Mackosi’kwe’s Baskets: Marking Relationships Abstract On August 1, 1938, before leaving the Maniwaki reserve in Quebec, Canada, anthropologist Frank G. Speck paid a visit to his old friends, Michel Buckshot and his wife Angelique, better known as Mackosi’kwe (also spelled Meshkosikwe, meaning “Beaver Meadow Woman”). Mackosi’kwe was skilled in pyroscapulimancy, a technique for divining future prospects in hunting and travel by scorching the shoulder blades of Indigenous deer, caribou, beaver, and other animals in a fire, and then reading the cracks and marks. In Speck’s case, she started with a deer scapula, followed by that of a hare, to predict an unexpected break in the return trip, but an otherwise safe journey home.

  • Forging Partnerships Between Scholars, Archives, and Indigenous Communities*
    Digital Knowledge Sharing: Forging Partnerships between Scholars, Archives, and Indigenous Communities* Timothy B. Powell Abstract: The article reviews a digital repatriation project carried out by the Center for Native American and Indigenous Research at the American Philosophical Society over the course of eight years (2008-present). The project focused on building digital archives in four indigenous communities: Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Penobscot Nation, Tuscarora Nation, and Ojibwe communities in both the United States and Canada. The article features insights from traditional knowledge keepers who helped to create a new system of co- stewarding the APS’ indigenous archival materials and recounts how the APS established protocols for cultural sensitivity. A new model of community-based scholarship is proposed to create a more equal and respectful relationship between indigenous communities, scholars, and archives. [Keywords: History of Archives; Digital Repatriation; Digital Knowledge Sharing; Community-Based Scholarship; Cherokee; Tuscarora; Penobscot; Anishinnaabe; Ojibwe. Keywords in italics are derived from the American Folklore Society Ethnographic Thesaurus, a standard nomenclature for the ethnographic disciplines.] We are living in a remarkable historical moment when the combination of digital technology and cultural revitalization movements in Indian Country have created an unprecedented opportunity to rethink the stewardship of Native American archival collections.

  • Springtime in N'daki Menan, the Homeland of the Teme-Augama
    Springtime in n’Daki Menan, the Homeland of the Teme-Augama Anishnabai: Babies, Cradleboards and Community Wrapping by Alexandra Kahsenniio Nahwegahbow A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art History Carleton University Ottawa (Odawa, Unceded Algonquin Territory), Ontario © 2013 Alexandra Kahsenniio Nahwegahbow ii Abstract This is a study of how the tikinaagan (cradleboard) as an object related to pre-colonial Indigenous childcare can be metaphorically investigated as a model for traditional social frameworks that illustrate the central place and role of babies and young people within Anishinaabe families and communities. Through this, I approach the ornamentation and arrangement of a small cradleboard collected by Frank Speck in the early-twentieth century during his visit to the territory of n'Daki Menan in northeastern Ontario. By exploring the historical context in which this cradleboard was created, used, and collected I address the gaps in the early literature where the Indigenous voice and value placed on these objects were disregarded or overlooked. I argue that cradleboards, through their stylistic design and contextual power, have the ability to communicate traditional knowledge and values of parenting, family and community across generations to present day. iii Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to offer my warmest gratitude to June Twain, Mary Katt, and Virginia McKenzie for taking the time to sit with me and share their stories. I am so grateful for what I learned from each of them and for the ways in which they helped this thesis shapeshift and re-form into what it now is.

  • Frank Speck and "The Old Mohegan Indian Stone Cutter"
    ETHNOHISTORY 32(2): I55-163 SIMMONS FRANK SPECK AND "THE OLD MOHEGAN INDIAN STONE CUTTER" William S. Simmons University of California, Berkeley Abstract Frank Speck told a story to a Wampanoag Indian of an encounter he had with a Mohegan Indian ghost. The author interprets this story as serving two purposes. First, it created a bond between Speck and the people among whom he did research. Second, it affirmed Indian supernatural belief in a context where the scrutiny by an outside observer could possibly threaten these beliefs. Outsiders to a community can threaten its culture simply by doubting it. For example, the earliest European settlers in the Northeast refused to believe that they could see the spirits that appeared to Indians in ritual and consequently the Indians reported that they too could not see their own spirits when Europeans were present. One passage by Edward Winslow regarding the Wampanoag near Plymouth, Massachusetts illustrates the point: "They have told me I should see the devil [guardian spirit] at those times come to the party; but I assured myself and them of the contrary, which so proved; yea, themselves have confessed they never saw him when any of us were present" (Winslow 1910 [1624]: 344).1 This paper concerns the opposite case, where corroborative testimony by an outsider validates a group's confidence in its symbols. Such testimony is particularly effective if the outsider first doubts the efficacy of cultural representations and then is won over to becoming a believer. The confessions of religious converts often describe their passage from doubt, through surrender, to revelation, and acceptance.

  • THE ROLE of GLADYS Tantaquidgefjn
    THE ROLE OF GLADYS TANTAQUIDGEfJN MELISSA FAWCETr University of Connecticut The identity of the Mohegan people has been preserved as well as challenged by interaction with the non-Indian. This paradox has been sustained by three outstanding tribal leaders born in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, respectively. When a splinter-group of the Pequot nation first formed the Mohegan tribe in the 1620's, the rebels were an insecure minor­ ity within both the Indian and non-Indian world.l Forced to ally with the Puritans for survival, the Mohegan chief, Uncas, was nonetheless able to limit cultural contamination through his pragmatism and manipulative diplomacy. Mter U ncas' death in 1683, the devastating effects of accul­ turation combined with a power vacuum created a nearly dis­ astrous cultural and demographic degeneration. This trend was reversed in the mid 1700s by Samsom Occum. As a congre­ gational minister and skilled Indian woodsman, he was able to establish schools for his people with curriculum that balanced traditional and modern skills. Having survived the ravages of contact and acculturation by the creative implementation of non-lndian military and educa­ tional skills, the Mohegan had yet to face an even greater chal­ lenge. Mter the reservation was eliminated in 1861, cultural identity became increasingly difficult to maintain. By the late 1 This view of Mohegan origins is popular within the tribe itself. For the currently accepted scholarly interpretation see Neal Salisbury (1982). 136 MELISSA FAWCETT 19th century tribal elders were often too apathetic, too fearful or too skeptical of their offspring to pass on their knowledge.
