We promised to have a detailed response to the specific questions, and the enclosure to this letter, prepared principally by the Department of Justice, constitutes that response.

  • Westerns…All'italiana
    Issue #70 Featuring: TURN I’ll KILL YOU, THE FAR SIDE OF JERICHO, Spaghetti Western Poster Art, Spaghetti Western Film Locations in the U.S.A., Tim Lucas interview, DVD reviews WAI! #70 The Swingin’ Doors Welcome to another on-line edition of Westerns…All’Italiana! kicking off 2008. Several things are happening for the fanzine. We have found a host or I should say two hosts for the zine. Jamie Edwards and his Drive-In Connection are hosting the zine for most of our U.S. readers (www.thedriveinconnection.com) and Sebastian Haselbeck is hosting it at his Spaghetti Westerns Database for the European readers (www.spaghetti- western.net). Our own Kim August is working on a new website (here’s her current blog site http://gunsmudblood.blogspot.com/ ) that will archive all editions of the zine starting with issue #1. This of course will take quite a while to complete with Kim still in college. Thankfully she’s very young as she’ll be working on this project until her retirement 60 years from now. Anyway you can visit these sites and read or download your copy of the fanzine whenever you feel the urge. Several new DVD and CD releases have been issued since the last edition of WAI! and co-editor Lee Broughton has covered the DVDs as always. The CDs will be featured on the last page of each issue so you will be made aware of what is available. We have completed several interviews of interest in recent months. One with author Tim Lucas, who has just recently released his huge volume on Mario Bava, appears in this issue.

There is often confusion regarding terminology related to the study of the history and culture of the indigenous people of the North American continent. For the purposes of this handbook, the term “Native American” refers to the original human inhabitants (and their descendents) of this continent at the time of first recorded European contact (1492), including the contigu- ous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, Central America, and the Caribbean Islands.

  • Where the Salmon Run: the Life and Legacy of Billy Frank Jr
    LEGACY PROJECT A century-old feud over tribal fishing ignited brawls along Northwest rivers in the 1960s. Roughed up, belittled, and handcuffed on the banks of the Nisqually River, Billy Frank Jr. emerged as one of the most influential Indians in modern history. Inspired by his father and his heritage, the elder united rivals and survived personal trials in his long career to protect salmon and restore the environment.

  • Remapping the World: Vine Deloria, Jr. and the Ends of Settler Sovereignty
    Remapping the World: Vine Deloria, Jr. and the Ends of Settler Sovereignty A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY David Myer Temin IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Joan Tronto October 2016 © David Temin 2016 i Acknowledgements Perhaps the strangest part of acknowledging others for their part in your dissertation is the knowledge that no thanks could possibly be enough. At Minnesota, I count myself lucky to have worked with professors and fellow graduate students alike who encouraged me to explore ideas, take intellectual risks, and keep an eye on the political stakes of any project I might pursue. That is why I could do a project like this one and still feel emboldened that I had something important and worthwhile to say. To begin, my advisor, Joan Tronto, deserves special thanks. Joan was supportive and generous at every turn, always assuring me that the project was coming together even when I barely could see ahead through the thicket to a clearing. Joan went above and beyond in reading countless drafts, always cheerfully commenting or commiserating and getting me to focus on power and responsibility in whatever debate I had found myself wading into. Joan is a model of intellectual charity and rigor, and I will be attempting to emulate her uncanny ability to cut through the morass of complicated debates for the rest of my academic life. Other committee members also provided crucial support: Nancy Luxon, too, read an endless supply of drafts and memos. She has taught me more about writing and crafting arguments than anyone in my academic career, which has benefited the shape of the dissertation in so many ways.

  • Privilege Narratives and the American Indian Movement
    RED POWER, WHITE DISCOURSE: PRIVILEGE NARRATIVES AND THE AMERICAN INDIAN MOVEMENT, 1973-2015 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by David W. Everson ------------------------------------ Rory McVeigh, Director Graduate Program in Sociology Notre Dame, Indiana July 2017 © Copyright 2017 David W. Everson RED POWER, WHITE DISCOURSE: PRIVILEGE NARRATIVES AND THE AMERICAN INDIAN MOVEMENT, 1973-2015 Abstract by David W. Everson This dissertation investigates the evolution of the American Indian Movement’s (AIM) discursive field from 1973 to 2015 in order to unveil how dominant cultural narratives toward the movement, and American Indians more broadly, have served as an impediment to the alteration of the unequal white-Native racial order. Theoretically, I outline a model of “discursive field shift” to aid in the understanding of how dominant group bystanders discursively reconstruct social movements over time. I lend empirical support to the theoretical model by drawing on an innovative longitudinal research design that matches bystander AIM narratives from the 1970s to 2014/2015. By comparing discourse toward the movement from the same individuals over an approximately forty- year period, I provide evidence of a discursive field shift in the contexts of AIM’s most pronounced activism. In such contexts, AIM’s threat to the “privilege narratives,” or the stories that legitimate extant social inequalities, led to the temporal modification of the movement’s discursive field. This discursive field shift is argued to be an outcome of a sociocultural process whereby disrupted narratives of privilege encouraged the dominant culture’s privileging of narrative in order to more effectively delegitimize AIM grievances.

  • Playing Hippies and Indians: Acts of Cultural Colonization in the Theatre of the American Counterculture
    PLAYING HIPPIES AND INDIANS: ACTS OF CULTURAL COLONIZATION IN THE THEATRE OF THE AMERICAN COUNTERCULTURE Miriam Hahn A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2014 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Sheri Wells-Jensen, Graduate Faculty Representative Eileen Cherry-Chandler Scott Magelssen © 2014 Miriam Hahn All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor In this dissertation, I examine the appropriation of Native American cultures and histories in the theatre of the American counterculture of the 1960s and seventies, using the Living Theatre’s Paradise Now, the street theatricals and broadsides of the San Francisco Diggers, and James Rado and Gerome Ragni’s Hair: The American Tribal- Love Rock Musical as my primary case studies. Defining themselves by points of difference from mainstream America and its traditional social and cultural values, counterculturalists often attempted to align themselves with Native Americans in order to express an imagined sense of shared otherness. Representations of Natives on countercultural stages, however, were frequently steeped in stereotype, and they often depicted Native cultures inaccurately, elided significant tribal differences, and relegated Native identity almost wholly to the past, a practice that was particularly problematic in light of concurrent Native rights movements that were actively engaged in bringing national attention to the contemporary issues and injustices Native Americans faced on a daily basis. In my study, I analyze the impulses that might have led counterculturalists to appropriate Native culture during this period, highlighting some of the ways in which such appropriations played out in Paradise Now and Hair, as well as on the streets of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district.
