That’s more than 2,300 Fellows and Rebuilders, and more than 1,700 grantees—a roll call that inspires us every day. One thing nearly everyone shared with us last year was their desire to stay connected to the Foundation, to follow the continued progress of the remarkable individuals and FEATURES organizations that we’ve intersected with over the years and to pass on some of the lessons they’ve learned.

    NAhtAsuutaaka’ (White Shield) News Journal November 2016 Volume 3 Issue 44 Dorreen Yellow Bird, Editor [email protected]/701-421-2876 Headstart Children Come to Nishu Elder Center for Halloween Headstart and Halloween Masquerade photos by Karen Lonefight and Dorreen Yellow Bird Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and scarcity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. Over time, Halloween evolved into a community- based event characterized by child-friendly activities such as trick-or-treating. And those who seem to enjoy the Holiday most are the young ones like the Headstart groups who went to the Elders Center (at invitation) for tricks or treats . treats Zane Howling Wolf, Ardith Mulluck, Miley White Bear are first in line for goodies mostly. More on page 4 at Nishu Lodge. 1 From the desk of Fred Fox, Councilman, East Segment, White Shield, ND 58540 The winter season is fast approaching, days are getting colder, and the leaves have turned to fall colors. We have had some deaths in our community and around the reservation. I would like to send my condolences to these families. Our prayers are with you and we are here to dry your tears. The projects in White Shield are moving along rapidly and should be done before winter sets in. The new school building is almost completely enclosed so that work can begin on the inside. The project by the store is the new RV park/shower rooms, laundry mat, and store expansion.

    Spirals of Transformation: Turtle Island Indigenous Social Movements and Literatures Laura M De Vos A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Dian Million, Chair Habiba Ibrahim, Chair Eva Cherniavsky José Antonio Lucero Program authorized to offer Degree: English ©Copyright 2020 Laura M De Vos University of Washington Abstract Spirals of Transformation: Turtle Island Indigenous Social Movements and Literatures Laura M De Vos Chairs of the Supervisory Committee: Dian Million Department of American Indian Studies Habiba Ibrahim Department of English Spirals of Transformation analyzes the embodied knowledges visible in Indigenous social movements and literatures. It demonstrates how a heuristic of spiralic temporality helps us see relationships and purposes the settler temporal structure aims to make not just invisible, but unthinkable. “Spiralic temporality” refers to an Indigenous experience of time that is informed by a people’s particular relationships to the seasonal cycles on their lands, and which acknowledges the present generations’ responsibilities to the ancestors and those not yet born. The four chapters discuss the Pacific Northwest Fish Wars, several generations of Native women activism, Idle No More, and the No Dakota Access Pipeline movement respectively. Through a discussion of literatures from the same place, the heuristic helps make visible how the place- based values, which the movements I discuss are fighting for, are both as old as time and adapted to the current moment. In this way, spiralic temporality offers a different conceptualization than what the hegemonic settler temporality is capable of.

Newman Note from the Faculty Advisor The essays published in this journal were written by undergraduate students at the University of Florida prior to the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic, which disrupted so much of normal life in 2020. The sudden transition to online/remote instruction in March, the psychological uncertainties and economic struggles that resulted from shutdowns and stay-at- home orders in April, and the physical dislocations that occurred during the spring semester, as students were forced out of dormitories or had to relinquish off-campus housing, interrupted a post-production process that would normally have resulted in this issue appearing in May 2020. But as this issue goes to press in the winter of 2020-21, it is possible to see the value of this scholarship in ways that would not have been evident had Covid-19 not changed how we live and work. First and foremost, is the quality and depth of research, undertaken at a time when students had physical access to libraries, archives and traditionally published books and could take advantage of regular face-to-face meetings with faculty, librarians, peers, and mentors.

Abstract This thesis journeys through a series of events to develop a concept of “imperceptibility” as a mode of resistance to contemporary sexual surveillance. The events I examine include biometric recognition of gender and race at airport security checkpoints, the heteropatriarchal colonial surveillance of Indigenous peoples at Standing Rock, various protest actions, and the political potentials of glitch art. Exploring their unexpected points of connection, my goal is to bring into view acts of resistance against sexual surveillance that already operate below and above the threshold of everyday perception.

    HOW WE GO HOME Voices from Indigenous North America EDITED BY SARA SINCLAIR Haymarket Books Chicago, Illinois HowWeGoHome_text_12.indd 3 8/7/20 1:02 PM EDITOR’S NOTE In the beginning of each narrative you will find key details about the interviews and the narrators, including the designations they prefer as Indigenous community members. Self-identity for an In- digenous person is a very personal choice: some narrators use their tribe names, others their nations or bands, and these are sometimes used interchangeably.
