This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement ⓒ 2016 The University of Leeds and Sangdon Lee The right of Sangdon Lee to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 ii Abstract The communal revival that began in the mid-1960s developed into a new mode of activism, ‘communal activism’ or the ‘commune movement’, forming its own politics, lifestyle and ideology. Communal activism spread and flourished until the mid-1970s in many parts of the world. To analyse this global phenomenon, this thesis explores the similarities and differences between the commune movements of Denmark, UK and the US. By examining the motivations for the communal revival, links with 1960s radicalism, communes’ praxis and outward-facing activities, and the crisis within the commune movement and responses to it, this thesis places communal activism within the context of wider social movements for social change. Challenging existing interpretations which have understood the communal revival as an alternative living experiment to the nuclear family, or as a smaller part of the counter-culture, this thesis argues that the commune participants created varied and new experiments for a total revolution against the prevailing social order and its dominant values and institutions, including the patriarchal family and capitalism.

  • And So We Walked Delanna Studi and the Trail of Tears
    Monday, October 12, 7:30 PM EDT AND SO WE WALKED DELANNA STUDI AND THE TRAIL OF TEARS Moss Arts Center HomeStage Series AND SO WE WALKED DELANNA STUDI AND THE TRAIL OF TEARS Moderated by Mae Hey, assistant professor of American Indian Studies, Virginia Tech Produced by Octopus Theatricals Mara Isaacs, executive/creative producer Creator and Performer DeLanna Studi Director Corey Madden Excerpts from And So We Walked: Andrew Jackson Fort Cass Stomp Dance Presented in celebration of Indigenous People’s Day, in partnership with the Virginia Tech American Indian and Indigenous Community Center Program Notes PLAYWRIGHT’S NOTE This is a story about a journey. Perhaps that is a statement of the obvious, since you are here to see a play about “An Artist’s Journey along the Trail of Tears.” But it is more than that. It isn’t just my story about my journey. It is a Cherokee story, one that transcends my own personal identity and experiences. It belongs to the Cherokee people, past and present; to the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma and Eastern Band of Cherokee in North Carolina; and to the dozens of people across the country who helped me complete this project. The Cherokee have a word, gadugi (written in Cherokee as “ᎦᏚᎩ”), which describes the tradition of coming together as a community to promote, support, and celebrate each other. Gadugi is a reflection of the tribal mentality and the awareness of our ancestors that we are stronger together. By helping one another, we help the collective. While the word is often connected to communal work (such as barn raisings), it also has a more spiritual meaning.

  • Recovering Collectivity
    176 CARDOZO ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT [Vol. 18:175 Lifvon Guo, an Ami tribal elder, has spent most of his life as a keeper of Ami traditional folksongs. Lifvon quit school at the age of ten to tend to the animals and the crops. He then committed his captivating voice to the preservation of the ancestral songs of his culture as a tribal singer for almost seventy years. He considers himself a messenger, who "work[s] to keep the chants alive."4 Be- cause the Ami language has not been transcribed in written form, oral tradition is the only method by which the tribe has transmitted cultural knowledge-religion, stories, personal narratives-for thousands of years. For his continued devotion to the passing down of Ami works, Lifvon is highly renowned within his tribe, but, until recently, he had little contact or familiarity with the world outside his indigenous community. That is, until he received a tel- ephone call from a friend in Taipei, informing him that Taipei radio was broadcasting a song in which Lifvon was singing an Ami chant. Lifvon soon learned that a recording of him singing the Ami Song ofJoy had been pirated and digitally incorporated into a popular "world beat" tune known as Return to Innocence, of which over five million copies were eventually sold world-wide.5 With the help of friends, Lifvon struggled to reconstruct the events leading up to the international fame of Enigma, and the Ami "contribution" that had made it possible. The answer lay in a performance invitation made by the Ministries of Culture of Tai- wan and France in which Lifvon and his wife, along with about thirty other indigenous singers from Taiwan, were invited to per- form their songs in music halls across Europe.6 For a month they traveled, giving group performances of aboriginal music, which were recorded without their knowledge or consent.

    Strength, Tradition, and Adaptation: Native American Women in Pontiac’s War, the Trail of Tears, and the Wounded Knee Massacre by Stephanie Zwinggi THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History at The University of Texas at Arlington December 2018 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Paul Conrad, Supervising Professor Stephanie Cole David Narrett ii ABSTRACT Strength, Tradition, and Adaptation: Native American Women in Pontiac’s War, the Trail of Tears, and the Wounded Knee Massacre Stephanie Renee’ Zwinggi, M.A. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2018 Supervising Professors: Paul Conrad Native American women have largely been excluded from American history. Although there are a few Native female figures that are highlighted, such as Pocahontas and Sacagawea, the complexities and vastness of Native female cultures have been kept in the shadows. This is unfortunate because of the beauty and strength that lies in the many different traditional Native female cultures. I believe such information should be included in the histories of commonly remembered historical events involving Native American peoples, because it would make the histories richer, more accurate, and more inclusive. Highlighting Native female roles and perspectives in historical events would also certainly empower Native women today. That is why I have chosen three events with different Native groups in different time periods, Algonquian women in Pontiac’s War, Cherokee and Choctaw women in the Trail of Tears, and Lakota women in the Ghost Dance Movement of 1890 and the Wounded Knee Massacre, to focus on in my thesis and highlight the different Native female cultures and the complexities of Native female roles and perspectives during these different events.

Land Acknowledgement Every community owes its existence and vitality to generations from around the world who contributed their hopes, dreams and energy to making the history that led to this moment. Some were brought here or removed against their will, some were drawn to leave their distant homes in the hope of a better life, and some have lived on this land for more generations than can be counted. The Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth is situated upon the ancestral and unceded lands of the Abenaki people. This acknowledgment reminds us of the significance of place, the continued existence of Indigenous peoples, and our commitment to building respectful relationships with the Indigenous peoples who call these lands home today. To learn more about the original people of this land, consider researching Abenaki history and perusing resources on Abenaki language and culture, such as those listed on www.native-languages.org/abenaki.htm.
