Murray, Ph.D. American Indian college students have many motivating factors for pursuing a higher education. One common theme among American Indian college students is the motivation to give back to their tribal nation. This study explores the expectations of the Apsáalooke (Crow) Nation for college students returning home. An Indigenous Research Methodology with Apsáalooke epistemology is used. Along with tribal practices and protocols, situational analysis was adapted to align with the methodology. The findings include four major elements informing Apsáalooke expectations of returning students: culture and identity, the college student experience, the realities of returning home, and expectations of Apsáalooke students who have obtained a college education. Keywords: Indigenous Research Methodologies, Indigenous methodology, tribal epistemologies, tribal practices and protocols, Apsáalooke, Native American, American Indian, Native American Student, higher education, tribal nation building ii GAINING UNDERSTANDING FROM APSÁALOOKE Acknowledgments Words cannot fully express the appreciation I have for the many people who have provided me with encouragement and support throughout my educational journey. I write this to express my admiration of and sincere appreciation to the wonderful people in my life who have helped me achieve this milestone in my educational path. Your encouragement and support throughout my educational journey held me up—and I thank you for that from the bottom of my heart. Over the years, the many prayers that were offered up by my grandparents and parents on my behalf carried me through. Many others offered encouraging words prayers, stories, shared laughter and even a few tears, and have made all the difference in the world for me. This doctorate has truly taken a village of the highest order. I would like to begin my appreciation by acknowledging Akbaatatdia (He Who Made Everything). Without him, this achievement would not have been possible. I am also thankful for the wishes and prayers of the Greasy Mouth and Ties in the Bundle clans that watch over me and I offer my prayer of gratitude in turn to them. To my family goes my abundant gratitude for your support and understanding throughout these years of my educational pursuits. Thank you for you the patience you showed me after a late night of studying that resulted in a tardy at school for you, too many nights of ordering pizza and eating fast food and being away from our family. A special thank you to my husband, Augustine John Hill, for his endless love and encouragement. Our many conversations about research, education, and culture kept me focused and inspired me to make a difference. His dedication to our family and to me as a student motivated me to keep working, especially at times when I felt overwhelmed. He continued to push me and encourage me to keep working towards my goals. iii GAINING UNDERSTANDING FROM APSÁALOOKE The gratitude I have for our children is beyond measure: Alyssa, Sienna, Thea, Trajan and grandson Aiden. Without them, none of this would be worth it! I am grateful to our daughters who made the biggest sacrifice by moving back to Missoula and away from our family in Pryor. They always knew when I needed a kiss on the forehead, a hug, or an encouraging text message. They told me, “Good job, Momma!” more times than I can remember. I am lucky and humbled to be their mom. I can only hope that my struggles also instilled in them a desire to seek to attain their own dreams. Deciding who comes first is one of the hardest things about expressing my gratitude and appreciation to the many people who helped me. My parents deserve the deepest thanks for holding me up and guiding me through life by their unconditional love. My mother taught me so much about being a parent and an educator; through our visiting about teaching and writing, each time I learned new things about why education matters and felt inspired to apply myself to the challenges before me. My dad’s frequent phone calls and messages of encouragement never went unappreciated. The cultural knowledge and lessons he passed on to me from my grandparents gave me confidence and helped me see why the intergenerational approach I took in my research mattered so much. My sisters Athena, Tessa, Nicole, and DyAnna. Angels, all of them--Athena, who always cheers me on and encourages me, Tessa who always steps in and helps me with the girls, and Nicole who gave me that initial push to apply to the doctoral program and followed it up with constant support throughout the program. DyAnna who is always willing to help me with the Apsáalooke language or anything else I need help with. I am thankful for her encouraging words and the knowledge she shares with me. All of my sisters checked on me, prayed for me, and laughed with me. There is nothing that compares to our bond, and I am fortunate to have them by iv GAINING UNDERSTANDING FROM APSÁALOOKE my side. Likewise, I thank my brother Ronald who watches over our parents while I chase my goals. His teasing keeps me humble--I am lucky to have such an amazing little brother. My Grandma Deaux who provided me with stories of her family and gave me the gift of knowing my Matzdorf family roots. To my friends. I extend heartfelt thanks for living what true friendship means. Thanks to Dr. Gretchen McCaffery who is more than a writing tutor; she is a writing therapist. The 685 crew, our cohort created space for reflection and learning and I couldn’t have made this journey without them. To Dr. Tim McCleary for sharing cultural knowledge, his Facebook posts kept me grounded in my research. My dear friend and cousin Salisha Old Bull, her friendship, encouragement, and love of coffee warms my heart. My sisterhood: Rachel Smith, Wilena Old Person, Lily Gervais, Shane Sangrey, Twila Old Coyote, and Dr. Ann Douglas without them I may have taken everything too seriously and never laughed. They made sure I never felt alone and always held me up when I thought I couldn’t stand anymore. I am so lucky to have their friendships. To my University of Montana family. The Native American Studies Department, especially Dr. Kathryn Shanley, Dr. Dave Beck, Dr. Richmond Clow, and Dr. Heather Cahoon for your mentorship and teaching me so much about Native American history and policy. Hats off to Dr. Anna-Margaret Goldman, Helen Russette, Dr. Ke Wu, Amy Kinch and the rest of the Willow Team, Eliot and the Social Justice Warriors research team, and Dr. Annie Belcourt for all of the conversations about research, teaching, and social justice. To the Indigenous Research Center at Salish Kootenai College, thank you for providing me with Indigenous Research Methodology (IRM) resources, funding for my research and a visiting scholar position. v GAINING UNDERSTANDING FROM APSÁALOOKE My eternal gratitude goes to my dedicated and professionally committed dissertation committee: Dr. Kirsten Murray, Dissertation Chair for her willingness to learn and embrace IRM and her ability to instill confidence in me and show patience with me as I developed my research skills and her unwavering dedication to me throughout this process. Dr. John Sommers-Flanagan who has been there since day one of my graduate journey and always had great advice; he taught me almost everything I know about counseling. Dr. Veronica Johnson’s warm smile and outstanding teaching philosophy taught me so much by example. Dr. Maegan Rides At The Door who busted the door open, and encouraged me to follow her through it. Last and key to the Indigenous community focus I pursued, Dr. Janine Pease has shown so much dedication to Indian education and the Apsáalooke people. My mentor, colleague, and friend, I learned how to be an educator in part because of her teachings and example. And finally, I cannot forget those who have gone on to the Other Side Camp.

  • Climate Change, the Crow Tribe and Indigenous Knowledge
    Research for Resilience: Climate Change, the Crow Tribe and Indigenous Knowledge: Part 1 By Linda Moon Stumpff1 Photography by Aaron Teasdale2 Abstract. This case illustrates how resilience can emerge from the interaction between different knowledge systems that make ecosystems and communities more resilient while facing the negative effects of climate change. Long-term cultural knowledge about adaptation and restoration is often missing from agency viewpoints that would lead to a protective shield of resilience for both environments and cultures. A fictional character, Veronica Stevens, a Native scientist who serves in dual capacities as a researcher with forestry experience and as a tribal relationship professional, narrates the case. She faces the challenge of opening up the communication channels for Indigenous knowledge to become a major component of agency planning and practice through the development of a framework that incorporates some of the knowledge and experience of the Crow Nation whose historic lands form the template for understanding ecological practices and principles. Part I chronicles the challenges an indigenous researcher faces when trying to communicate indigenous knowledge research into the understanding of government policy and land management. 1 Copyright 2020 Linda Moon Stumpff PhD (San Carlos Apache) is an emerita faculty in the graduate programs for Tribal Governance, which she founded, and for Environmental Studies. She completed doctoral work in Natural Resource Policy at USC and served as Director of the Master of Public Administration Program while developing the Tribal Governance track.

  • Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science
    Two Forms of Iroquois Cousin Terminology and Their Functions Downey D. Raibourn, Indiana University This paper deals with two forms of Iroquois terminology. The Iro- quois type of kinship system is generally regarded as a relatively stable type. Nevertheless, it is a type which is transitional to a mature or more highly developed form of kinship organization. The two forms of Iroquois terminology referred to are represented among two dialectically closely related Wintun societies in central California. One society has what may be called the normal or relatively stable Iroquois terminology. The other society also possesses Iroquois organization but utilizes kinship terms which makes it possible for the kinship system to change readily into either of two other types of kinship systems. Iroquois cousin terminology is one of the six possible types of kinship systems or ways by which cousins can be classified in any society. Although the Iroquois type of cousin terminology is present among the Iroquois tribes, it is also found among many other societies throughout the world. Thus the name of a particular type of cousin terminology is derived from societies which were studied first, most intensively studied, or from areas over which a type is widely distributed. The type names are those defined by Murdock (1949) which are Eskimo, Hawaiian, Iroquois, Sudanese, Omaha and Crow. The presence of a specific type of terminology among widely separated societies does not imply historic connection or association of any kind. Present day American society classifies its kindred in accordance with principles which place it within the Eskimo type of kinship system.

This report is the culmination of the evaluation, which included site visits ano field hearings. The largely undocumented knowledge base of Native American experience must be recorded and preserved if it is not to be lost. Ten major challenges were identified on topics such as funding support, training and technical assistance, tribal library holdings, cooperative activities, state and local partnerships, federal policy, model programs, museum and archival services, adult and family literacy programs, and newer information technology. The report contains detailed descriptions of Commission activities and incorporates a "Summary Report" (also published separately), as well as the "Long Range Action Plan" containing strategies for high quality information services to Native American peoples.

Poewe and Peter R. Lovell INTRODUCTION In this paper we examine the differential implications of kinship practices and, specifically, Crow kinship terminology for two societies, one African, the other Oceanic. The comparison is undertaken for the following reason. Keesing (1970:765) suggested that the gulf between the way he conceptualized the Kwaio system and the way Fortes (1969) and Goody (1973) conceptualized the African systems may well be far wider 'than the gulf between what the Kwaio and Africans do.
