Written for high school students and general readers alike, this
insightful treatment links the storied past of various Apache
tribes with their life in contemporary times. Written for high
school students and general readers alike, Culture and Customs of
the Apache Indians links the storied past of the Apaches with
contemporary times. It covers modern-day Apache culture and customs
for all eight tribes in Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma since the
end of the Apache wars in the 1880s. Highlighting tribal religion,
government, social customs, lifestyle, and family structures, as
well as arts, music, dance, and contemporary issues, the book helps
readers understand Apaches today, countering stereotypes based on
the 18th- and 19th-century views created by the popular media. It
demonstrates that Apache communities are contributing members of
society and that, while their culture and customs are based on
traditional ways, they live and work in the modern world. Takes an
in-depth look at the Apache language today Discusses modern-day
Apache artists, writers, musicians, and tribal leaders Contains an
assortment of historical and modern photographs as well as charts
and illustrations Provides a chronology of major historical events
In Everything Ancient Was Once New, Emalani Case explores
Indigenous persistence through the concept of Kahiki, a term that
is at once both an ancestral homeland for Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiians)
and the knowledge that there is life to be found beyond Hawai'i's
shores. It is therefore both a symbol of ancestral connection and
the potential that comes with remembering and acting upon that
connection. Tracing physical, historical, intellectual, and
spiritual journeys to and from Kahiki, Emalani frames it as a place
of refuge and sanctuary, a place where ancient knowledge can
constantly be made anew. It is in Kahiki, she argues, and in the
sanctuary it creates, that today's Kanaka Maoli can find safety and
reprieve from the continued onslaught of settler colonial violence,
while also confronting some of the often uncomfortable and
challenging realities of being Indigenous in Hawai'i, in the
Pacific, and in the world. Each chapter of the book engages with
Kahiki as a shifting term, employed by Kanaka Maoli to explain
their lives and experiences to themselves at different points in
history. In doing so, Everything Ancient Was Once New proposes and
argues for reactivated and reinvigorated engagements with Kahiki,
each supporting ongoing work aimed at decolonizing physical and
ideological spaces, and reconnecting Kanaka Maoli to other peoples
and places in the Pacific region and beyond in ways that are both
purposeful and meaningful. In the book, Kahiki is therefore traced
through pivotal moments in history and critical moments in
contemporary times, explaining that while not always mentioned by
name, the idea of Kahiki was, and is, always full of potential. In
writing that is both personal and theoretical, Emalani weaves the
past and the present together, reflecting on ancient concepts and
their continued relevance in movements to protect lands, waters,
and oceans; to fight for social justice; to reexamine our
responsibilities and obligations to each other across the Pacific
region; and to open space for continued dialogue on what it means
to be Indigenous both when at home and when away. Combining
personal narrative and reflection with research and critical
analysis, Everything Ancient Was Once New journeys to and from
Kahiki, the sanctuary for reflection, deep learning, and continued
dreaming with the past, in the present, and far into the future.
This book examines race relations in Australia through various
media representations over the past 200 years. The early colonial
press perpetuated the image of aboriginal people as framed by early
explorers, and stereotypes and assumptions still prevail. Print and
television news accounts of several key events in recent Australian
history are compared and reveal how indigenous sources are excluded
from stories about their affairs. Journalists wield extraordinary
power in shaping the images of cultures and people, so indigenous
people, like those in North America, have turned away from
mainstream media and have acquired their own means of cultural
production through radio, television, and multimedia. This study
concludes with suggestions for addressing media practices to
reconcile indigenous and non-indigenous people.
This study will appeal to students and scholars studying mass
media, particularly journalism and public relations, Australian
history, and sociology.
This indexed guide enables researchers and practitioners to draw
upon the substantial dissertation research on the life experiences
of Native American and Alaska Native children and adolescents. This
carefully arranged and fully cross-referenced reference tool
includes title, abstract, and retrieval information for 345
dissertations presented between 1960 and 1982. The abstracts
outline the salient points of each study, e.g., subject population,
sample size, sampling technique, research questions, data
collection and analysis procedures, and conclusions. They are
arranged alphabetically by author within thirteen major topics:
childrearing and socialization; values, personality development;
mental health and adjustment; language, bilingualism, communication
behavior; intelligence; learning abilities, cognition; perceptual
processes; social perceptions, attitudes; self-imagery;
achievement; school environment; educational policy; and
interventions. Each abstract is indexed by substantive and
methodological characteristics. A glossary and index define and
identify 136 cross-referenced descriptive terms commonly used in
social, behavioral, and mental health science research.
This valuable book provides a succinct, readable account of an
oft-neglected topic in the historiography of the American
Revolution: the role of Native Americans in the Revolution's
outbreak, progress, and conclusion. There has not been an
all-encompassing narrative of the Native American experience during
the American Revolutionary War period-until now. Native Americans
in the American Revolution: How the War Divided, Devastated, and
Transformed the Early American Indian World fills that gap in the
literature, provides full coverage of the Revolution's effects on
Native Americans, and details how Native Americans were critical to
the Revolution's outbreak, its progress, and its conclusion. The
work covers the experiences of specific Native American groups such
as the Abenaki, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Delaware,
Iroquois, Seminole, and Shawnee peoples with information presented
by chronological period and geographic area. The first part of the
book examines the effects of the Imperial Crisis of the 1760s and
early 1770s on Native peoples in the Northern colonies, Southern
colonies, and Ohio Valley respectively. The second section focuses
on the effects of the Revolutionary War itself on these three
regions during the years of ongoing conflict, and the final section
concentrates on the postwar years. Adds the Native American
perspective to the reader's understanding of the American
Revolution, a critical aspect of this period in history that is
rarely covered Supplies a synthesis of the best current and past
work on the topic of Native Americans in the American Revolution
that will be accessible to general readers as well as undergraduate
and graduate-level students Shows how the struggle over the
definition and utilization of Native American identity-an issue
that was initiated with the American Revolution-is still ongoing
for American Indians
A collection of Native American tales and myths focusing on the relationship between man and nature.

Although Native Americans have been subjugated by every American
government since The Founding, they have persevered and, in some
cases, thrived. What explains the existence of separate,
semi-sovereign nations within the larger American nation? In large
part it has been victories won at the Supreme Court that have
preserved the opportunity for Native Americans to 'make their own
laws and be ruled by them.' The Supreme Court could have gone
further, creating truly sovereign nations with whom the United
States could have negotiated on an equal basis. The Supreme Court
could also have done away with tribes and tribalism with the stroke
of a pen. Instead, the Court set a compromise course, declaring
tribes not fully sovereign but also something far more than a mere
social club. This book describes several of the most famous Supreme
Court cases impacting the course of Native American history. The
author provides an analysis of canonical American Indian Law cases
with historical and legal context and brings a fresh perspective to
the issues. Law students, policy makers and judges looking for an
introduction to American Indian Law will gain an understanding of
this complicated history. This exploration will also appeal to
academics interested in a new perspective on old and current cases.
