  • “Carried in the Arms of Standing Waves:” the Transmotional Aesthetics of Nora Marks Dauenhauer1
    Transmotion Vol 1, No 2 (2015) “Carried in the Arms of Standing Waves:” The Transmotional Aesthetics of Nora Marks Dauenhauer1 BILLY J. STRATTON In October 2012 Nora Marks Dauenhauer was selected for a two-year term as Alaska State Writer Laureate in recognition of her tireless efforts in preserving Tlingit language and culture, as well as her creative contributions to the state’s literary heritage. A widely anthologized author of stories, plays and poetry, Dauenhauer has published two books, The Droning Shaman (1988) and Life Woven With Song (2000). Despite these contributions to the ever-growing body of native American literary discourse her work has been overlooked by scholars of indigenous/native literature.2 The purpose of the present study is to bring attention to Dauenhauer’s significant efforts in promoting Tlingit peoplehood and cultural survivance through her writing, which also offers a unique example of transpacific discourse through its emphasis on sites of dynamic symmetry between Tlingit and Japanese Zen aesthetics. While Dauenhauer’s poesis is firmly grounded in Tlingit knowledge and experience, her creative work is also notable for the way it negotiates Tlingit cultural adaptation in response to colonial oppression and societal disruption through the inclusion of references to modern practices and technologies framed within an adaptive socio-historical context. Through literary interventions on topics such as land loss, environmental issues, and the social and political status of Tlingit people within the dominant Euro-American culture, as well as poems about specific family members, Dauenhauer merges the individual and the communal to highlight what the White Earth Nation of Anishinaabeg novelist, poet and philosopher, Gerald Vizenor, conceives as native cultural survivance.3 She demonstrates her commitment to “documenting Tlingit language and oral tradition” in her role as co-editor, along with her husband, Richard, of the acclaimed series: Classics of Tlingit Oral Literature (47).

J;-'rom his Scotch father he inherited a strong intellect and a tenac­ ityof opinion, which was chastened and refined by his more sympa­ thetic English mother, while from both he received a reverence and faith in a higher power, which in times of .dcepest gloom never wavered. His edumtion was principally in the academy of his native city. There he earned the reputation of a scholar, not only in the English branches, but also in the Greek and Latin languages, of which he was especially fond. To further satisfy his desire for knowledge, he taught school in Pontiac, after finishing at the academy. His parcnts had long cherished the idea of having thcir only son join the ministry, and for this purpose sent him at the agc of eighteen to Princeton.

  • Abstract Self-Expressed Conditions, Expectations
    ABSTRACT SELF-EXPRESSED CONDITIONS, EXPECTATIONS, ASSUMPTIONS, AND EXPERIENCES OF THE ROSEBUD SIOUX IN THE WINNER, SOUTH DAKOTA, AREA THAT ARE OFFERED AS REASONS INDIVIDUALS OR HOUSEHOLDS DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN LOCAL CHURCHES by Ross Slade Reinhiller This dissertation repeats the survey used by the founders of the Willow Creek Community Church (South Barrington, Illinois) and adapted by Robert Gail Stoddard of Rainelle, West Virginia. The survey was conducted in the townships of Ideal and Lamro and the city of Winner, South Dakota, among the Rosebud Sioux Tribal members ascertaining self-expressed reasons for nonchurch participation. This study interviewed 103 people in ninety-seven households. This survey identified different conditions and expectations among the participants according to both age and gender. Among the elderly, chronic health concerns were the major reason for nonparticipation in local churches. The primary reason for nonparticipation among the fifty to sixty-nine-year-olds was the issue of prejudice. This prejudice is both historic and current and results in disillusionment and disaffectedness among the participants in the survey. Primary conditions and expectations expressed by forty to forty-nine-year-olds were the same as the fifty to sixty-nine-year- olds with the additional condition of addiction expressed. Within this age group, men identified racial identity as a major issue for nonparticipation in local churches. Thirty to thirty-nine year olds continued the themes of addiction and identified peer pressure or group acceptance as a reason for nonparticipation. Twenty to twenty-nine-year-olds expressed group identification but also added the enjoyment found in a culture based on partying.

The (Dawes) General Allotment Act of1887 was meant to fulfill the United States Government policy ofallotting individual parcels of Indian reservation lands in an effort to break up communal societies,Jorcing tribes to move towards the white man's ideal of civilized culture. Three decades earlier, Article 6 ofthe Treaty of1854 allowed for the survey and allotting of the Omaha's northeastern Nebraska reservation, placing the Omaha Nation at the leading edge offederal policy a generation before the Dawes Act.

  • WLA Conference 2013 COVER
    Mural of Queen Califia and her Amazons, Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco – Maynard Dixon and Frank Von Sloun The name of California derives from the legend of Califia, the queen of an island inhabited by dark- skinned Amazons in a 1521 novel by Garci Ordóñez de Montalvo, Las Sergas de Esplandián. Califia has been depicted as the Spirit of California, and she often figures in the myth of California's origin, symbolizing an untamed and bountiful land prior to European settlement. California has been calling to the world ever since, as land of promise, dreams and abundance, but also often as a land of harsh reality. The 48th annual conference of the Western Literature Association welcomes you to Berkeley, California, on the marina looking out to the San Francisco Bay. This is a place as rich in history and myth as Queen Califia herself.
