▼ Previous studies of minority political behavior have demonstrated that empowerment, as measured by the election of a minority person to public office, has positive effects on participation among the members of the minority community. Although the empowerment theory has yet to be applied to American Indians, it shows much promise in explaining participation rates among this minority group because of the theory’s emphasis on political context; and attitudinal factors. This dissertation explored the role of empowerment on American Indian participation, first by comparing turnout prior to empowerment to turnout post empowerment in three counties in the West: San Juan County, Utah; Big Horn County, Montana; and Roosevelt County, Montana. The findings indicate that turnout among Indians after empowerment, as defined by an Indian holding elected office, was higher than turnout prior to empowerment because of the positive effect of empowerment on perceptions and attitudes among American Indians. The election of an Indian to county office was a major context;ual change in each of the three counties, and the change had a positive impact on voter participation among Indians by influencing perceptions of government and attitudes of American Indians. Furthermore, the positive effect of empowerment on American Indian voters is both immediate and long-lasting. The positive effect on American Indian political behavior is evident immediately after empowerment, that is, Indians vote at higher rates in the first election following empowerment than prior to empowerment. Turnout continues to increase over time for American Indians, in contrast to non-Indian populations, indicating the long-lasting, positive effects of empowerment on Indian political behavior.

▼ Through painted compositions, the objective of this thesis is to provide an
analysis of ethnicity, gender, race and social-domestic practices within a
multitude of varying metaphorical signifiers embedded in the content,
composition, schemes of color, execution of line and overall subject matter.
To be more specific, the thesis exhibit consists of compositions on three
painted, wooden structures that hang horizontally on an identified wall space in a
gallery in the Cherokee Central School Performing Arts Center. The wooden
structures vary in size from 5’x7’ to 6’x9’. The color execution of the compositions
are delivered in the mediums of acrylic and enamel with a focus on regional
class/cultural practices in the aspect of domestic social living arrangements.
Pinpointing this identification within the compositions is the common element of
the regional icon of the singlewide mobile home.
Additionally, there are underlying icons of “Native ethnicity” present within
the images. It is the intent for these icons to exist covertly within the composition;
creating an establishment of image unencumbered by preconceived notions and
icons that so commonly swirl around Native art.
The Works Cited page highlights some of artistic influences that have
driven the stylistic establishments of these particular compositions. A few of the
influences cited in this thesis include, Fritz Scholder, Roy Lichtenstein, and Alex
Katz.

▼ The following dissertation is an ethnographic community study focusing on religiosity and its relationship in maintaining tribal identity among urban Indians living in Chicago, Illinois. The research examines spirituality and religious practice in an urban Indian community and illuminates and examines how people conceptualize the sacred and how it applies to their sense of tribal, familial, and individual identities and its development through a lifetime. The goals of this research are to: 1) provide an overview of religiosity as it currently exists within the American Indian community of Chicago; and 2) examine religion and spirituality as is develops over time utilizing an inter-generational perspective to gain insight into this process.
The research approaches religion and spirituality as an aspect of ethnic or group identity and its role in maintaining tribal identity. The goal of this approach is to illuminate the nature of religion; its existance in the daily lives of community members; how it maintains tribal ethnic identity; its manifestations within community relations and the urban landscape; and how it links multiple generations, along with reservation and urban communities.
This dissertation provides an account of religious views and beliefs in the Chicago American Indian community through the examination of current religious beliefs and practices and their relationships to the maintenance of tribal identity in a multi-tribal community. Most importantly, it reveals American Indian concepts of spirituality and ceremonialism within an urban Indian community from a community perspective.

▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Anthropology - Doctor of Philosophy 2015
This dissertation uses archaeological and historical data to examine the impact thatmigration had on community identity among the Wendat communities that moved into the western Great Lakes during the second half of the seventeenth century. Research on contemporary displaced peoples has shown that migration and resettlement processes put severe stress on communities, which can lead to community identity transformation. One particularly unique case is that of a diaspora community, dispersed over several regions and maintaining a distinct emotional link to their homeland. In this research, an archaeological model for recognizing diaspora communities and distinguishing them from other forced migrant groups is developed. This model is rooted in theories of migration, ethnicity and identity and uses Rockman’s model of colonization barriers as a basis for its creation. This model is applied to the migration of the Wendat people who collectively resettled from Southern Ontario into the western Great Lakes during the seventeenth century. Archaeological and historical data associated with five archaeological sites, two in Southern Ontario and three in the western Great Lakes, are analyzed. This data set allows for a diachronic analysis of the long-term impacts of migration, which is not often available to cultural anthropologists. Two main archaeological data sets are analyzed to understand resettlement practices and identity. First, symbolic materials are analyzed. Ceramics, pipes and carved faunal materials are all malleable objects on which individuals can create and modify semiotic systems to reflect their sense of identity. Changes in these materials diachronically and spatially are evaluated using a Brainerd Robinson coefficient of similarity. Secondly, lithic resources at settlement sites are analyzed to determine knowledge of local resources and access to high quality materials as an indicator of social networks and local knowledge. These two datasets are then combined with the ethnohistoric data to evaluate the applicability of Safran’s six characteristics of diasporic communities in the case of the western Wendat. I conclude that this community does indeed reflect a diasporic community. While data suggests that accommodation and integration into local networks in the resettlement area was practiced initially following dispersal, a reassertion of Wendat identity followed. This corresponds to a period of increased stability and reduced hostility from 1670-1701.

▼ For the last several decades, scholars have been intrigued with the ways that some
American Indians resisted assimilation into the mainstream of the dominant culture of the United States. Chicago's First Urban Indians – the Potawatomi, examines the ways some Pokagon Potawatomi found to retain a distinct
American Indian identity; the ways their resistance represented both their rejection of assimilation into the mainstream, and their desire for inclusion into the larger contemporary society without forfeiting their Indianness. The Chicago urban Indian experience did not begin with the post World War II federal programs of relocation of
American Indians from reservations to urban areas. Rather, the Potawatomi (more specifically the Pokagon Potawatomi) have been a part of Chicago since its founding. In very public expressions of indigeneity, they have refused to hide in plain sight or assimilate. Instead, throughout the city's history, the Pokagon Potawatomi
Indians have openly and aggressively expressed their refusal to be marginalized or forgotten – and in doing so they have contributed to the fabric and history of the city. Examining, in roughly chronological order, the literature and rhetoric of Simon Pokagon, the spectacles, performances, and monuments of the Potawatomi, their efforts for the restoration of territory, and their engagement with sport and recreation, this dissertation reveals how these activities and practices preserved and promoted a Pokagon Potawatomi presence in the city.

▼ At the time of European contact, the Native Americans of North America had a long-standing tradition of decorating their clothing and other objects of personal adornment. This activity extended beyond ornamentation to encompass significant cultural practices associated with their concepts of well-being and wealth. The coming of the white man to North America had immediate and far-reaching impact on the
Indians that included their manner of dress as they incorporated trade goods such as glass beads and woven cloth into their clothing. The Delaware were regarded as the grandfathers or original people' by the Eastern Woodlands
Indians. The story of the Delaware's forced migration across the United States and their tenacity to maintain a sense of cultural identity in the face of assimilation is important in understanding their eventual influence in an elaborate style of beadwork that came to be known as the Prairie style. This artistic form is recognizable by its vibrant color palette, large abstracted floral motifs, geometric patterns, and the rows of white beads that outline these designs. The Delaware have often been cited as leaders in the development and dissemination of the Prairie style which was eventually used by Native
American beadworkers living on reservations in Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, and Wisconsin. The Prairie style was used to embellish a wide variety of clothing and other objects including bandolier bags, breechcloths, leggings, moccasins, coats, shirts, hair wrappers, medicine bags, and horse tack. While there are stylistic elements that make this form of beadwork recognizable, Native
American women also took the common design elements and combined them with their own aesthetics to create variations of this important art form. In this paper, I argue that the influence of the Delaware in the perpetuation of this style can be linked to their status as the original people of the Eastern Woodlands tribes, their constant contact with other Native Americans during their forced migration, and their own desire to blend their aesthetics with trade goods to create elaborately beaded clothing that became a symbol of their Indianess.'

▼ Previous research has found
American Indians (AI) to demonstrate higher levels of alcohol use than Caucasians (CA); however, recent research has found that AI may be drinking at similar or lower rates than CA. Cultural identification (i.e., degree to which an individual associate with, and represents themselves as a member of a specific cultural group) may be a factor contributing to the level of alcohol use among AI. The current study examined cultural identification and alcohol use among University of North Dakota (UND) AI (n=56) and CA (n=88) college students. Results indicated non-significant differences in alcohol use between cultural identification groups. However, results indicated significant differences in the standardized alcoholic drinks per day between cultural identification groups; with CA having a significantly higher average daily alcohol consumption than AIs who identified as Marginal, Traditional, and Assimilated. The second aim of the current study examined the association between alcohol use and age. Results indicated a significant difference in standardized alcoholic drinks per day between age groups; with 18 to 25-year-olds having higher average daily alcohol consumption then 26-year-olds and older. Furthermore, this study was the first to examine the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory-4 (SASSI-4) among AI college students. A better understanding of the relationship between cultural identification and alcohol use will enhance intervention efforts among college students and add to the literature of AI college students and alcohol use.

▼ Native Americans are diagnosed with disabilities at a significantly higher rate than the general
American population. Due to cultural differences, other factors are likely impacting this difference in diagnosis rates. One possible factor is that Native Americans may have a different definition for ‘disability’ than the general
American population. This study aimed to identify whether there is a difference in the definition for ‘disability’ and to learn about the current services available and what changes should be made to better serve Native Americans with disabilities. Native
American participants were asked to share their experiences and thoughts about disabilities in sharing circles. Four major themes were identified following these sharing circles. These themes included a culturally based definition of “disability”, barriers to services, acceptance, and needed action. These themes highlight the cultural strengths among Native communities surrounding disabilities and bring attention to what changes could be made to better serve the needs of Native Americans with disabilities.

▼ This dissertation, Trickster Skins: Narratives of Landscape, Representation, and the Miami Nation, reinterprets sites of Miami history through the lenses of narrative and landscape. It combines Miami and Western forms of knowledge to reinterpret the complex relationships of landscape and representation within the Miami struggle against colonization and the narratives that have arisen from this struggle. It tells several stories of a small tribe that remained east of the Mississippi River after the era of Indian removal who have been neglected by the Federal Government and often misunderstood by academia and the general public.
The Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana (MNI) has about 5,500 enrolled citizens. Remaining in their homeland after removal of nearly half of the Miami Nation in 1846, the Miami of Indiana struggled to retain their reserve lands and identity in the face of Federal, State, and local governmental efforts to systematically dissolve their land base and their inherent and reserved rights. These efforts hinged upon representations of the Miami people and landscape that worked to ignore and erase their continued presence in Indiana through various cultural and legal narratives ultimately denying their identity as American Indians and their recognition as a sovereign nation. Despite these efforts, this dissertation demonstrates the creative and continued resistance of the Miami in various ways.
Drawing upon a myriad of sources, this dissertation focuses upon Miami narratives, pictorial and textual representations, efforts to retain their land base, public performance, museum collections and display, and legal battles. This focus examines how the relationships of the Miami people to land takes many forms and are integral to discussions of tribal sovereignty. The findings in this investigation provide alternative interpretations of these sites of Miami history and are informed by Miami narrative traditions.

▼ American Indians are a highly heterogeneous group composed of over 561 federally recognized tribes. However, American Indians are underrepresented in the healthcare workforce, including psychology and mental health services. Health statistics indicate that depression, alcoholism, and suicide occur with high frequency in many American Indian communities. Due to the lack of American Indian therapists, many American Indians turn to therapists who do not always have a clear understanding of their values and beliefs. This leads one to wonder what the therapeutic experience is like for American Indian clients seeking mental health services from White therapists. This study used qualitative methodology, specifically, phenomenological methods, to understand the lived experiences of American Indian clients who attended therapy with White therapists. Results revealed several themes, including: feeling misunderstood by their therapist, confusion of racial/ethnic differences and traditional spiritual practices, discussion of or lack of discussion of racial and ethnic differences, desire to work with American Indian or other ethnic minority therapists, and cultural competence and cultural humility. Implications for clinical practice and future directions of research are addressed. More research in this area is clearly needed.

▼ "Contested Authority," uses the 1825 Prairie du Chien treaty council as a case study to examine the dynamics of power and authority of an Indigenous borderland located in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century wild rice lakes and maple sugar forests of the western Great Lakes. This research centers on the interactions and overlapping territorial claims of Dakota and Ojibwe communities that complicated efforts by United States officials to solidify their own claims to the region. The Americans argued that leaders of Great Lakes tribes should delineate their boundaries believing that such boundaries would secure peace between the tribes. American authority in the region was still a weak presence, but American efforts led by Michigan Territorial Governor, Lewis Cass, intended to strengthen the federal government's position in the lands west of Lake Michigan. The ongoing conflict between the Ojibwe and Dakota greatly concerned the Americans as the tribe's sporadic warfare dampened the enthusiasm for settlement and endangered American settlers. Cass' efforts to enforce American ideas of private property conflicted with Ojibwe and Dakota community understandings of environmental resources and property. This research presents the multi-dimensional relationships that made up authority in Ojibwe and Dakota society, explores the efforts of Cass and American agents to disrupt these traditional power structures, and highlights how Indigenous leadership structures persisted despite these American attempts to dismantle them. – Abstract.

▼ At the turn of the twentieth century, American Indians defended their communities by challenging the racial and moral assumptions that buttressed Euro-American claims of superiority. Native writers understood how the rhetoric of civilization and progress cast American Indians as backward, helping to justify the federal government's violation of tribal sovereignty, the division of tribal lands, and the suppression of Native cultures. American Indians were fully cognizant of the deleterious consequences of permitting critiques of Native societies and peoples to remain unchallenged. Even Native writers who seemingly embraced the concepts of civilization and progress resisted the denigration of American Indians as they understood how anti-Indian prejudices prevented Native peoples from fully participating in American society. These Native writers recast American Indians as civilized and the equals of Euro-Americans. Previous scholarship examined the parallels in the racial discourses and governmental policies applied to American Indians, African Americans, and colonial populations. This dissertation takes a new approach by placing American Indian conceptions of the American empire at the center of the study in order to demonstrate how Native writers utilized their understanding of the American empire to frame their interpretation of federal Indian policies. In order to bolster their critiques of the United States, Native writers referred to the newly-created overseas American empire in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines. Native critics of the American empire pointed to the treatment of newly-colonized peoples in the Pacific to condemn the United States as uncivilized and immoral. Native proponents of accommodation drew upon the creation of an American empire to convince other American Indians of the futility of resisting the United States. In addition, Native proponents of accommodation did not use the discourse of civilization and progress in the same manner as Euro-American proponents of assimilation. Instead, these American Indians drew on the language of civilization to urge Euro-Americans to treat Native communities humanely.

▼ At the turn of the twentieth century, anthropologists and politicians alike predicted the extinction of American Indians. Yet, Native Americans survived, persevered, and instituted political activism concerning the United States federal Indian policies in that century. Drawing upon Bureau of Indian Affairs and State of California archival materials, oral histories, and tribal records, this dissertation addresses American Indian political movements in Southern California Mission Indian country in the years 1934-1958. This study focuses on the different factions on and off the Southern California Indian reservations and the federal Indian policies that inspired resistance within these communities. I argue that the implied passivity that the Bureau of Indian Affairs and reformers labeled California Indians was a myth. The political movements established during the first half of the twentieth century demonstrates that the Mission Indians had the required tools to maintain their tribal land and sovereignty. This dissertation starts with the impending implementation of the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act and covers the administration of John Collier as Commissioner of Indian Affairs and the reactions to the Indian New Deal by the Mission Indians in Southern California. The Indian Reorganization Act stimulated grassroots movements on and off Indian reservations throughout the United States. I follow the groups that flourished in California during the years between the IRA and the passage of House Concurrent Resolution 108, which allowed for the termination of federal trust protections of Indian reservations that included California's Indian reservations. I evaluate how the shifting, yet static federal Indian policies contributed to political lobbying against the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the effective uses of media rhetoric on both sides of the issue. Finally, my study demonstrates how the actions of a few individuals in California Indian country successfully combated the Bureau of Indian Affairs' termination legislation, tribal factionalism, and the State of California. This accomplishment eventually allowed for the establishment of lucrative Indian gaming operations in the twenty-first century in Indian country.

▼ This study examines the tradition of beaded capes among the Lower Colorado River Yuman groups, with the goal of understanding the meaning and cultural significance that the capes held in the past and continue to hold for those that wear and create them today. Questions posed by this study ask how and to whom do beaded capes hold meaning; and why were the beaded capes overlooked by collectors if they are culturally significant? As a marker of River Yuman identity and artistic expertise, the lack of historic beaded capes that are held within museum collections is surprising, with only twenty-two museums across the United States and Europe housing a composite total of fifty-eight River Yuman beaded capes. This study attempts to answer the proposed questions by conducting interviews with River Yuman beadworkers and community members, regarding their perspectives on the meanings and symbolism presented by beaded capes, and the cultural significance of these items. In contrast, this study examines the views of Euro-
American collectors that were collecting beaded capes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when others were not. An understanding of outsider perspectives and motivation for collecting beaded capes is achieved through analysis of collector's field notes, journals, and museum accession files. Combining ethnography, archival research, and museum collections-based research, this study seeks to present a more detailed understanding of the River Yuman beaded cape as a marker of gender and ethnic identity. This research addresses the existing voids in knowledge about the cultural significance that the beaded capes hold for Quechan (Yuma) and Pipa Aha Macav (Mojave) people, and introduces that information to outsiders, creating a record of the views of River Yuman community members on the contemporary meanings that the beaded capes hold.

▼ A Thesis Submitted In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts-English
Within Native American literature, young adult Native American men face many
obstacles to success on the journey to a layered existence that straddles the reservation
line. The men face stereotypes, tribal attitudes, poverty, alcoholism, and an overall
mental struggle to survive as Native American men that leaves them wobbling on the
dividing line between two worlds. The men have to overcome the obstacles in order to
achieve a sturdy balance of existence and successfully go back and forth between the
Native world and the outside world. Within Sherman Alexie's texts The Absolutely True
Diary of a Part-Time Indian, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, and The
Toughest Indian in the World; Alexie's films The Business of Fancydancing and Smoke
Signals; Richard Van Camp's The Lesser Blessed; and James Welch?s Winter in the
Blood, the protagonists struggle to balance their culture with the Western-influenced
outer world. The writers investigate tribal and non-tribal influences and pressures on
their Blackfoot, Dogrib, Spokane, and Coeur d'Alene Native American male characters
as well as the inner mental struggles that the protagonists undergo on a path towards a
balanced existence. This layered existence connects with two-spirit identities through
issues of self acceptance and tribal and non-tribal influences on personal identity choices
and classifications, particularly within Alexie's texts and films. Overall, tribal peoples,
as well as surrounding populations, collude to create a hostile environment for Native
American men within the selected texts, and the protagonists are forced to fight for their
own existences and to achieve a life that combines the best of their culture with the
opportunities available off the reservation, albeit at varying levels of balance. Alexie,
Van Camp, and Welch present complex characters who face obstacles that can push them
closer to their Indian heritage or further away in order to gain a sense of belonging and
acceptance, and these colluding forces have to be balanced in order for these young adult
Native American male characters to live a harmonious life within a layered literary
existence.

▼ Works of literature written by Native Americans have long been treated by readers and critics as expressions of cultural identity: transparent representations of communal world-views, traditional belief-systems, or sets of cultural practices. Often, such ethnographic readings come at the expense of understanding how these texts express the political concerns of their authors. My dissertation pushes back against such readings, showing how Ojibwe writers attempt to use literature as a means of shaping public opinion in the pursuit of pragmatic political goals. Reconsidering Ojibwe writing in this way, I examine how Ojibwe authors use their work to engage in dialog with non-Native readers and writers in the U.S. – an interaction they insist be understood as transnational. By comparing literary representations of the Ojibwe produced by both U.S. writers and the Ojibwe themselves, I show how poems, novels, and dramatic works have been the site at which the possibility of Ojibwe nationhood has been imagined and contested for nearly two centuries. In so doing, I suggest that Ojibwe literature is not a stable and homogenous category, but an expedient response to U.S. settler-colonialism defined by a shared set of political commitments. In so doing, I complicate prior theorizations of indigenous literary nationalism as a project primarily oriented toward cultural separatism, replacing them with a more nuanced model of continual, if agonistic, engagement on the imperfectly leveling field of literary representation.

▼ Fit Instruments: Gaels,
Indians, and
the Diverse Origins of Imperial Reform and Revolution
compares the experiences of three groups of marginalized people in
the eighteenth century British empire—Native Americans, Irish
Gaels, and Scottish Gaels—in order to better understand race and
exclusion in early America. Drawing on Native
American council
speeches as well as Gaelic-language poetry, I argue that these
marginalized people strove to reshape empire in ways that reflected
their cultural and material interests, ensuring that questions of
diversity drove the process of imperial reform and revolution. I
argue that the
American Revolution—and its troubling racial
legacies—must be understood as a response, one among many, to that
imperial reality and the difficult global transition from empire to
nation-state. Fit Instruments
begins with the Glorious Revolution of 1688-90, describing how the
late seventeenth century witnessed the creation of tentative
alliances between the empire’s indigenous peoples and the Crown—as
well as the ways that Anglophone provincials used these alliances
as a justification for ousting James II, creating an “exclusionary
constitution” that barred indigenous people from the benefits of
empire. This constitution began to crumble in the 1740s, when
Gaelic and Indian people forced themselves onto the imperial agenda
in a series of events that convinced imperial leaders that winning
over indigenous people would be central to victory in the imperial
struggle against France. This “Atlantic’ 45,” I
argue, reveals that imperial reform had different origins and goals
than is usually assumed: it was focused on the need to manage
diversity within a broader imperial framework. The second half of
the project tells the story of successive imperial attempts to do
so, with emphasis on the ways that Gaelic and Indian people
themselves contributed to imperial reform both as its targets and
as active participants. Fit Instruments closes
with an epilogue that depicts the
American Revolution as one
possible response to these changing imperial understandings of
diversity, arguing that the familiar
American struggle with race
and exclusion owes much to its roots in an imperial crisis
fundamentally concerned with the role of government in managing
diversity.

▼ This thesis examines the Dawes enrollment period between 1900 and 1906. It is unique in that it recaptures the history from the perspective of the applicants for Cherokee citizenship. In looking at the various ways that applicants attempted
to present themselves as qualified for Cherokee citizenship, it reveals that race played a significant role in defining the contours of Cherokee-ness and nation at these hearings. Race was contingent at the Dawes hearings. It excluded many applicants
from citizenship and helped define the rights and social statuses of those accepted.

▼ The purpose of this research is to assess and address issues of contextualization and
reconciliation as they pertain to Christianization and cultural preservation within the
three Nanticoke-Lenape American Indian tribal communities remaining in the states of
New Jersey and Delaware in the United States. The study seeks to provide insight into
the challenges for ministry within the socio-cultural and political context of the tribal
communities, particularly in regard to meaningful healing and reconciliation over the
lingering effects of colonization, in a manner that promotes integral, holistic,
contextualized Christian ministry. To achieve this, the study investigates the historical
backdrop of the tribal communities, including European contact, colonization, missions,
assimilation and cultural survival. Past and present tribal lifeways, beliefs, and practices
are evaluated through documented historical sources and contemporary accounts. The
research highlights the histories and current ministries of the principal historic tribal
congregations, and their role in the spiritual, cultural, and political survival of the tribes.
It also assesses possible approaches for effective, mission oriented, compassionate
engagement as a matter of faithful contextualization and social justice.
It should be noted that within this work the terms “American Indian,” “Native
American,” “Indigenous American,” “Aboriginal American,” and “First Nations
People” are all used to describe the indigenous people of America. These terms should
not be confused with the term “Indian American,” which describes an American citizen
whose ancestors can be traced to the nation of India on the continent of Asia.

▼ The art and art history of the
American West has long been uncritically accepted as embodying positive nationalistic values that include courage, optimism, democracy, and individualism. In 1991, William Truettner's The West as America: Reinterpreting Images of the Frontier, 1820-1920 (1991) became one of the most politically charged western art exhibitions in
American history to question and criticize these values and to underscore the ideological content of western art. The exhibition with its accompanying catalogue reinterpreted nineteenth-century images of the
American West as expansionist propaganda. In spite of this groundbreaking and controversial exhibition and catalogue, exhibitions continue to promote largely romanticized and idyllic images of pristine landscapes with
American Indians living in a harmonious world. The scholarly essay and museum exhibition entitled Lone Wolf (Hart M. Schultz): Cowboy, Actor and Artist, focuses on the artwork and life of Blackfeet artist Lone Wolf, (aka Hart Merriam Schultz, 1882-1970), who was active from 1915 to 1960, painting in Montana at Glacier National Park in the summertime, and wintering in Tucson, Arizona. As a little known and understudied
American Indian artist, this exhibition and essay serve to expand awareness of the significant contributions by marginalized artists who successfully negotiated the terrain of the mainstream art world. Lone Wolf exemplifies a unique case study as an artist with
American Indian heritage, who actively participated in the creation of stereotypical and romantic images about the
American West, while he maintained that his first-hand experience and indigenous knowledge helped him to accurately depict what was considered the authentic
American West. The exhibition and essay adds to the growing scholarly interest in the art of the
American West and incorporates contemporary theories and scholarship that recognizes the
American West and the art devoted to it as distinctly heterogeneous and embedded in a number of discourses that are overshadowed by the lingering romanticism and nostalgia that clings to much art of the
American West.

▼ The research is focused on analyzing the representations of Native
American women in the two films Skinwalkers and Coyote Waits, fairly new phenomena in today's media. Both films introduce innovative images of this minority group as the entire casting of the main characters consist of Native
American actors, the setting shows contemporary life on the Navajo reservation and, most importantly for this research, Native women play important roles in both films. This research addresses several questions, such as 'How can these new images of Native
American women be placed into the history of earlier representations that have occurred in media?' and 'How do the different cinematic elements, such as the producer, the genre of the films and the audience, influence the images that are being represented in both films?'

▼ The purpose of this research was to explore selected health-illness beliefs and practices of poor Indian households living in an urban Guatemalan city. The sample consisted of 22 households or 134 individuals. Differences in standards of living among households were related to income, occupation, education, housing and material belongings. Household compositions were classified according to kinship, residence and domestic function. Health beliefs and practices surrounding 13 common illness manifestations were investigated. Prevention, causation and treatment of illness were related to environmental conditions and personal behaviors which influenced the individual's psychophysical state. Concepts of hot-cold and strong-weak underlaid many health and illness beliefs. Sample members described illness symptoms and actions taken in response to illness during a four week period. A total of 135 incidents were reported by the 22 households. Seventy-seven percent of all women, 24 percent of all men and 43 percent of children reported symptoms of illness. Respiratory illnesses were reported most frequently. Of the 135 symptoms, 32 percent were cared for by self and family, while 61 percent were referred to the social networks, pharmacies, indigenous caregivers and religious healers. Western medical services were obtained in 4.5 percent of all illnesses, while traditional practitioners were consulted for 2.5 percent of the symptoms. Treatment by a physician for most kinds of illnesses was considered to offer the highest likelihood of cure. Traditional practitioners often were consulted in conjunction with physicians or if the illness was considered uncomplicated or not amenable to medical treatment. The findings suggest reluctance to use either modern or traditional services was most frequently related to the limited economic means of the sample.

▼ There is an educational attainment crisis among American Indian students in California’s public colleges and universities, who continue to have the lowest college completion compared to any underrepresented group. California tribes believe that higher education can assist in the achievement of nation-building goals. However, close examination of how tribes and postsecondary institutions work together to ensure the success of American Indian students and their communities is necessary. This study examined contemporary relationships between tribal nations and public postsecondary universities in California. This nested, multiple case study used Tribal Critical Race Theory and community-campus partnership frameworks to understand how institutional agents articulate formal and informal relationships with local tribes. Case study sites consisted of two University of California campuses, non-federally recognized tribes, and proximally located federally recognized tribes. Documents and interviews with senior administrators, American Indian unit heads, and tribal representatives were collected and analyzed to understand different perspectives on relationships with, responsibility to, and educational needs of tribes within and across sites. Several findings emerged related to the limited knowledge university administrators had regarding American Indians broadly and the state of relations with California tribes. Findings demonstrate that formal relationships focused on federally recognized tribes and were dictated by federal, state or system-wide policies, educational resources, and economic opportunities. Conversely, informal relationships with non-federally recognized tribes were primarily maintained by university-based American Indian programs or departments. Representatives from American Indian units expressed the responsibility of universities to include and serve American Indian students and communities for democratic, reconciliatory, and ethical reasons. Last, participants identified current tribal needs for academic preparation, educational resources to support nation-building, and assistance with federal recognition applications, but also stressed the importance of consulting with tribes to address evolving needs. Overall, this study offers significant recommendations for the case study sites, as well as public universities in California and nationally. From a substantive standpoint, this analysis adds to our understanding of factors that are important to advancing tribal-university relationships and partnerships. This study also expands on existing community-campus partnership frameworks, introducing a cultural-specific approach for incorporating tribes into university government and community relations activities.

▼ This dissertation explores the making of race and the politics of belonging in Costa Rica between 1921 and 1950, during a period of shifting racial borders and entangled terrains of power. While the idea of "racial democracy" and official discourses of mestizaje (racial mixing) predominate in Latin America, Costa Rica has been long held as a unique country in Central America with an exceptional social geography characterized by "whiteness" and homogeneity. Employed in the United Fruit Company enclave in the Atlantic region of Limón since the late nineteenth century but not formally granted citizenship until 1949, persons of British West Indian origin posed alternative claims to racial belonging, based heavily on the language and ideas of Garveyism – the Pan-African political philosophy of Marcus Garvey and his Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). The surge of anti-imperial protest against the United Fruit Company in the 1920s and the subsequent renegotiation of the Company's contract in 1934 transferred the centers of banana production from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, where "persons of color" were prohibited from employment. This process re-drew the borders of the nation and initiated the "Costa Ricanization" of Limón. Theorizing Limón as a borderland formed by the encounters of U.S., Central American, and Caribbean ideas of race, this dissertation maps the convergences and divergences of two distinct yet interwoven articulations of racial citizenship in Costa Rica; one West Indian, Garveyite, and black, and the other criollo-identified and white. Utilizing interdisciplinary research methods and critical theories of race and diaspora, this project employs an analytical lens that engages the national and transnational politics of race, and the relationship between space, power, discourse, and visual culture in the making and contestation of racial belonging. This dissertation draws from the fields of African Diaspora Studies, Latin American Studies, Intellectual History, Cultural Geography, Women's Studies, and Media Studies to analyze the languages, logics, signifiers, and imageries of racial belonging, reading newspapers and petitions as "counterarchives" and key sites where Costa Ricans and West Indians forged cultures of redemption and contours of citizenship, putting them on the record. Introducing the concept of "redemptive geographies," the discursive spaces and territorial claims in which Costa Ricans and West Indians negotiated modern subjectivity and "diasporic" identity, this dissertation examines the re-mapping of the European and African diasporas alongside articulations of belonging to the Costa Rican nation. Costa Ricans re-formulated criollo whiteness and re-inscribed a mythology of homogeneity based on an identification with the Spanish settlers of the colonial past. The idea of national whiteness reinforced the outsider status of West Indians and was also an anti-imperial critique of the power of United Fruit in the country, which effectively reduced them to the status of…

▼ Providing adequate preventive care for children continues to be a major area of concern in today’s healthcare environment. Despite proven positive outcomes and an immense volume of pediatric Well-Child Care (WCC) visits, effective use of medical informatics and Electronic Health Record (EHR) tools for supporting WCC visits are lacking. A computerized pediatric WCC encounter form was created to incorporate the benefits of using an encounter form based system but minimize the disadvantage of age-based, pre-printed encounter forms. The WCC encounter form was created to function within the Indian Health Service’s ambulatory computerized health record, Patient Care Component + (PPC+), and replaced existing WCC encounter forms. The WCC encounter form was implemented and used exclusively in an Alaskan Indian Health Service pediatric clinic by 10 clinicians for a trial period of 3 months. Clinicians were asked to complete a questionnaire after completion of the trial period. The questionnaire was directed to assess the impact of the WCC encounter forms on staff perceptions of productivity, functionality, and usability. The WCC encounter form was used 5,876 times during the 3-month study period. Clinicians responded positively to all areas measured, most positively to facilitation of documentation and inclusion of age-specific information content. Several areas of improvement were also delineated. The positive questionnaire results were encouraging and demonstrated medical informatics utilities can be successfully developed and implemented to facilitate the delivery of pediatric preventive care. Pediatric clinicians are ready to embrace new modalities of information presentation better suited to the practice of preventive pediatrics. Future research needs to be done to link health outcomes data to quality of information presented to the pediatric clinician during a preventive encounter.

▼ History
"Birth of the U.S. Cavalry" examines the founding and initial operations of the U.S. Regiment of Dragoons, forebear of the First Cavalry Regiment and thus the army's first permanent mounted unit. The dragoons escorted traders along the Santa Fe Trail and projected American authority by visiting the villages of many Plains Indian nations. Dragoon officers and men made the first contacts between the U.S. government and the Kiowa, Comanche, and Wichita nations. They also helped negotiate a treaty that cleared the way for the completion of Jacksonian Indian Removal. The appointment of dragoon officers and recruitment of their enlisted subordinates reflect diverging military cultures in Jacksonian America. Approximately half of the officers served as volunteer officers during the Black Hawk War. These men clashed with the regiment's regular officers, who viewed themselves as members of a nascent profession. Analysis of government records and army registers shows that the regulars emphasized the need for military education, sought to exclude partisan politics from the appointment process, and served longer on average than the ex-volunteers. The army, expressing concerns over the quality of infantry and artillery rank and file, wanted healthy, native-born citizens for the dragoons. It departed from established recruiting practices and recruited the dragoons from all over the country, including rural areas. These novel efforts attained the desired results. Enlistment records reveal that dragoons tended to be younger than other recruits, to hail from all regions of the country, and to have been farmers or skilled tradesmen in civil life. Obtaining these men came at a price. Dragoons saw themselves as virtuous citizens and did not like regular discipline or performing the mundane tasks of frontier regulars. Many expressed dissatisfaction by deserting, making dragoon desertion rates higher than those of the army as a whole.

▼ American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) have more negative sexual and reproductive health outcomes than non-Hispanic whites. Little is known, however, about the factors that lead to sexual and reproductive health disparities for AIANs, including the role of sexual and reproductive health services (SRHS).
Logistic regression analyses were performed on data from the 2002 and 2006- 2010 National Survey of Family Growth to 1) provide baseline data on SRHS use prior to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act for a nationally representative sample of AIAN women and men, 2) identify factors associated with SRHS use among AIANs, and 3) assess the impact of the Great Recession on AIAN SRHS use.
AIAN women in urban areas were less likely to receive SRHS and birth control services than non-Hispanic whites. Additionally, AIAN women living in the South and with incomes above 133% of the federal poverty level were less likely than non-Hispanic white women to use birth control services. Conversely, AIAN men were equally likely as non-Hispanic whites to use birth control services. AIAN women and men were as likely or more likely to use STI/HIV services than their non- Hispanic white counterparts. Additionally, AIANs use of SRHS did not change as a result of the Recession. However, disparities in birth control service use between AIANs and NHWs persisted during the Recession.

▼ Este estudo avaliou a prevalência de anemia em crianças indígenas Teréna de zero a cinquenta nove meses de idade, residentes em três aldeias da Terra Indígena Buriti, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. Os Teréna são identificados como integrantes do tronco linguístico Aruak, com uma longa história de contato com a sociedade envolvente. A anemia por deficiência de ferro é hoje um dos mais graves problemas nutricionais mundiais no que tange a prevalência, motivada em alguns casos, pela ingestão deficiente de alimentos ricos em ferro ou pela inadequada utilização orgânica. Foram estudadas 49 crianças, representando 61,3% de crianças menores de cinco anos residentes nestas comunidades. Os dados relativos às condições socioeconômicas e ambientais foram obtidos através de entrevista semiestruturada com os pais e responsáveis. Foi realizada coleta de sangue venoso, no colo dos pais, pelo método a vácuo, sendo obtida mediante agendamento prévio com as crianças em jejum de doze horas. Considerou-se como valor de referência para o ferro plasmático: 50 a 60 μg/dl e anemia, resultados de hemoglobina sanguínea com valor inferior a 11 g/dL. A análise segundo os aspectos socioeconômicos e ambientais indicaram renda per capita familiar mensal média abaixo da linha de pobreza e precárias condições de saneamento básico. A prevalência global de anemia observada foi de 30,6%, sendo mais prevalente (53,8%) no grupo etário de 6 a 24 meses. A prevalência de anemia por deficiência de ferro nas crianças Teréna, foi de 34,4%. Com relação à saúde das crianças assistidas pelo Programa Nacional de Suplementação de Ferro, foi observada inadequação do programa segundo o preconizado pelo Ministério da Saúde. O consumo de alimentos fontes de ferro e vitamina C pelas crianças esteve abaixo das recomendações preconizadas para o grupo etário, aumentando os riscos para a instalação da anemia por deficiência de ferro. Os resultados obtidos indicam a necessidade de intervenções para a redução da anemia por deficiência de ferro e promoção da saúde com ações específicas e adequadas a esta população.

▼ American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) history represents a number of traumatic events inflicted upon each tribal generation that has yet to recover. These events have led to major consequences on the health of this population. AI/AN people experience the worst health disparities in the nation (Espey et al., 2014; Warne & Lajimodiere, 2015). Previous studies have shown that loss of land, cultural devastation, and inadequate health care access are associated with the high rates of health disparities endured by AI/AN people throughout North America (Walters, et al., 2011). AI/AN beliefs tell us that culture serves a fundamental role in managing good health and wellness. It is viewed as the primary vehicle for delivering healing among this population (Bassett, Tsosie & Nannauck, 2012). This study utilized the data from the, “Identifying Our Needs: A Survey of Elders VI,” which is a national AI/AN elder needs assessment. The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of the sample population and to conduct a binary logistics regression analysis to determine if cultural participation was an association with health outcomes among AI/AN elders, which included the three variables of health status, diagnosis of chronic disease, and nutritional health. The data analysis indicated the following results: (1) a positive association between cultural participation and self-reported health status; (2) no statistically significant relationship between cultural participation and diagnosis of chronic disease; and (3) no statistically significant relationship between cultural participation and nutritional health. The results can be used to address gaps in the literature in terms of cultural participation and health outcomes among AI/AN elders.

▼ Despite increased interest in client-directed counseling methods to manage chronic disease, limited data exists about utilization of counseling skills and attitudes towards these methods among health care providers, specifically those providing care to at risk populations. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the beliefs and practices of a multidisciplinary group of health practitioners who were trained in health and wellness coaching (HWC) that included motivational interviewing (MI) techniques. The training was sponsored by the Bemidji Area Indian Health Service Health Promotion Disease Prevention (BAO IHS HPDP) program. Forty-seven trained coaches from the BAO IHS HPDP working with
American Indian health programs in Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin were invited to participate. Participants completed an anonymous, online survey exploring perceptions about and use of HWC in practice. Twenty-seven of the 47 IHS Bemidji Area coaches who qualified for the study completed it. Participants represented nine different health practice areas with the majority working for Tribal Health Programs (22 of 27). Frequent use of coaching techniques, high self-efficacy with the use of HWC skills, and observed improved adherence to treatment and client outcomes were reported. Practitioners believed HWC was an effective method for providing care to patients participating in
American Indian health programs. Future research is needed to examine relationships between HWC practice and patient outcomes in populations who are from diverse cultures.
