Responding to anti-Indianism in America, the wide-ranging
perspectives culled in Unlearning the Language of Conquest present
a provocative account of the contemporary hegemony still at work
today, whether conscious or unconscious. Four Arrows has gathered a
rich collection of voices and topics, including: - Waziyatawin
Angela Cavender Wilson's "Burning Down the House: Laura Ingalls
Wilder and American Colonialism," which probes the mentality of
hatred woven within the pages of this iconographic children's
literature. - Vine Deloria's "Conquest Masquerading as Law,"
examining the effect of anti-Indian prejudice on decisions in U.S.
federal law. - David N. Gibb's "The Question of Whitewashing in
American History and Social Science," featuring a candid discussion
of the spurious relationship between sources of academic funding
and the types of research allowed or discouraged. - Barbara Alice
Mann's "Where Are Your Women? Missing in Action," displaying the
exclusion of Native American women in curricula that purport to
illuminate the history of Indigenous Peoples. Bringing to light
crucial information and perspectives on an aspect of humanity that
pervades not only U.S. history but also current sustainability,
sociology, and the ability to craft accurate understandings of the
population as a whole, Unlearning the Language of Conquest yields a
liberating new lexis for realistic dialogues.
Indigenous Sustainable Wisdom: First Nation Know-how for Global
Flourishing's contributors describe ways of being in the world that
reflect a worldview that guided humanity for 99% of human history:
They describe the practical traditional wisdom that stems from
Nature-based relational cultures that were or are guided by this
worldview. Such cultures did not cause the kinds of anti-Nature and
de-humanizing or inequitable policies and practices that now
pervade our world. Far from romanticizing Indigenous histories,
Indigenous Sustainable Wisdom offers facts about how human beings,
with our potential for good and evil behaviors, can live in
relative harmony again. Contributions cover views from
anthropology, psychology, sociology, leadership, native science,
native history, and native art.
