Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one make a clear distinction between issues such as tribal sovereignty, indigenous rights, and law and justice? How do these topics differ, and can they be separated from, issues such as identity, health, and environment? The answer, of course, lies in the interconnectedness of all aspects of Native American life, culture, religion, and politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What gives artefacts their power and beauty? This ethnographic study of the decorated long yams made by the Nyamikum Abelam in Papua New Guinea examines how these artefacts acquire their specific properties through processes that mobilise and recruit diverse entities, substances and domains. All come together to form the ‘finished product’ that is displayed, representing what could be an indigenous form of non-verbal ‘sociology’. Engaging with several contemporary anthropological topics (material culture, techniques, arts, aesthetics, rituals, botany, cosmology, Melanesian ethnography), the text also discusses in depth the complex position of the study of ‘technology’ within anthropology.

Book excerpt: Everyone who has ever worked for a living can relate to PLANT LIFE. This work of fiction is about the perseverance of a middle-aged 'Yankee' woman trying to survive in the 'south' working in what is considered a man's occupation. Marie Martin’s training in mechanical and plant maintenance should have helped her find a job anywhere. When Three Mile Island reopened after a near meltdown, Marie decide it was time to move to a safer place with the line of dogs she was developing. Marie’s long range goal was to become a writer. An old friend, who now lived in Georgia, encouraged her to move there. Marie had planned to retire in a milder climate; she figured that as long as she was moving anyway, she should make the move south now. Her friend told her everything about the area that she thought Marie would like to hear. However, it was not an accurate representation of the situation. The wages would not be as good as in Pennsylvania and there would not be as many dog shows or lure coursing trials but Marie was willing to live with that for the chance to write. Her friend promised to co-author a book with her. Moving to GA was like stepping back fifty years in time and Marie experienced cultural shock. When her PA home did not sell right away she ran into financial difficulties that seemed only to mount. Inconceivable problems arose at her jobs. Marie’s dream of writing seemed to be getting pushed further and further away. Nevertheless it was an adventurous and exciting time for Marie. She maintained her hobby with the dogs while earning a living and fulfilling other obligations. Marie’s intestinal fortitude helped her through the hard times on her way to realizing her dream.
Download or read book Mark My Words written by Mishuana Goeman and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dominant history would have us believe that colonialism belongs to a previous era that has long come to an end. But as Native people become mobile, reservation lands become overcrowded and the state seeks to enforce means of containment, closing its borders to incoming, often indigenous, immigrants. In Mark My Words, Mishuana Goeman traces settler colonialism as an enduring form of gendered spatial violence, demonstrating how it persists in the contemporary context of neoliberal globalization. The book argues that it is vital to refocus the efforts of Native nations beyond replicating settler models of territory, jurisdiction, and race. Through an examination of twentieth-century Native women’s poetry and prose, Goeman illuminates how these works can serve to remap settler geographies and center Native knowledges. She positions Native women as pivotal to how our nations, both tribal and nontribal, have been imagined and mapped, and how these women play an ongoing role in decolonization. In a strong and lucid voice, Goeman provides close readings of literary texts, including those of E. Pauline Johnson, Esther Belin, Joy Harjo, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Heid Erdrich. In addition, she places these works in the framework of U.S. and Canadian Indian law and policy. Her charting of women’s struggles to define themselves and their communities reveals the significant power in all of our stories.
Download or read book The Supreme Court and Tribal Gaming written by Ralph A. Rossum and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2011-04-27 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians-a small tribe of only 25 members-first opened a high-stakes bingo parlor, the operation was shut down by the State of California as a violation of its gambling laws. It took a Supreme Court decision to overturn the state's action, confirm the autonomy of tribes, and pave the way for other tribes to operate gaming centers throughout America. Ralph Rossum explores the origins, arguments, and impact of California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, the 1987 Supreme Court decision that reasserted the unique federally supported sovereignty of Indian nations, effectively barring individual states from interfering with that sovereignty and opening the door for the explosive growth of Indian casinos over the next two decades. Rossum has crafted an evenhanded overview of the case itself-its origins, how it was argued at every level of the judicial system, and the decision's impact-as he brings to life the essential debates pitting Indian rights against the regulatory powers of the states. He also provides historical grounding for the case through a cogent analysis of previous Supreme Court decisions and legislative efforts from the late colonial period to the present, tracking the troubled course of Indian law through a terrain of abrogated treaties, unenforced court decisions, confused statutes, and harsh administrative rulings. In its decision, the Court held that states are barred from interfering with tribal gaming enterprises catering primarily to non-Indian participants and operating in Indian country. As a result of that ruling-and of Congress's subsequent passage of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act-tribal gaming has become a multibillion dollar business encompassing 425 casinos operated by 238 tribes in 29 states. Such enormous growth has funded a renaissance of reservation self-governance and culture, once written off as permanently impoverished. As Rossum shows, Cabazon also brings together in one case a debate over the meaning of tribal sovereignty, the relationship of tribes to the federal government and the states, and the appropriateness of having distinctive canons of construction for federal Indian law. His concise and insightful study makes clear the significance of this landmark case as it attests to the sovereignty of both Native Americans and the law.
