Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction by Lowell J. Bean:An apparent dichotomy exists in scientific circles concerning the role of religion and belief systems and a similar dichotomy exists among anthropological theorists. Two assumptions seem to prevail: ritual and world view are more ecologically nonadaptive than adaptive; or ritual and world view are more ecologically adaptive than they are nonadaptive. To examine the relevancy of the opposing theoretical views I will develop hypotheses concerning a particular culture, the Cahuilla Indians of Southern California, which will be used as a test case. I will present two sets of hypotheses which logically follow from each of the assumptions. From the first assumption I suggest that the economic needs of society are impeded by ritual actions which are not only wasteful of productive goods but decrease the production of goods; they take people away from productive activities because of ritual obligations: and . from the second I suggest that the economic needs of society are impeded by normative and existential postulates (for definition see page 16o) which indicate that valuable resources are outside the realm of the economic order; these postulates are disruptive to the production of goods by encouraging people to behave in such a way that they are taken away from productive activity. From this latter viewpoint two other hypotheses follow: the ecoiwmic needs of society are facilitated by ritual action which conserves and increases the production of goods and fosters productive activity by directing personnel toward producing activities; and the economic needs of society are facilitated by normative and existential postulates which foster the use of valuable economic resources and increase the productive process by directing behavior which involves people in productive activities. The validity of the hypotheses will be tested by asking specific questions related to the hypotheses. The questions are:Were goods wasted because of ritual action? Did ritual action take people away from productive activities or did it direct people to produce more goods? Were valuable resources placed outside the realm of economic order by existential postulates? Did normative postulates disrupt the production of goods by rewarding behavior which took people away from productive activity? Or did it reward behavior which fostered the production of goods? Additional questions are: Did ritual and world view encourage the full and rational use of the Cahuilla environment? Did ritual and world view aid in adjusting man-land ratios? Did ritual and world view support a social structure and organization which was adaptive to an environmental base? Did ritual and world view support institutions that were adaptive, such as law, property concepts, warfare, and games? Did ritual and world view have regulatory functions? Did ritual and world view stimulate or facilitate the distribution of economic goods from one part of the system to another? Did ritual and world view limit the frequency and extent of conflict over valuable resources?

Book excerpt: The objective of the study was to offer an original, analytical research project on the Cary Collection housed at the Cabazon Indian Cultural Museum. The study analyzed and interpreted the contents of the collection and its significance within the communities of Cahuilla and Chemehuevi peoples. The Cabazon Band of Mission Indians and the Twenty Nine Palms Tribe agreed to open the Cary Collection and support the research of this project, which was composed of several parts. The first sections of the dissertation included a lengthy discussion of culture, place, agriculture, water, mountains, routes, and traditional territories because these were and are the Cahuilla and Chemehuevi places that influenced the material culture of the Cary Collection. The second focused on non-Native interpretation of the collection, examining the provenance of each object. This section traced the origin of each individual artifact and its implication via a traditional archival and archeological process. In other words, this portion of the project provided a non-Native, academic analysis of the Cary Collection. The final part of the project integrated the cultural aspects of Indian tribes and their relationship to the objects. This provided agency to Native American communities through the interpretation of their own history. This was accomplished by inviting local Native American tribal elders to the cultural center to interpret objects in the Cary Collection. In this way, the objects served as mnemonic devises to aid in a deeper understanding of the Cary Collection as well as the history of Southern California Native peoples. This dissertation was taken from an approach to analyze the Cary Collection from multiple perspectives, not privileging any one voice but providing a holistic interpretation of the collection.

Book excerpt: California's educational system fails to implement culturally responsive curricula that meet the standards of California Indian nations. Despite the large population of Native people in California, specifically in the southern part of the State, Native people are erased in the state's curriculum. Parents in particular are left without agency in how their youth should be educated. This research examines how parents from two Cahuilla nations envision a culturally responsive curriculum for their youth in a public school that I refer to as T ktam School (TS). Additionally, this work examines the role of the Cahuilla language within the curriculum. This qualitative study unites an Indigenous research framework with a Cahuilla epistemology to understand how the critical components of Cahuilla lifeways could be implemented into a curriculum. I conducted in-depth interviews with seven parents/guardians of youth who identified as Cahuilla and were current students of TS were conducted. Document analysis of the current Native program at TS and participant observation of the Native American Parent Advisory Board meetings were collected and analyzed to understand the current curriculum Native youth were receiving at TS.The central finding that resulted from this work included the lack of a culturally responsive curriculum that youth are receiving at TS despite its relatively high population of Native students and proximity to three Cahuilla nations. Through interviews, the parents demonstrated their vision of what I term a "Cahuilla Culturally Responsive Curriculum" (CCRC). Parents outlined the central place that our Cahuilla language would take in the curriculum among other crucial components. The CCRC was found to be in stark contrast to the current curriculum at TS that lacks community input and fails to include Cahuilla culture, language, or a Cahuilla teacher. Parents identified a plan for implementing the CCRC and outlined the impacts they envision the curriculum would have on their children, families, nations, the school, and their communities. This study offers a framework for future Cahuilla researchers to do community-based research that follows a Cahuilla methodology. Within academic contexts, this study adds to the growing field of research on California Indian language reclamation and educational sovereignty. This study expands the scope of culturally responsive curricula by including the voices of Native parents in their children's education.

This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980, when the Cabazon Band first opened a small poker club on their Indian reservation in the isolated desert of California, they knew local authorities would challenge them. Cabazon persisted and ultimately won, defeating the State of California in a landmark case before the Supreme Court. By fighting for their right to operate a poker club, Cabazon opened up the possibility for native nations across the United States to open casinos on their own reservations, spurring the growth of what is now a $30 billion industry. Cahuilla Nation Activism and the Tribal Casino Movement tells the bigger story of how the Cahuilla nations—including the Cabazon—have used self-reliance and determination to maintain their culture and independence against threats past and present. From California’s first governor’s “war of extermination” against native peoples through today’s legal and political challenges, Gordon shows that successful responses have depended on the Cahuilla’s ability to challenge non-natives’ assumptions and misconceptions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive survey of indigenous languages of the New World introduces students and general readers to the mosaic of American Indian languages and cultures and offers an approach to grasping their subtleties. Authors Silver and Miller demonstrate the complexity and diversity of these languages while dispelling popular misconceptions. Their text reveals the linguistic richness of languages found throughout the Americas, emphasizing those located in the western United States and Mexico while drawing on a wide range of other examples from Canada to the Andes. It introduces readers to such varied aspects of communicating as directionals and counting systems, storytelling, expressive speech, Mexican Kickapoo whistle speech, and Plains sign language. The authors have included the basics of grammar and historical linguistics while emphasizing such issues as speech genres and other sociolinguistic issues and the relation between language and worldview. American Indian Languages: Cultural and Social Contexts is a comprehensive resource that will serve as a text in undergraduate and lower-level graduate courses on Native American languages and provide a useful reference for students of American Indian literature or general linguistics. It also introduces general readers interested in Native Americans to the amazing diversity and richness of indigenous American languages.
