The Sintergenerational significance of oral history through origin legends, spiritual- ity, life-sustaining lessons and much more is contained in the dynamic nature of the words and history being shared. This storytelling is no less important to- day. The life lessons of Indigenous Peoples involved at the international level is not only significant for future generations of Indigenous Peoples, nations and communities but for all of humankind. For this reason, many Indigenous Elders are telling their firsthand stories of international encounters in the 20th and 21st centuries, which still reflect only a nanosecond in the long history of Indigenous Peoples – this is only the tip of a fast-melting iceberg. This volume emerges from a workshop held in Oslo in March 2012, hosted by the Norwegian Center for Human Rights and the University of Oslo. The work- shop was timed to coincide with the 40 years that have passed since the initiation of the UN report by José Martínez Cobo on discrimination against Indigenous Peoples and the 30 since from the creation of the UN Working Group on Indige- nous Populations (WGIP).

  • “To Awaken a Nation Asleep”: Community Building Amid Radical Activism, and the Indian Alcatraz Occupation
    “To awaken a nation asleep”: Community Building Amid Radical Activism, and the Indian Alcatraz Occupation by R. Zöe Costanzo 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 English Language and Literature Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 R. Zöe Costanzo ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines events leading to and during the Indian occupation of Alcatraz Island of 1969-1971. While scholars have used the occupation as an example of the changing trajectory of American Indian activism in the late 20th century, especially in regards to the American Indian Movement and Red Power Movement, the event is rarely examined on its own terms. This thesis seeks to fill that gap, focusing on concrete community building initiatives both on and around the island between 1964 and 1971. In doing so, it argues that Alcatraz was not only a symbolic space of Indian freedom, but also a physical place where Indians’ lives were changed, and Indians’ futures were informed. The thesis brings to bear significant archival research from the National Parks Service Records and Collections, public collections in San Francisco, CA, where many occupiers have preserved their occupation accounts and photographs. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many have lent their voices to this project throughout its duration. First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr. Franny Nudelman, who introduced and patiently guided me through the genre of narrative history. It was Dr. Nudelman who encouraged the overambitious and ever- expanding project I proposed, and who then provided the knowledge and guidance necessary for its realization.

Subaltern Resistance and Wounded Knee, 1973 Nathan Sell American Indian resistance to Euro-American expansionism has long been considered under the purview of “American history.” This subsumption of indigenous perspectives within the limits and boundaries of an “American history” represents a, if not the, dominant raison d'être for considering indigenous histories in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As such, indigenous history under this perspective is potentially seen as useful only in that it holds explanatory value in the context of an American history. No single event in the past four-hundred plus years shatters that aforementioned account

  • What Sort of Indian Will Show the Way? Colonization, Mediation, and Interpretation in the Sun Dance Contact Zone
    WHAT SORT OF INDIAN WILL SHOW THE WAY? COLONIZATION, MEDIATION, AND INTERPRETATION IN THE SUN DANCE CONTACT ZONE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sandra Garner, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Lindsay Jones, Advisor Maurice Stevens Richard Shiels Copyright by Sandra Garner 2010 ABSTRACT This research project focuses on the Sun Dance, an Indigenous ritual particularly associated with Siouan people, as a site of cultural expression where multiple, often conflicting concerns, compete for hegemonic dominance. Since European contact the Sun Dance has been variously practiced, suppressed, reclaimed, revitalized, and transformed. It has also evoked strong sentiments both from those that sought to eradicate its practices as well as those who have sought its continuance. In spite of a period of intense colonial repression, during the last three decades the Siouan form of the Sun Dance has become one of the most widely practiced religious rituals from Indigenous North America and the number of Sun Dances held and the numbers of people participating has grown significantly. How has the Sun Dance ritual endured in spite of a lengthy history of repression? What is it about the Sun Dance that evokes such powerful sentiments? And, how do we account for the growth of the Sun Dance. I argue that the current growth and practice of the Sun Dance must be considered within the context of colonialism; a central focus of this dissertation. I identify the complex and messy ways that individuals mediate the inequitable power relations that shape colonialist interactions, as well as the way they interpret these social spaces.

Interrogating Colonial Legacies: Jeffrey Gibson’s Indigenous Futurism Mariah Ribeiro, Art History Faculty Mentor: Ken Allan, PhD Faculty Content Editor: Ken Allan, PhD Student Editor: Michael Pazen 119 Abstract In recent decades, post-colonial theory has allowed for scholars to re-contextualize American history, challenging the mythic narrative of the founding and settlement of the United States. This awareness of settler colonialism’s effect on every aspect of society calls for widespread accountability towards dismantling colonial legacies within the Americas. Such a shift in understanding has inherent consequences for the arts, raising the question: how do visual arts and their institutions function within the settler-colonial context of NorthAmerica? As the subjects of ongoing settler-colonialism, Native American artists are uniquely positioned to participate in the dismantlement of the colonial legacy of art museums. Accordingly, this essay examines how contemporary indigenous artists lead the post-colonial interrogation of the art museum by challenging Western art conventions, the colonial legacy of North America, and the assumptions of non-Native viewers through their art.

  • Missed Opportunities Reflections on the Nmai
    Missed Opportunities Reflections on the nmai amy lonetree The Columbian Legacy, now 510 years and counting, is by many ac- counts genocidal. The atrocities committed by Columbus, those under his command, and those who followed him are legion. In the name of God or science, in the pursuit of gold or glory, and in the services of imperialism or manifest destiny, the bodies and beliefs of the Indian peoples of the Western Hemisphere, along with their possessions and their lands, were plundered and debased. And a substantial portion of the American Indian collections hoarded in museums is made up of that tainted bounty. Craig Howe, “The Morality of Exhibiting Indians” Museums are indeed very painful sites for Native peoples as they are intimately tied to the colonization process. The study of the relationship between Indigenous peoples and museums—both the tragic stories of the past as well as examples of successful Native activism and leader- ship within the museum profession that are happening today—have preoccupied my professional life both inside and outside the academy. The museum world has changed significantly from the days when they were considered “ivory towers of exclusivity” to today when Indigenous people are actively involved in making museums more open and com- munity-relevant sites.1 We can certainly see this new development reflected in exhibitions— the “most prominent and public of all museum offerings.” 2 Native Americans have witnessed a shift from curator-controlled presentations 632 Lonetree: Missed Opportunities NN3885.indb3885.indb 663232 77/21/06/21/06 110:27:060:27:06 AAMM of the American Indian past to a more inclusive or collaborative process with Indian people actively involved in determining exhibition content.

PINKINS (Under the Direction of Alan Downs) ABSTRACT Red Power activism in the United States and Canada during the 1940s and 1950s is primarily localized, consisting of several tribes or particular regions of tribes simultaneously, but separately protesting local, state, or federal legislation that threatened aspects of their tribal sovereignty. The occupation of Alcatraz Island in 1969 by a group called Indians of All Tribes marked the beginning of pan-Indian activism, inspiring diverse, indigenous efforts to bring about social change. The localism of native activism before the occupation of Alcatraz also extended to intratribal divisions which is illustrated by two separate activist events in the Mohawk communities of Kahnawake and Akwesasne.

  • Marxism and the American Indian Sovereignty Movement
    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in Cold War History on 28 Aug 2019, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/14682745.2019.1645126. For journal: Cold War History ‘Red’ Nations: Marxists and the Radical Native American Sovereignty Movement of the Late Cold War 2 Abstract This article constructs a history of the mutual personal engagement of Native American sovereignty activists and Marxist entities in the 1970s and 1980s. Native American diplomacy attempted to reconfigure the geography of American Indian sovereignty into a fully independent Native America in alliance with revolutionary Marxism and its ‘red’ nations around the globe. Marxist-Native solidarity in Europe was enabled by older continental European fantasies about Indians, and sanctioned by some Eastern Bloc governments. However, as the case of Nicaragua shows, Indian – Marxist alliances could not be sustained because of the difficulties of reconciling U.S. patriotic anti-Communism, the Marxist revolutionary project, and the indigenous rights struggle. Key words: Native Americans, sovereignty, solidarity, Marxists, Cold War, diplomacy. Word count: 9995 3 Introduction Just two months after the famous 1973 siege of Wounded Knee, the United Nations Secretary-General’s office received a package from the National Amerindianist American Redman’s Party. The packet spelled out a program for the full decolonization of American Indian reservations into an independent country called “Greater Ameridia Patria” - “[a]n Indian people and government ruled by the doctrine of socialism as practiced by our ancestry.”1 While the Redman’s Party never resurfaced, their initiative was a manifestation of a distinct strand of Native American sovereignty activism that aimed to achieve full independence from the United States.

  • Decolonization, Indigenous Internationalism, and the World Council of Indigenous Peoples
    Decolonization, Indigenous Internationalism, and the World Council of Indigenous Peoples by Jonathan Crossen A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2014 ©Jonathan Crossen 2014 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation investigates the history of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples (WCIP) and the broader movement of Indigenous internationalism. It argues that Indigenous internationalists were inspired by the process of decolonization, and used its logic to establish a new political identity. The foundation of the WCIP helped create a network of Indigenous peoples that expressed international solidarity between historically unconnected communities. The international efforts of Indigenous activists were encouraged both by personal experiences of international travel and post-secondary education, and by the general growth of international non-governmental organizations during the late twentieth century. The growing importance of international non-governmental organizations helped the WCIP secure funding from international developmental aid agencies, a factor which pushed the organization to increase its focus on apolitical economic development relative to the anti-colonial objectives which inspired its foundation. This dissertation examines how Indigenous international organizations became embroiled in the Cold War conflict in Latin America, and the difficulties this situation posed for both the WCIP and the International Indian Treaty Council.
