See more at womenspress.com Moira Villiard: Working From Within PHOTO NE-DAH-NESS ROSE GREENE ROSE NE-DAH-NESS PHOTO EXPIRES MAY 31, 2021 In the years that I have spent as a multidisciplinary artist, I have realized that my medium is space — space and people. With this realization, it has become easier for me to unpack what I am trying to do with my work in the community. My work is not necessarily an attempt at trying to “transform” so much as it is an effort to encourage community members to explore their stories and connections to one another. Working from within, it is easier for me to foster collective understandings of place and strive for shifts in power, culture, and behavior. I have recently been involved in coordinating interactive mural painting experiences that uplift narratives outside of the mainstream. As someone who grew up on the rez [reservation] and who is constantly navigating my own experience of having mixed identities, my work will always uplift Indigenous history and teachings through imagery and land acknowledgement. I do not represent all Indigenous experiences — obviously, no one person can — but I hope to use my art to open space, deconstruct the notion of a single history of a place, and invite collaboration with people from all backgrounds to engage in the arts as public tools for discourse and positive change. artbymoira.com 4 | Minnesota Women’s Press | womenspress.com | May 2021 Jamie Schumacher: Place Metaphysical I love to see visual art crafted Supplies by artists from a neighborhood, Tarot Decks, Books, with input from residents and Incense, other constituents.

  • The Sovereignty of Story: the Voices of Native American Women Continuing Indigenous Knowledge and Practice
    THE SOVEREIGNTY OF STORY: THE VOICES OF NATIVE AMERICAN WOMEN CONTINUING INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE Hannah Espinoza A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Andrea Riley-Mukavetz, Advisor Kimberly Coates ii ABSTRACT Andrea Riley-Mukavetz, Advisor Literary studies has historically focused on texts written by Native Americans as reflecting historical aspects of culture and tradition that serve anthropological research. However, recent scholarship in Native studies is pushing for readings that see Native writers past and present as working to build theories of decolonization that will serve purposes of social recognition and political sovereignty amongst other things. This thesis seeks to disrupt conventions of reading Native texts as “histories” or deviations from “oral tradition” that are based on paradigms of Western theory. Instead, this project argues that Native women, by writing memoirs, are building their own theories of sovereignty and decoloniality through literature. Deborah Miranda, Ohlone/Coastanoan-Esselen, writes a collective, or tribal, memoir that works toward a theory of storying and ancestral memory that deconstructs the historical narrative surrounding California Missions and contributes to renewed definitions of sovereignty and ways of belonging to land. Louise Erdrich, Ojibwe, teaches a non-Native audience that knowledge can be made and remembered through continued indigenous lifeways and texts. Both women use memoir as a space in which they can address past grievances of colonialism but also actively contribute to a decolonial future that recognizes and honors indigenous knowledge and sovereignty. iii To My Grandfather Lee Because no education is wasted iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I remain grateful for the significant amount of time Andrea Riley-Mukavetz spent working on this with me when she was under little obligation to do so.

  • Final Edit Thesis
    An NDN* in TRANS*ition: The Academic-ish Journal of a Trans/Non-Binary Non-Status Mixed-Nation Urban-Nish by Sarah Conroy A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts The Department of Geography and Planning University of Toronto © Copyright by Sarah Conroy, 2017 ii An NDN* in TRANS*ition: The Academic-ish Journal of a Trans/ Non-Binary Non-Status Mixed-Nation Urban-Nish Sarah Conroy Master of Arts in Human Geography The Department of Geography and Planning University of Toronto 2017 Abstract An archive of my journey in coming to understand the metamorphosis of oral traditions and ceremonies in the urban context and its relation to my own mixed-nation, non- status, and non-binary identities. I tentatively apply the practical knowledge from my undergraduate degree in Aboriginal Studies (now known as Indigenous Studies), where the focus of my work was rooted in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe language), Aatisoohkaanan (Algonquin legends), Aatisoohkaanak (Algonquin legendary characters), as they applied to my personal experiences and journey as a mixed urban Indigenous gender-queerdo. Of particular interest are topics such as mixedness, kin/ citizen/member/ship, gender, and where and how they intersect with land, the city, and urban Indigenous experiences. Through this I weave together a foundation for a discussion which centers a queer mixed urban Indigenous experience, a foundation of rich soil from which I intend to take root in and grow. iii Acknowledgements To all the beautiful two-leggeds in my life: Jamaias DaCosta, Kaya linky, Joan and Chris, and young Neil yous are the most kind and loving family and I feel so blessed to have you in my life each and everyday.

The purpose of the exhibit is to demonstrate the rich and long history of Indigenous groups in Saskatchewan’s North, specifically through the presence of art along natural surfaces. It is the culmination of many years of work by archaeologist Tim E.H. Jones. While the exhibit predominantly focuses on rock art found along the Churchill River system, this type of archaeological site is found in some form throughout human history. A note regarding terminology: throughout the exhibit the word “Aboriginal” is used to describe First Nations groups who are not Inuit or Métis in Saskatchewan’s north. This word has fallen into disfavor and the term “Indigenous” is now preferred to refer to people of First Nations, Métis and Inuit ancestry. The following document outlines where the exhibit can be linked to the Saskatchewan Curriculum for Kindergarten through Grade Twelve. Additional chapters focus on a description of the Kiwetinohk exhibit including a transcription of each of the panels, a discussion of art in archaeology globally as well as in Saskatchewan, and activities for students in order to fully comprehend the significance of rock art studies.

First we take a look at the Anasazi, situated in the arid Southwest, and the construction of the eight hundred room Pueblo Bonito. The DVD then shifts focus to Mesa Verde where Cliff Palace provides us with a glimpse into a prospering society. The DVD also takes a look at the largest U.S. city before 1800, Cahokia located near St. Louis. Part 2: Mexico: The Rise and Fall of the Aztecs (49 min) By 1300 A.D. the Aztecs were an established civilization. Their city, Tenochtitlan, became the centre of an empire. But 1519, with the arrival of Hernando Cortez under the Spanish flag, marked the beginning of the end. Part 3: Clash of Cultures: The People Who Met Columbus (49 min) When Columbus arrived in 1492, Spaniards estimated that two million Taino people lived on Hispaniola. After 1496, there were less than 70,000. By the beginning of the 1600’s, after being subjected to two unconquerable weapons, muskets and disease, the Taino population was reported to be extinct.
