Ames This chapter takes a broad view of the historical ecology of Native American societies, examining the ways that native peoples have both responded to and altered their environments and landscapes throughout history, and the ways that an eco- logical focus on the history of native landscapes can give us a fresh approach to modern reservation environmental, demographic, and health issues. The author suggestively anticipates a political ecology of Native America that, rooted in historical ecology, would examine power relations mediated by environmental and economic forces. 2 Historical Demography Russell Thornton The native population of North America prior to European contact was 7 million. This chapter traces the post-contact disease and ecological processes by which this figure was reduced to less than 400,000 by 1900 (a reduction of 94 percent). It also examines the processes by which the native North American population has re- bounded to 3.5 million at present. The chapter also describes intermarriage with non-Indians and formal certification of native identity in the present. Part II: Political, Social, and Economic Organization 3 Women and Men Martha C. Knack This chapter examines relations between women and men in native societies from before contact to the present, surveying the major theories on the subject. Particular Biolsi/Companion to the Anthropology of American Indians Final Proof 17.9.2004 5:51pm page xi SYNOPSIS OF CONTENTS xi attention is given to how social structure (for example, matrilineal and matrilocal organization), economic organization (for example, who controls the distribution of goods), politics (for example, processes of group decision-making), and religion affect the degree of equality between the sexes. Also considered is the variety of effects that the larger Euro-American context has had historically and in the present upon the relative status of native women and men. 4 Politics Loretta Fowler This chapter considers the history of anthropological knowledge of Native American political organization, or how leaders are chosen, decisions made, disputes settled, and other matters regarding social power addressed. While we have some knowledge of pre-reservation politics, most political anthropology of Native Americans concerns the reservation period and is concerned with how to understand both continuity and change in native politics. How, for example, are native political systems reproduced and/or transformed in the face of such external forces as the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, and the Indian Self-Determination Act of 1875? 5 Tribal or Native Law Bruce Granville Miller Indigenous law concerned itself not so much with ‘‘crime’’ (which may have no direct translation in native languages or societies) but with addressing disputes between individuals and groups, with repairing ‘‘tears in the social fabric.’’ The struggle of contemporary native societies in the legal realm is to construct tribal codes and judicial systems that blend ancient and contemporary concepts and prac- tices in workable arrangements that allow a judicious balancing of community inter- ests. Concepts of – and struggles over – native tradition, the spirituality of law, peacemaker courts, separation of powers, and the neutrality or social embeddedness of tribal judges, are all part of the complex process of making tribal justice in the present. 6 Culture and Reservation Economies Kathleen Pickering There is no question that contemporary Indian people live in an economic world subject to global forces that reshaped their communities in fundamental ways, and ‘‘incorporated’’ them into capitalism. But it is also fruitful to examine how tribal communities have

My committee members, Pat Culbert, John Olsen and Owen Davis, who took the time to read and comment on this work Vernon Scarborough and Tom Guderjan also commented on this dissertation and provided additional support during the work. Vernon Scarborough invited me to northwestern Belize to assist in his work examining water management practices at La Milpa. An offer that ultimately led to the current dissertation. Without Tom Guderjan’s offer to work at Blue Creek in 1996, it is unlikely that I would ever have completed my dissertation, and it is possible that I might no longer be in archaeology, a decision I would have deeply regretted.

  • Franz Boas's Legacy of “Useful Knowledge”: the APS Archives And
    Franz Boas’s Legacy of “Useful Knowledge”: The APS Archives and the Future of Americanist Anthropology1 REGNA DARNELL Distinguished University Professor of Anthropology University of Western Ontario t is a pleasure and privilege, though also somewhat intimidating, to address the assembled membership of the American Philosophical ISociety. Like the august founders under whose portraits we assemble, Members come to hear their peers share the results of their inquiries across the full range of the sciences and arenas of public affairs to which they have contributed “useful knowledge.” Prior to the profes- sionalization of science in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the boundaries between disciplines were far less significant than they are today. Those who were not experts in particular topics could rest assured that their peers were capable of assessing both the state of knowledge in each other’s fields and the implications for society. Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington were all polymaths, covering what we now separate into several kinds of science, humanities, and social science in ways that crosscut one another and illustrate the permeability of disciplinary boundaries. The study of the American Indian is a piece of that multidisciplinary heri- tage that constituted the APS and continues to characterize its public persona. The Founding Members of the Society all had direct and seminal experience with the Indians and with the conflict between their traditional ways of life and the infringing world of settler colonialism. On the one hand, they felt justified in exploiting Native resources, as surveyors, treaty negotiators, and land speculators. On the other hand, the Indians represented the uniqueness of the Americas, of the New World that defined itself apart from the decadence of old Europe.

  • Anthropological Regionalism at the American Museum of Natural History, 1895–1945
    52 Ira Jacknis: ‘America Is Our Field’: Anthropological Regionalism at the American Museum of Natural History, 1895–1945 ‘America Is Our Field’: Anthropological Regionalism at the American Museum of Natural History, 1895–1945 *Ira Jacknis Abstract This article outlines the regional interests and emphases in anthropological collection, research, and display at the American Museum of Natural History, during the first half of the twentieth century. While all parts of the world were eventually represented in the museum’s collections, they came from radically different sources at different times, and for different reasons. Despite his identity as an Americanist, Franz Boas demonstrated a much more ambitious interest in world-wide collecting, especially in East Asia. During the post-Boasian years, after 1905, the Anthropology Department largely continued an Americanist emphasis, but increasingly the museum’s administration encouraged extensive collecting and exhibition for the Old World cultures. For the most part, these collections and exhibits diverged from anthropological concerns, expressing imperialist messages, biological documentation, or artistic display. In thus constituting the ‘stuff’ of an anthropology museum, one can trace the transvaluation of objects, the importance of networks, institutional competition, and the role of disciplinary definitions. Keywords: museum, anthropology, collecting, exhibition, culture areas, American Museum of Natural History Almost by definition, the great metropolitan natural history museums were founded on a problematic relationship to a distant ‘field.’ Wandering through their halls, the visitor is confronted by cultures that are usually far away in space and time.1 As they were developed in the nineteenth century, these natural history museums, parallel to the art museums (Duncan and Wallach 1980), adopted Enlightenment schemes of universal survey.
