    = FAST FACTS = Alaska Native Perspectives on the Civil Rights Struggle As we engage in our research and policy work, the Alaska Native Policy Center at First Alaskans Institute sometimes collects quick information from readily available sources that others may also find useful. Although we cannot do it all the time, when we do we will share it via our website and social networks for others to access. We make no guarantees about the accuracy or currency of the information, but will make sure to include citation and important dates for others to pursue if they are interested. Framing the Topic Civil Rights are an ever advancing state of governmental understanding and practice to build equity into the systems that operate all around us and create the web of ‘civilization’ our society is supposedly built around here in the US Civil Rights on one side has to do with how the government behaves, while racial equity is about what society allows and how we behave with one another. Civil Rights then become the enforcement measure to ensure protected populations are indeed ‘protected’. o For Alaska Natives, Civil Rights have been an ever advancing work in progress and are critically linked to racial equity. While there have been advances, moving us away from very overt actions against Alaska Natives (e.g., the “No Dogs or Natives Allowed” signs, or being barred from ‘Pioneer Homes’, etc.), there have also been set-backs that continue to highlight the extreme difference in the results of government, as seen by its impacts on the various people supposedly ‘protected’ by Civil Rights and racial equality.

On 4 March 1944 the Alaskan newspaper the Nome Nugget published an editorial written by sixteen-year-old local Inupiat Alberta Schenck. In her letter she publically voiced how many Alaska Natives felt in their homelands amid the employment of racial prejudice against them. “To whom it may concern: this is a long story but will have to make it as brief as possible,” she began, addressing the tensions “between natives, breeds, and whites.” In the editorial forum of the Nome Nugget the young Schenck implemented a discussion concerning discrimination toward Indigenous people, as made apparent in her use of racist language in distinguishing herself and members of her fellow Indigenous community as “natives” and “breeds.”1 An unexpected activist, Schenck worked as an usher at the Alaska Dream Theater in Nome where she took tickets and assisted patrons in locating their seats. At her job she was also responsible for maintaining the lines of segregation between seating for White patrons on the main floor and Native patrons in the balcony.

Note this excerpt, seldom surpassed in beauty of thought and diction, from his address to Governor Stevens: Why should I mourn at the untimely fate of my people? Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature and regret is useless. Your time of decay may be distant — but it will surely come, for even the White Man whose God walked and talked with him as friend with friend cannot be exempt from the common destiny. We may be brothers after all. Let the White Man be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. Dead — I say? There is no death. Only a change of worlds.

  • Native People
    North Cascades National Park l?ETili¥»fcfcM:r.E£l Ross Lake National Recreation Area Lake Chelan National Recreation Area Ross Lake and Lake Chelan U.S. Department of the Interior Native People Indigenous Native people have lived along the Skagit River for many centuries. Many different bands have traditionally occupied the Skagit valley. Today these bands are People represented by the Upper Skagits, the Sauk and Suiattle tribes, and the Swinomish. Archeologists have found evidence that the Upper Skagit band lived in the area now called Ross Lake National Recreation Area at least 8,000 years ago. The archeology of this area tells the story of a people who lived from the land through fishing, hunting, and gathering. The Newhalem area is a known fishing and hunting area as well as the head of canoe travel on the Skagit River. The name "Newhalem" is a corrupted Lushootseed word for "place where the goats are snared." (Lushootseed is the language of the native people around Puget Sound.) In the winter, you can often find the mountain goat on the slopes visible from near the North Cascades Visitor Center near Newhalem. The mountain goat provided wool which was used to make clothing and blankets. Newhalem was also a place for salmon fishing. It is evident each autumn, when the salmon are spawning, why the Upper Skagits chose this area to fish. The archeology that has been done in the North Cascades National Park so far has only scratched the surface of the story of these ancestors. North Newhalem is only one place that has been traditionally used.

  • Manufacturing and Industrial Center Planned Action
    Manufacturing and Industrial Center Planned Action Final Environmental Impact Statement January 2021 Prepared by: BERK Consulting, Inc. Cultural Resource Consultants, LLC Hererra Inc., Environmental Consultants Transpo Group Cover Letter January 11, 2021 Subject: Cascade Industrial Center Planned Action EIS Dear Reader, The Cascade Industrial Center (formerly called the Arlington-Maryville Manufacturing Industrial Center or AMMIC) is a vibrant industrial employment center for the city of Arlington. Given the area’s importance to the local and regional economy, and its desire to keep the center vital and thriving, the City completed a subarea plan that included a vision, and goals and policies for the future. This proposal is to adopt a Planned Action consistent with RCW 43.21c.440 and associated Comprehensive Plan amendments to address necessary capital investments that study implementation of the AMMIC Subarea Plan. The Draft EIS on the proposal was issued on October 1, 2020. The City evaluated three alternatives in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS): . No Action Alternative – The Current Comprehensive Plan and Zoning would be retained and allow modest job increases. Given current market conditions this is likely to reflect existing job sectors in the subarea. Alternative 1: Cascade Center Vision Job Sectors: Alternative 1 is based on the vision for job growth, geographical distribution, and sector mix of the AMMIC Subarea Plan. Higher density employment is anticipated on sites identified as “opportunity sites” in the Subarea Plan and development at existing employment density is anticipated on the remaining sites with development capacity. Employment uses would be designed to take advantage of the area’s natural features, including a relocated Edgecomb Creek.

  • Introduction: Listening to ʔəms Tɑʔɑw
    Introduction: Listening to ʔəms tɑʔɑw Paige Raibmon he history written as I remember it,” said Elsie, expressing her sense of this project. It was December 2011, and we were in North Vancouver at her granddaughter Harmony’s “Thouse, visiting and working on this book. We were playing around with potential titles, and earlier that day, Harmony and I had sug- gested “Chi-chia’s Teachings.” “Chi-chia,” which means “grandmother” in the Sliammon1 language, had seemed a logical word to include in the title: many people call Elsie “Chi-chia,” not just her biological grand children; moreover, Elsie’s own Chi-chia has always been im- portant to her. “Teachings” is the word Elsie uses to refer to the ɬaʔamɩn ways, beliefs, values, and practices that she recounts in this book. But to Elsie’s ears, “Chi-chia’s Teachings” sounded didactic and overemphasized her as an individual. The teachings, she re- minded us, do not belong to any individual; they are “ʔəms tɑʔɑw” or “our teachings.” ʔəms tɑʔɑw are, as she later explained, “the very essence of our well-being.” The phrase “the history written as I re- member it” was not Elsie’s suggestion for a title but was instead part of her extended explanation of the problems with our proposal. The phrase stayed with me, however, and I jotted it down. I felt slightly clever, as though I had salvaged a fragment of verbal ephemera. Several months later, in need of a working title to submit to the press, I shared my notes with Harmony, and we decided to use “The History Written As I Remember It.” Good thing I wrote that down, I thought, feeling slightly cleverer.

Emigh, Chair This study uses narrative analysis to examine how racial, ethnic, and national schemas were mobilized by social actors to categorize Duwamish identity from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. In so doing, it evaluates how the classificatory schemas of non- indigenous actors, particularly the state, resembled or diverged from Duwamish self- understandings and the relationship between these classificatory schemes and the configuration of political power in the Puget Sound region of Washington state. The earliest classificatory schema applied to the Duwamish consisted of a racial category “Indian” attached to an ethno- national category of “tribe,” which was honed during the treaty period. After the “Indian wars” of 1855-56, this ethno-national orientation was supplanted by a highly racialized schema aimed at the political exclusion of “Indians”. By the twentieth century, however, formalized racialized exclusion was replaced by a racialized ethno-national schema by which tribal membership was defined using a racial logic of blood purity.
