Plains Indians
Your Name Keyboarding II xx Period Mr. Behling Current Date Plains Indians The American Plains Indians are among the best known of all Native Americans. These Indians played a significant role in shaping the history of the West. Some of the more noteworthy Plains Indians were Big Foot, Black Kettle, Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Spotted Tail. Big Foot Big Foot (?1825-1890) was also known as Spotted Elk. Born in the northern Great Plains, he eventually became a Minneconjou Teton Sioux chief. He was part of a tribal delegation that traveled to Washington, D. C., and worked to establish schools throughout the Sioux Territory. He was one of those massacred at Wounded Knee in December 1890 (Bowman, 1995, 63). Black Kettle Black Kettle (?1803-1868) was born near the Black Hills in present-day South Dakota. He was recognized as a Southern Cheyenne peace chief for his efforts to bring peace to the region. However, his attempts at accommodation were not successful, and his band was massacred at Sand Creek in 1864. Even though he continued to seek peace, he was killed with the remainder of his tribe in the Washita Valley of Oklahoma in 1868 (Bowman, 1995, 67). Crazy Horse Crazy Horse (?1842-1877) was also born near the Black Hills. His father was a medicine man; his mother was the sister of Spotted Tail. He was recognized as a skilled hunter and fighter. Crazy Horse believed he was immune from battle injury and took part in all the major Sioux battles to protect the Black Hills against white intrusion. -

Wovoka Remained with the Wilsons for Several Years Before Returning to His Reservation
Wovoka remained with the Wilsons for several years before returning to his reservation. In 1888 he fell ill and in a state of fever he received in a dream what was to be the basis of his Messiah Craze. (2). On January ist 1889, the Paiutes near Walker Lake, Nevada, witnessed an eclipse, and being sun worshippers, they regarded it as an attack on their god. To scare away the evll spirit they believed was the cause, they set up a great clamour, and became very excited. It was at this traumatic time that Wovoka revealed what he had dreamed; that he died and was taken up to heaven where he met the Great Spirit, and saw all the long dead Indians happy and forever young enjoying all their sports and earthly pastimes. He was told to return to earth with these instructions for his people: they must be good and love one another, have no quarreling and llve in peace with the whites; that they must work, and not lle or steal; that they must put away all the old practices that savoured of war; that if they faithfully obeyed his instructions they could at last be reunited with their friends in the other world, where there would be no more death or sickness or old age ..." To bring about all of this, the Indians were to perform a dance, and in his dream, Wovoka was instructed by the Great Spirit to teach the Indians the Ghost Dance~ as it became known. The Indians were to Join hands in a circle and shuffle to the left; food and water was prohibited, and the ceremony was to last for five days. -
African Journal of Criminology and Justice Studies: AJCJS, Vol.4, No.1
African Journal of Criminology and Justice Studies: AJCJS, Vol.8, Special Issue 1: Indigenous Perspectives and Counter Colonial Criminology November 2014 ISSN 1554-3897 Indigenous Feminists Are Too Sexy for Your Heteropatriarchal Settler Colonialism Andrea Smith University of California Abstract Within the creation myths of the United States, narratives portray Native peoples as hypersexualized and sexually desiring white men and women. Native men in captivity narratives are portrayed as wanting to rape white women and Native women such as Pocahontas are constituted as desiring the love and sexual attention of white men at the expense of her Native community. In either of these accounts of settler colonialism, Native men and women’s sexualities are read as out of control and unable to conform to white heteropatriarchy. Many Native peoples respond to these images by desexualizing our communities and conforming to heteronormativity in an attempt to avoid the violence of settler-colonialism. I interrogate these images and provide sex-positive alternatives for Native nation building as an important means of decolonizing Native America. Keywords Indigenous feminists, heteropatriarchy, settler colonialism, anti-violence. Introduction . Sexy futures for Native feminisms. Chris Finley (2012) Chris Finley signals a new direction emerging out of the Indigenous anti-violence movement in Canada and the United States. This strand of the anti-violence organizing and scholarship builds on the work of previous indigenous anti-violence advocates who have centered gender violence as central to anti-colonial struggle. However, as the issue of violence against Indigenous women gains increasing state recognition, this strand has focused on building indigenous autonomous responses to violence that are not state-centered. -
Native American Literature
ENGL 5220 Nicolas Witschi CRN 15378 Sprau 722 / 387-2604 Thursday 4:00 – 6:20 office hours: Wednesday 12:00 – 2:00 Brown 3002 . and by appointment e-mail: [email protected] Native American Literature Over the course of the last four decades or so, literature by indigenous writers has undergone a series of dramatic and always interesting changes. From assertions of sovereign identity and engagements with entrenched cultural stereotypes to interventions in academic and critical methodologies, the word-based art of novelists, dramatists, critics, and poets such as Sherman Alexie, Louise Erdrich, Louis Owens, N. Scott Momaday, Leslie Marmon Silko, Simon Ortiz, and Thomas King, among many others, has proven vital to our understanding of North American culture as a whole. In this course we will examine a cross-section of recent and exemplary texts from this wide-reaching literary movement, paying particular attention to the formal, thematic, and critical innovations being offered in response to questions of both personal and collective identity. This course will be conducted seminar-style, which means that everyone is expected to contribute significantly to discussion and analysis. TEXTS: The following texts are available at the WMU Bookstore: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie (Spokane) The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse, by Louise Erdrich (Anishinaabe) Bloodlines: Odyssey of a Native Daughter, by Janet Campbell Hale (Coeur d'Alene) The Light People, by Gordon D.

Sexual Violence Against the Outsiders of Society in The Round House
Sexual Violence Against the Outsiders of Society in The Round House, Bitter in the Mouth, and The Color Purple by Toni Lee December, 2020 Director of Thesis: Dr. Richard Taylor Major Department: English This thesis will examine why the outsiders to society are more susceptible to violence, particularly sexual violence. America has been led predominantly by white males, white males who have oppressed individuals who do not fit into the white male majority for years. It is my argument that when women of color are born, they are automatically labeled as outsiders due to their race and gender. An outsider is simply one who does not fit into a particular group, the group in this case being white males. While some white women experience sexual violence, their socioeconomic status and race often allows them to receive justice, especially if their perpetrator is a man of color. I will also examine other factors that lead to sexual violence, particularly rape for these outsiders, such as social class and age. This thesis analyzes three primary texts: the 2010 novel Bitter in the Mouth by Monique Truong, the 2012 novel The Round House by Louise Erdrich, and the 1982 novel The Color Purple by Alice Walker. The women in these novels, Linda, Geraldine, and Celie, respectively are sexually assaulted. It is my argument that women of color’s race/ethnicity make them more susceptible to violence, both physical and sexual, from others. These texts showcase how women are labelled as outsiders because of their races and their gender, creating a dual outsider status in the white male dominated America; thus, making them more vulnerable to sexual assault and less likely to receive justice. -
