Owens Professor and Chairman of the Department of Social Sciences and Health Behavior College of Public Health University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center N5 in collaboration with OD Dr. Lubna Baig Ms. Jacqueline Reynolds Ms. Dawn Martin 3 FOREWORD Additional understanding of life processes is in some ways the most important need of those dedicated to improving the health of American Indians and Alaska Natives. Any tool that makes easier the acquisition of knowledge facilitates the labor requued to push back the confining boundaries of ignorance. Since the earliest days of printing, bibliographic material has been indispensable in facilitating the search for knowledge. The bibliography of Indian mental health by Attneave and Kelso, and of Indian health by Justice in 1980, have provided ready sources of information used by thousands of researchers. The rapid advance of knowledge requires that these venerable bibliographies be updated to collect the reports that have appeared in the decade since these volumes first became available. Not only is new information available about old problems, but new conditions and disorders, previously unknown, have appeared. Adult immunodeficiency syndrome and fetal alcohol syndrome are examples of conditions that were unknown, or not elucidated, at the time the earlier volumes appeared. The Indian Health Service is pleased to make this volume available to students and researchers. We trust that it will assist those interested in the health of American Indians and Alaska Natives. We wish godspeed to all who join us in the worthwhile goal of raising the health of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest possible level. The health of mankind everywhere can never be satisfactorily addressed until this important goal is achieved. vere t .Rhoades, M.D. Assistant Surgeon General Director BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HEALTH ISSUES AFFECTING NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS, ESKIMOS, AND ALEUTS: 1950-1988 PREFACE Purpose The purpose of this Bibliography is to help health professionals and others in finding quick references on health and related subjects of America Indians and Alaska Natives. It will be especially helpful for health professionals and researchers studying health and diseases of Native Americans in the United States and Canada. Format The Catagorization format was drawn mainly from the Disease Index of the International classification of diseases. There are 5 chapters dealing with Major health catagories viz: A. Social & Cross Cultural Aspects of Health and Disease B. Health, Health Education & Health Delivery C. Genetics and Metabolism D. Infectious Diseases E. Non-Infectious/Chronic Diseases Every major subject is given a subheading, whereas the smaller or less published subjects are grouped together under General or Miscellaneous. The citations were catagorized primarily on the basis of title alone since articles or abstracts were not always available. Errors of judgement may have occurred in catagorizing some articles. There is also an extensive author index. Inclusions and Omissions This bibliography lists articles published in medical and health related journals of the United States and Canada. Articles on South American Indians and those written in foreign languages have been excluded.

MULINSKI AND KARL J. REINHARD Mummification was not intentional for most North American prehistoric cultures. Natural mummification occurred in the dry areas ofNorth America, where mummies have been recovered from rock shelters, caves, and over­ hangs. In these places, corpses desiccated and spontaneously mummified. In North America, mummies are recovered from four main regions: the south­ ern and southwestern United States, the Aleutian Islands, and the Ozark Mountains ofArkansas.

Abstract Hernandez, Sarah Raquel (Ph.D., English) Toward a Dakota Literary Tradition: Examining Dakota Literature through the Lens of Critical Nationalism Thesis Directed by Professor Penelope Kelsey Dakota literature is often regarded as an extinct and thus irrelevant oral storytelling tradition by EuroAmerican, and at times, Dakota people. This dissertation disputes this dominant view and instead argues that the Dakota oral storytelling tradition is not extinct, but rather has been reimagined in a more modern form as print literature. In this dissertation, I reconstruct a genealogy of the Dakota literary tradition that focuses primarily (but not exclusively) upon the literary history of the Santee Dakota from 1836 to present by analyzing archival documents – Dakota orthographies, Dakota mythologies, and personal and professional correspondences – to better understand how this tradition has evolved from an oral to a written form.

    Myth and Model. the Pattern of Migration, Settlement, and Reclamation of Land in Central Mexico and Oaxaca

    Myth and Model. The Pattern of Migration, Settlement, and Reclamation of Land in Central Mexico and Oaxaca Viola König Ethnologisches Museum – Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Berlin, Germany [email protected] Abstract: A comparison of the documentation in the pre-Hispanic and early colonial pic- torials and written texts from Central Mexico, Oaxaca and in between, shows parallels and a specic model for the settlement and the legitimation of land ownership. Migration from a mythic place of origin is followed by choice of the new homeland, which is ocially conrmed by the act of inauguration, i.e. a New Fire ceremony. Population growth leads to either the abandonment of a village or exodus of smaller groups, thus starting a new migration. e same procedure begins. e Mixtecs started as early as in the Classic period to migrate to Teotihuacan and later to Mexico Tenochtitlan as immigrant workers. ey were the rst to leave their Mixtec home- land in the 1970ies traveling to the USA and Canada. Today, Mixtec communities can be found in Manhattan and all over California. Keywords: migration; settlement; land ownership; Mixtec codices; pre-Hispanic and early colonial periods. Resumen: Una comparación de la documentación en los textos pictóricos y escritos pre- hispánicos y coloniales tempranos del centro de México, Oaxaca y las regiones intermedias, muestra paralelos y revela un modelo especíco para los procesos de asentamiento y la legi- timación de la propiedad de la tierra. La migración desde un lugar de origen mítico es seguida por la elección de un nuevo lugar de asentamiento, conrmada por un acto de inauguración, es decir, la ceremonia del Fuego Nuevo.

Senior Theses, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 2013. Trinity College Digital Repository, https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses/350 The telling of the Navajo creation myth begins with the appearance of the “The People” from the three underworlds and into this, the “Glittering World”, through a magic reed. Unlike human beings, “The People” were animals and masked spirits. Then came the appearance of the first man, Altse Hastiin, from the Dark World created in the east through the meeting of the white and black clouds. “The young man who walks in the darkness, may it be made as offering to him, may it be made as offering to him.” Then, Alse Asdzaa, the first woman arrives from the Dark World, made by the meeting of the yellow and blue clouds in the west. The people from the three underworlds met in the first house and began the arranging of the world. For the Navajo, this myth marks the beginning of time as they understand it and explains how the world is perceived and even lays the groundwork for ritual.

    Protecting the Navajo People Through Tribal Regulation of Research by Doug Brugge and Mariam Missaghian

    Protecting the Navajo People through tribal regulation of research By Doug Brugge and Mariam Missaghian Corresponding author: Doug Brugge, PhD, MS; Assistant Professor Department of Family Medicine and Community Health Tufts University School of Medicine 136 Harrison Ave.; Boston, MA 02111 Voice: (617) 636-0326 Fax: (617) 636-4017 [email protected] 1 Scope This essay explores the process and issues related to conducting research that involves the Navajo People. We begin by painting with a rather broad brush the more general context of research ethics and Native Americans, move to the particular case of the Navajos, explore in some detail the process established by the tribe to regulate research and end by considering how this applies to a couple of case examples, including this paper itself. Background Due to past inhumane actions involving research participants, the Federal government has adopted regulations on ethical standards for research. As part of these regulations, Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) were created to review research and to ensure that the rights and welfare of research participants are protected (13). Institutions that conduct research and receive federal funding, such as universities and medical facilities, are required to establish IRBs, which are sometimes given other names, but serve similar functions (13). These federal regulations reflect a society that values individual autonomy and rights. Yet this society is composed of many diverse ethnic groups that may place a higher or equal value on their family, clan or other identity group than on individuals. If individual rights are protected in research, then should cultures or communities also be protected in research? Are communities living entities with rights? Many believe that communities may be affected by research in different ways than individuals (1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9).
