1875–1928 (1995) by David Wallace Adams—documented how IBS policies and practices aimed to forcibly assimilate Native American children into white American society and make them into subservient workers. In Assimilation, Resilience, and Survival: A History of the Stewart Indian School, 1890–2020, Samantha M. Williams makes a compelling contribution to historical scholarship on the IBS system. Superbly researched and beautifully written, the book presents an in-depth case study of the Stewart Indian School, an off-reservation boarding school located in Carson City, Nevada, that operated from 1890 to 1980. The objectives of the book, Williams explains, are to “examine this complicated...
