My sisters and I were so used to packing up and hitting the road in the family station wagon (later a minivan), that our childhood trips blur together. Oftentimes we visited our paternal grandparents in Sidney, Nebraska, or our maternal grandparents in Lincoln, Nebraska. But on special occasions we would take lengthy road trips that ended with destinations in the Appalachian Mountains, the Gulf of Mexico, Yellowstone National Park, and Myrtle Beach. As an ―East River‖ South Dakotan, driving six hours west to visit the Black Hills was hardly as exciting as going to the beach.

Il tamburo ancora batte Noi siamo una cosa sola…* *Scritto a calce sulle pareti della chiesa cattolica, occupata dagli indiani della libera nazione di Wounded Knee, da un guerriero lakota il 10 marzo 1973 Nell'anno 1890 una religione messianica si diffuLse' atrna tgelif iandtitano i degli Stati Uniti superstiti dei genocidi compiuti dall'inizio della colonizzazione e, nell'ultimo secolo, depredati di tutto - delle terre, dei mezzi di sostentamento, dei cavalli. Nella prossima primavera - si diceva - sarebbe venuto un nuovo mondo, senza uomini bianchi, in cui gli indiani avrebbero potuto vivere liberi come in passato, i bisonti avrebbero pascolato numerosi e i morti sarebbero tornati in vita. Gli indiani danzarono allora la ghost dance (danza degli spet - tri) per propiziare l'entrata nel nuovo mondo. Nelle terre dei Lakota * tutte le tribù danzavano.

  • Nnn Cheyenne River Sioux Traditions and Resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline
    nnn Cheyenne River Sioux Traditions and Resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline Ryan Goeckner, Sean M. Daley, Jordyn Gunville, and Christine M. Daley n ABSTRACT: The No Dakota Access Pipeline resistance movement provides a poignant example of the way in which cultural, spiritual, and oral traditions remain authorita- tive in the lives of American Indian peoples, specifically the Lakota people. Confronted with restrictions of their religious freedoms and of access to clean drinking water due to construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), members of Lakota communi- ties engaged with traditions specific to their communities to inform and structure the No DAPL resistance movement. A series of interviews conducted on the Cheyenne River Sioux Nation with tribal members reveal that Lakota spiritual traditions have been integral to every aspect of the movement, including the motivations for, organiza- tion of, and understanding of the future of the movement. n KEYWORDS: activism, American Indian, Dakota Access Pipeline, Lakota, oral tradition, resistance, spirituality Ho tunksila wakan tanka Grandfather, Great Spirit; Tateuye topa na ate wakan tanka Four Winds, also Father, Great Spirit, hear Namahonpo me; Wiyohpeyata wakainyan oyate kin To the west, Thunder Being people, look Ahintonwanpo upon me; Na Wiyohinyanpata sinte sapala oyate kin To the north, Buffalo people, look upon me; Ahintonwanpo To the east, Black Tail Deer people, look Na itokagata wanbli oyate kin upon me; Ahintonwanpo To the south, Eagle people, look upon me; Na maka ina na unci maka Mother Earth and Grandmother Earth, look Ahintonwanpo upon me; Na wakatkiya na wakatkiya And upwards and upwards, look upon me; Ahintonwanpo To the center, Spotted Eagle, look upon me.

  • Goodlands the West Unbound: Social and Cultural Studies
    Goodlands the west unbound: social and cultural studies Series editors: Alvin Finkel and Sarah Carter Writing about the western regions of Canada and the United States once turned on the alienation of the peoples of West from East. The mythology of a homogenized West fighting bravely for its rightful place in the sun deflected interest from the lives of ordinary people and from the social struggles that pitted some groups in the West against others—often the elite groups who claimed to speak for the region as a whole on the national stage. Seeking to challenge simplistic interpretations of the West and its institutions, The West Unbound focuses instead on the ways in which particular groups of Westerners—among them women, workers, Aboriginal peoples, farmers, and people from a diverse array of ethnic backgrounds—attempted to shape the institutions and attitudes of the region. The series embraces a variety of disciplines and is intended for both university audiences and general readers interested in the American and Canadian Wests. series titles Icon, Brand, Myth: The Calgary Stampede Edited by Max Foran The Importance of Being Monogamous: Marriage and Nation Building in Western Canada to 1915 Sarah Carter One Step over the Line: Toward a History of Women in the North American Wests Edited by Elizabeth Jameson and Sheila McManus Expansive Discourses: Urban Sprawl in Calgary, 1945–1978 Max Foran Liberalism, Surveillance, and Resistance: Indigenous Communities in Western Canada, 1877–1927 Keith D.
