Der Begriff einer philosophischen Ethnologie "We are all sprung from a woman, although we are unlike in many things. (...) You are as you were made, and as you were made you can remain. We are just as we were made by the Great Spirit, and you can not change us (...) I do not believe that the Great Spirit Chief gave one kind of men the right to tell another kind of men what they must do."1 Chief Joseph Eine neue Kulturanthropologie weiß, daß die Wissenschaft vom Menschen von ihrer Geburt her ein Kind des Kolonialismus und Imperialismus ist2 (...) Sie weiß, daß es schwer, vielen Anthropologen vielleicht unmöglich ist, sich von Vorurteilen zu reinigen, ebenfalls, daß es in den geistigen Welten der kleinen Kulturen tatsächlich existierende Beziehungen und Erscheinungen gibt, die sich einer wissenschaftlichen Analyse verschliessen (...)"3 Karl H. Schlesier "'Help me, hurt me, Sociology' - 'Feed me, eat me, Anthropology'."4 Bruce Nauman Was ist der Mensch? Was ist seine Stellung im Kosmos? Dies sind die Fragen, die dieser 1 Council for Indian Education 1983:13. Chief Joseph war ein Häuptling der Wallamwatkin, einer Untergruppe der Chutepalu, die von Frankokanadiern den Namen Nez Percés erhielten. Sein eigentlicher, indianischer Name - er war von Missionaren erzogen worden - bedeutet "Thunder- traveling-over-the-mountains". Die zitierte wörtliche Rede richtete er 1877 an General Howard, der ihm befehlen wollte, aus dem angestammten Lebensraum in ein Reservat umzusiedeln; der Konflikt veranlaßte ihn dazu, seine Bibel zu zerreißen. Seine autobiographische Erzählung beginnt mit den Worten: "My friends, I have been asked to show you my heart. (...) I want the white people to understand my people. (...) What I have to say will come from my heart, and I will speak with a straight tongue. Ah-cum-kin-i-ma-me-hut (the Great Spirit) is looking at me, and will hear me." (Ebd.: 5,12-14; Capps 1979:165-168) Joseph starb 1904 im Colville-Reservat bei Washington, wo man ihn gefangenhielt, nach Angaben des Agenturarztes "an gebrochenem Herzen". (Dee Brown 1977:321, Capps 1979:183) Von den in Lapwai (Idaho) lebenden Nez Perce, eine Art indianische Enklave im eigenen Reservat, wird Chief Joseph bis heute in höchsten Ehren gehalten. 2 Siehe Leclerc, 1976, der die Möglichkeit erwägt, die (Kultur-)Anthropologie werde, da sie kaum geeignet sei, die Weltgesellschaft zu begreifen, und da sie von der Dritten Welt und ihren Nachbardisziplinen in Frage gestellt wird, "vielleicht der Soziologie, der Geschichte oder der Politischen Ökonomie ihren Platz überlassen müssen - möglicherweise aber auch einer neuen philosophischen Reiseliteratur". (Ebd.:9) Eine "neue" Ethnologie, die sich an ihre Ursprünge wiedererinnert, kam ihm nicht in den Sinn. Das in jüngerer Zeit assertorisch angekündigte Ende der Ethnologie verrät ein nicht dialektisches Denken bzw. ein sich polemisch äußerndes Wunschdenken. Nicht einmal ein Ende der anthropophagischen Phase der Völkerkundemuseen ist abzusehen. 3 1980:34. 4 Installation "Anthro/Socio", Kassel 1991, zit.n. Becker 1992:44. 1 Arbeit als letzte Fragen zugrundeliegen und in den Versuch münden, Ethnologie oder Kulturanthropologie auf eine andere, "neue" Weise zu betreiben, als es bisher in der Regel der Fall war. Warum eine "philosophische Ethnologie"? Philosophisch wäre sie insofern, als sie sich an die Philosophie, die Mutter der Wissenschaften, rückbindet und versucht, aus den weltanschaulichen Äußerungen der menschlichen Gruppen, die gegenwärtig als Ethnien bezeichnet werden, ihre Weltbilder oder Lebensphilosophien (deren Inhalt bisher hauptsächlich der Kategorie "Religion" zugeordnet worden ist) ins Licht zu rücken und dem westlichen Denken verständlich zu machen? Doch genügen nicht bereits die Ethnoscience, die Kognitive Anthropologie und andere Disziplinen zumindest terminologisch diesem Anspruch? Die Antwort muß nein lauten. Jene beiden grundlegenden Fragen stellt sich die philosophische Denkart, die die Philosophische Anthropologie hervorgebracht hat, und diese Denkart oder dieser Zugang ist der Völkerkunde m.E. (was wir in bezug auf die bisherige Rezeption der Kultur der Lakota-Indianer beispielhaft sehen werden) fremd geblieben; sie fragen nach dem Letzten in bezug auf den Menschen, nach seinem Sein und der Beziehung zwischen seinem Sein und seinem Dasein. Die zweite der beiden Fragen, die man auch mit der Konjunktion "und" verbinden könnte, reflektiert im besonderen auf die Weise des Existierens, die die ethische genannt wird, bzw. auf die (implizit angenommene) ethische Potentialität des (behaupteten) Menschentiers. Doch sie lautet nicht nur: Was soll seine Stellung im Kosmos sein?, weil sie allgemein nach dem (metaphysischen) Sinn des Seins des Menschen fragt. Die moderne Philosophische Anthropologie, die mit Schelers unvollendetem Text "Die Stellung des Menschen im Kosmos" sozusagen

  • The Life & Holiness of Nicholas Black Elk, Our Brother in Jesus Christ
    The Life & Holiness of Nicholas Black Elk, Our Brother in Jesus Christ By Mark G. Thiel, Marquette University Archives, with narration by Ben Black Bear, Jr., And technological assistance by Eric Kowalik, 2015 Video: The Life and Holiness of Nicholas Black Elk, Our Brother in Jesus Christ 1. Nicholas Black Elk lived a life of holiness during the 19th and 20th centuries. He was a Lakota Sioux holy man and lay convert in South Dakota and he became widely known through the books Black Elk Speaks and Nicholas Black Elk: Medicine Man, Mystic, Missionary. Baptized “Nicholas,” after the saint whose generous giving resonated with Lakota traditions, he committed his life to better knowing the Great Spirit and teaching Jesus’ way of peace, love, and harmony towards all creation. In so doing he seamlessly lived Christian and Native ways without contradiction and led over 400 Dakota-Lakota people to baptism in Jesus Christ. 1 2. So why canonize Nicholas Black Elk and why now? By baptism, all Christians are called to become saints, and since its first days, the church has canonized outstanding Christians it identifies as intercessors of prayer and models of virtue. But north of Mexico, such efforts were delayed until 1884 when the United States bishops felt sufficiently organized. Then they nominated three 17th century candidates from New York State – Mohawk-Algonquin convert Kateri Tekakwitha and Jesuit Father Isaac Jogues, both on the left, and other Jesuit companions added later. As martyrs, the causes of the Jesuits concluded first and they were canonized in 1930. Kateri’s cause then followed and ended with her canonization in 2012.

  • 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.

Beck im Internet: www.beck.de ISBN 978 3 423 36104 0 dtv »Wenn man vorhat, auf die Welt zu kommen, muß man sich vergewissern, daß man weiß und männlich geboren wird. Es sind gar nicht so sehr die großen dramatischen Dinge, die uns zu Boden drücken, es genügt schon die Tatsache, daß man Indianerin ist und versucht, an unserer Lebensart und Sprache festzuhalten, während man von einer fremden, stärkeren Kultur umgeben ist.« Geboren 1955 in einem Indianerreservat, in äu- ßerst desolate und ärmliche Verhältnisse, gehört Mary Crow Dog heute zu der Generation indianischer Amerikaner, die sich in der American Indian Movement (AIM) organisiert haben und ihre Rechte einfordern. Ihre außergewöhnliche Lebensge- schichte, die sie in lakonischem Ton, mitunter voll Zorn, voll Leidenschaft erzählt, aber auch mit Poesie und Humor, liest sich wie eine Skandalchronik jüngster amerikanischer Ge- schichte: Was sie vom Leben in South Dakota berichtet, von Polizeiwillkür und Behördenschikanen gegen Indianer, von of- fenem Rassismus, ist erschreckend. Sie zeigt aber auch eine junge Frau, die sich als Rebellin von Kind auf behauptet hat und schließlich in der AIM zu eigener Identität findet. Mary Crow Dog, geboren 1955 in South Dakota, gehört mit ihrem Mann Leonard Crow Dog zu den führenden Mitgliedern der American Indian Movement. Richard Erdoes, dessen Familie dem österreichisch-ungarischen Kaisserreich entstammt, studierte in Berlin bei Käthe Kollwitz und floh vor den Nazis nach New York.

My sisters and I were so used to packing up and hitting the road in the family station wagon (later a minivan), that our childhood trips blur together. Oftentimes we visited our paternal grandparents in Sidney, Nebraska, or our maternal grandparents in Lincoln, Nebraska. But on special occasions we would take lengthy road trips that ended with destinations in the Appalachian Mountains, the Gulf of Mexico, Yellowstone National Park, and Myrtle Beach. As an ―East River‖ South Dakotan, driving six hours west to visit the Black Hills was hardly as exciting as going to the beach.

The Crow were directly to the west, Mandan & Hidatsa to the north, & Ponca, Omaha, & Pawnee to the south. Across more than 750,000 square miles, the heartland of the continent was a vast sea of prairie grass, interrupted here & there by mountainous terrain & winding, forested river bottoms. The Lakota were ancient enemies of the Fox & the Anishinabe. Seasonal warfare was constant in the area west of the Great Lakes, however the Lakota would travel to the Arkansas’ hot springs to gather with people of several other tribes to hunt, forage, & enjoy healing waters. Even when people were at war, individuals of opposing tribes came together at the hot springs in peace & safety.

Tallgrass prairie once covered parts of 14 states in the region now known as the Midwest. Before the arrival of European settlers, native people set fires in late summer & fall to provide habitat for animals such as bison, elk, & deer, to reduce danger of wildfire, to increase ease of travel, & also to increase visibility & safety.

  • 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.
