He also led a private reading on the American Revolution and served as my advisor since I declared for a history major as a freshman. Most importantly, Professor Bahar has been a thoughtful mentor and someone I will always consider a friend. I am fortunate to have had the privilege of learning from him, both as an academic and as a person of tremendous character. I am extremely grateful of his impact on my life and look forward to staying in contact over the years. I would also like to thank the many history and economics professors whose classes I have had the privilege of taking. Professor Leonard Smith has been an absolute joy to get to know both in and out of the classroom.

In February 2010 the Tribe filed a lawsuit in federal district court chal- lenging the Village’s authority to impose storm water charges on tribal trust properties. The Tribe contended the Village lacked jurisdiction to assess the charges, and that the charges constituted illegal taxes. The Village filed a counterclaim against the Tribe, and a claim against the United States alleging that the federal government was responsible for pay- ment of the charges. The district court ruled in favor of the Tribe and the United States, and the Village appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. In October of 2013, the Seventh Circuit upheld the district court’s ruling. The Village of Hobart then sought review by the United States Supreme Court.

    Native American Intellectuals in the 20th Century Ethnic Studies 158 Professor Mattie Harper Spring 2015 email: [email protected] MWF noon‐12:50 office: SSB 249 HSS 2150 office hours: Wed 1:30‐3:00 & by apt. Course Description: This course examines in three chronological sections how Native American intellectuals in the last century have contributed to political projects that are rooted in resistance to colonialism. Beginning with Pan‐Indian organizing in the early 1900s, we look at how Indian intellectuals sought to create a political identity defined by their shared colonial experience that conveys their right to U.S. citizenship. Turning to the middle of the twentieth century, we examine the rise of tribal nationalism as Indian intellectuals articulated the importance of specific national, tribal identities within the political project of asserting tribal sovereignty. Finally, looking at the end of the 20th century, this course considers Native intellectuals’ turn to an Indigenous framework that emerges in a globalized setting, as a way to highlight Native Americans’ persistence and survival despite colonialism and a shared experience with other colonized peoples’ in the world. By examining these three periods of intellectual work, this course will consider changing Native American intellectual discourse and how it reflects transformations in Native political identity. It will look at how each group of thinkers articulates their own perspectives as Native Americans on being Native American that is engaged in their contemporary social and political contexts. The course provides a broad historical perspective on the development of Native political thinking and discusses the recurring issues, problems, and themes inherent to Indian‐white relations, as seen from the Indian perspective.

Over the past nine years, I have been lucky enough to consider the intersection of music and history from the perspective of both a graduate student and a touring musician. More importantly, however, I have met some remarkably generous people along the way. The American Indian Studies Program at the University of Arizona has boasted an incredible faculty over the years, but I am particularly indebted to Tsianina Lomawaima and Nancy Parezo. As a young and uncertain Masters student, they not only gave me a chance, but also provided me with more confidence through their enduring support than they will ever know.

  • The Indigenous Experience in Twentieth-Century Musical Indianism
    The Indigenous Experience in Twentieth-Century Musical Indianism Victoria Clark Millsboro, Delaware M.A.T., Museum Education, George Washington University, 2015 B.A., Music and Spanish, Moravian College, 2013 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia for Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia May 2021 ii Abstract This dissertation reconsiders the American Indian experiences of and reactions to musical Indianism. Indianism was a non-Native intellectual ideology in the early twentieth century that capitalized on the spirituality, primitivity, and authenticity of American Indians as America’s “folk” people for philosophical and aesthetic desires. Some Indianist composers wrote original music inspired by the new influx of American Indian music published by music ethnographers like Alice Fletcher and Frances Densmore at the turn of the century. Others borrowed transcribed melodies verbatim and composed a piece around what they assumed was an authentic American Indian melody. While the composers were White, American Indians were involved in every aspect of musical Indianism. They engaged in and resisted music ethnography, performed and popularized Indianist songs, outwardly supported and critiqued Indianist composers, and participated in Indianist concerts in boarding and reservation schools. American Indian lives are inextricably woven into the history of musical Indianism. Framing Indianism with their stories offers more profound insights into the complexities of Indianist music and its impact on the broader American Indian community in the early twentieth century. iii Dedication To my grandfather, Chief Red Deer, who passed on before I started this work. And to my family, my ancestors, whose strength and courage gave me the chance to write this dissertation.

The opinionnaire used for current students and those graduated from 1977 to 19'2 differed from that used with pre-1977 graduates; the latter provided more open-enead questions. Usable opinionnaires (214) were 27.8% of those distributed. Financial aid ranked first as a factor contributing to college completion, followed' by family support,-having a personal goal, determination, and intelligence. Seven 'composite profiles of Wisconsin Indians who completed college degrees, derived from the opinionnaires and interviews, Showed a number of commonalities: a parent.or parents who understood the value of a college education, no perception of discrimination before .the high school level, discovery that college was more difficult than high school and less personal,, ,pride in being Indian, and sense of purpose.

  • NEWS from SCHOOL: LANGUAGE, TIME, and PLACE in the NEWSPAPERS of 1890S INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOLS in CANADA JANE GRIFFITH a DISSE
    NEWS FROM SCHOOL: LANGUAGE, TIME, AND PLACE IN THE NEWSPAPERS OF 1890s INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOLS IN CANADA JANE GRIFFITH A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN THE FACULTY OF EDUCATION YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO October 2015 © Jane Griffith, 2015 ii ABSTRACT Though few documents remain showing exactly how English was taught at Indian boarding schools (a term that includes both residential schools in Canada as well as their counterpart in the U.S.), some schools produced newspapers. Newspaper production at boarding schools occurred for almost 100 years and in diverse regions across both Canada and the U.S. In this dissertation, I focus on five newspapers produced at four nineteenth-century Indian boarding schools in Canada, arguing that these documents and the printing programs that produced them afford a rare glimpse into language instruction in situ. They feature writing by teachers and students as well as audiences that included community members, governing bodies, and parents. These newspapers participated in an assimilative agenda but, I argue, also feature ways in which students resisted as well as resignified and repurposed English for their own needs. Despite the schools’ agenda to erase Indigenous languages, promoting what Andrea Bear Nicholas calls “linguicide,” students demonstrated in school newspapers their ability to maintain Indigenous languages and learn English. And while much research suggests a separation between boarding schools in Canada and boarding schools in the U.S., these newspapers reveal evidence of both commonalities and communication across the border, particularly as the two systems began.
