Abstract

Abstract:This piece considers the use of the terms Indigenous, American Indian, Native American, and Indian in historical writing. Placing each of these labels in historical context, Bauer and Ellis trace the evolution of language used to talk about Native Americans and offer context and critiques of diverse usages. By tracking between the past and present, the authors also consider contemporary terminology usage among Native communities, and demonstrate generational shifts among their own communities. Bauer and Ellis argue in favor of using the specific names of tribal nations whenever possible and demonstrate that generalizing terms, like Indigenous and Native American primarily serve to describe Native peoples through their relations to colonization rather than on their own terms.

土著人、美洲原住民还是美洲印第安人?广义术语的局限性
摘要:本文探讨了历史写作中土著、美洲印第安人、美洲原住民和印第安人等术语的使用。鲍尔和埃利斯将这些标签放在历史背景中,追溯了用来谈论印第安人的语言的演变,并提供了不同用法的背景和批评。通过对过去和现在的追踪,作者还考虑了土著社区中当代术语的使用,并展示了他们自己社区中的代际变化。鲍尔和埃利斯认为,只要有可能,就应该使用部落国家的具体名称,并证明,像“土著”和“美洲原住民”这样的概括性术语,主要是用来描述土著人民与殖民的关系,而不是用他们自己的术语。
