Hawkeye Huey Was Here edited by kelly vaughn photographs by hawkeye huey AARON HUEY WAS HERE At age 5, Hawkeye Huey has more Instagram followers than the entire staff of Arizona Highways combined. It’s no sur- prise, either. As the son of National Geographic photographer Aaron Huey and a National Geographic Creative contribu- tor himself, Hawkeye travels the country with his parents, shooting photos of the people and places he encounters with his Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 camera. Here, we talk to his dad about what it’s like to take family road trips — one of which AARON HUEY AARON included Northern Arizona — with his tiny protégé. 32 OCTOBER 2015 www.arizonahighways.com 33 AARON HUEY “Hawkeye” seems a fitting name hands and see what happens” A bit crooked; centered.

  • Curing the Tribal Disenrollment Epidemic: in Search of a Remedy
    CURING THE TRIBAL DISENROLLMENT EPIDEMIC: IN SEARCH OF A REMEDY Gabriel S. Galanda and Ryan D. Dreveskracht* This Article provides a comprehensive analysis of tribal membership, and the divestment thereof—commonly known as “disenrollment.” Chiefly caused by the proliferation of Indian gaming revenue distributions to tribal members over the last 25 years, the rate of tribal disenrollment has spiked to epidemic proportions. There is not an adequate remedy to stem the crisis or redress related Indian civil rights violations. This Article attempts to fill that gap. In Part I, we detail the origins of tribal membership, concluding that the present practice of disenrollment is, for the most part, a relic of the federal government’s Indian assimilation and termination policies of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In Part II, we use empirical disenrollment case studies over the last 100 years to show those federal policies at work during that span, and thus how disenrollment operates in ways that are antithetical to tribal sovereignty and self-determination. Those case studies highlight the close correlation between federally prescribed distributions of tribal governmental assets and monies to tribal members on a per-capita basis, and tribal governmental mass disenrollment of tribal members. In Part III, we set forth various proposed solutions to curing the tribal disenrollment epidemic, in hope of spurring discussion and policymaking about potential remedies at the various levels of federal and tribal government. Our goal is to find a cure, before it is too late. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ..................................................................................................... 385 A.

  • DATE: September 29, 2020 for IMMEDIATE RELEASE AMPLIFIER
    DATE: September 29, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AMPLIFIER AND J. PAUL GETTY MUSEUM PARTNER TO INSPIRE TEENS NATIONWIDE THROUGH ‘IN PURSUIT OF___’ OPEN CALL FOR PHOTOGRAPHY LOS ANGELES - The J. Paul Getty Museum and nonprofit design lab Amplifier are issuing a joint open call for art from students ages 13-19 around the theme of “In Pursuit of__.” Amplifier is best known for the record-breaking 2017 “We The People” public art campaign with Shepard Fairey. “In Pursuit of__” is the 2020 theme of the Getty’s award-winning Unshuttered photography program, which is a platform and community for teens to share their passion for photography and social justice advocacy. “In Pursuit of ______” is inspired by the phrase “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” from the Declaration of Independence, and expands on the fundamental concepts of that historic document. The top 10 art submissions will be included in an exciting Amplifier projection series in cities nationwide and distributed via the Getty Museum’s social media and education, digital, and exhibition platforms. The prompt is an invitation to consider, inspire, and share. It listens and suggests action. It encourages teens to reflect on their own lives, consider the state of the world, and inspire others through their unique artistic expressions. “Getty Unshuttered is a photographic community where everyone can use art to become a force to be reckoned with. No one is better at signaling powerful artistic messages than Amplifier through their signature global campaigns,” said Keishia Gu,

Today we are celebrating one of the most significant achievements of your life — graduation from Colorado Christian University. You’ve studied hard and God has blessed your efforts. This is a very, very important milestone for you and your family. On behalf of the trustees, faculty, and staff of CCU, I want to express our admiration for all you have achieved. We are honored to have been a part of your experience at CCU and we wish God’s richest blessings for you in the future. We look forward with enthusiasm to hearing of your future achievements. Before you go, let me offer a few words of parting advice: • Take some time right now to think about how you want to invest the next five to ten years of your life. Don’t drift. Prayerfully, set specific goals. It’s been said that if you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time. • Be a servant with what you know. Knowledge and degrees can make you proud — don’t let them. Instead, be thankful for the opportunity you’ve had and use it to serve others. • Keep learning. As Mark Twain said, “Most men die at 27, we just bury them at 72.” Don’t let your education stop with your graduation today. Remember — leaders are readers. • Strive for excellence in everything you do. Work hard, give back, choose your friends wisely, and stay close to your family forever. • Most importantly, love and honor Jesus Christ and walk as closely with Him as you can.

  • The Legacy of Injustices Against Native Americans
    RECOMMIT TO RACIAL JUSTICE page 30 CHAPTER 4 The Legacy of Injustices Against Native Americans A Nation Built on Stolen Land As we examine racism and recommit to racial justice this Lent, it is vital that we address the attempted systematic destruction of the Native peoples of North America by coloniz- ers, both ancient and modern. The United States was built on a foundation of coloniza- tion, racism, and genocide. This is an original sin of our nation, but it is not just a sin of our past. Today, compared to the national population, Native Americans have significantly lower median incomes, lower homeownership, increasing health disparities, and twice the level of poverty. These outcomes are the effects of a system of white supremacy. The Native experience is also one of rich tradition, faith, and resistance. Before colonizers landed on this continent, Native Americans organized themselves into tribal nations and powerful confederacies. The white reaction to the cultural and political power of Native Americans has been genocide legitimized by the creation of legal authority and institu- tional control. This system of white supremacy continues in the United States to this day. From the first interactions with Native Americans to the modern day, white colonizers in North America have worked toward one thing: theft. Theft of land, theft of natural resources, theft of culture and identity. Racial justice demands that we recognize and remedy these thefts. This resource cannot comprehensively recount the entire history of Native Americans, but we hope that this will be a starting point to begin learning about the peoples our nation has attempted to make invisible.

Kroskrity, Chair In the face of global language contraction, unlikely allies are emerging to support language maintenance and revitalization. This dissertation demonstrates that the interest of many speakers in revitalizing the indigenous Mexican language Highland Oaxaca Chontal is connected to their faith as Jehovah's Witnesses, a new religious movement rooted in the global North. At the time of research, Witness religious meetings were the only high-status context – and the only public context – in which Chontal was consistently used. Moreover, new indexical connections between language and religion position knowledge of the language as a moral imperative rather than a matter of individual choice. That is, local Jehovah's Witnesses have begun using more Chontal as speaking this language has come to index devoutness. ii This religion is highly centralized and standardized: Witnesses obeyed instructions to use Chontal because these instructions bore the authority of the Watch Tower Society institution. This dissertation proposes the concept of the globalizing textual community, which synthesizes understandings of community from throughout social science literature, in order to explain how religious identity can supersede national, ethnic, and linguistic identities.

  • Band of Brothers Also in This Issue: N Passing the Torch: Fr
    MIDWEST CHICAGO-DETROIT AND WISCONSIN PROVINCES SUMMER 2016 Band of Brothers Also in This Issue: n Passing the Torch: Fr. Don Doll, SJ, Empowers How Vincent Strand, SJ, and His Emerging Lakota Artists Brothers Found the Priesthood n Jesuit Jubilarians: 50 Years of Wisdom & Grace n Friends in Faith: Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, Remembers Mother Angelica Dear Friends, When Saint Ignatius and his brother Jesuits named their fledgling religious order theCompañía de Jesús, they did not simply announce that their efforts would be directed toward serving Christ. They also signaled the relationship they would have to the world. For Jesuits, the word Compañía — or Society — points to our mission to be companions alongside the people we serve, particularly those in the greatest need. Accompanying others involves sharing in their experiences. As the Chicago-Detroit and Wisconsin Provinces work toward the creation of a new province, we have had many opportunities to walk together, exploring the rich history and traditions within our region and beyond. This spring, we visited Jesuits in Kohima, with whom the Wisconsin Province has had a long and fruitful partnership. We also traveled to El Salvador for a joint meeting between the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States and the Conferencia de Provinciales Jesuitas de América Latina (CPAL). There, we discussed common goals of Jesuits throughout the Americas, while also visiting historic locations, such as the site of Jesuit Fr. Rutilio Grande’s murder. This was a poignant reminder of the tremendous sacrifices many make in witnessing to a faith that does justice for the least among us.
