Abstract:In this article, Navajo patriarchy is examined. Navajo patriarchy is evident in various spaces on the Navajo Nation such as government, leadership, ceremonies, music, sports, home, and relationships. Navajo men and women throughout the many generations prior to settler colonialism followed an egalitarian and complementary way of life. Men and women knew their roles and responsibilities to each other and the community. For the past few hundred years, Navajo men adopted patriarchy to protect their power and authority by declaring certain Navajo spaces as male oriented and traditional even though that was not the case. This article analyzes and discusses the spaces.

Abstract:Academia has failed to adequately address the negative impacts of Indian play traditions at Mardi Gras in Black communities of New Orleans. Too many scholars frame Mardi Gras Indian play as completely or mostly coalitional and even anti-racist. This article argues that Indian play in Black expressive culture is more pervasive than has been acknowledged, and that it mirrors and reinforces Indian play in hegemonic expressive culture. Rather than pathologizing Black expressive culture, however, the article suggests that scholars use a relational frame to think about Indian play in Black expressive culture as taking place in a field of meaning generated by Whites more than Indians. Such an approach demonstrates the negative impacts of Mardi Gras Indian play, pushes scholars to take Indigenous peoples more seriously as contemporary subjects, and calls for us all to dream a better future together.

Abstract:This article proposes the first systematic analysis of the celestial narrative structures visualized by the hard-edge abstractions of Rita Letendre (b. 1928), elucidating their nimble translation of spoken word into nonrepresentational visual form. It explores the artist’s fluent negotiation between the star stories of her Abenaki and Iroquoian cultural heritage and modernist visual rhetorics. In their Indigenization of the 1969 Apollo moon landing, Letendre’s “arrow” paintings perform a decolonizing intervention within the territorial contest that propelled the Space Race. Letendre’s astral abstractions are contextualized within the storytelling conventions of Eastern Woodlands ethnoastronomies as well as the cosmototemic statements of fellow Indigenous modernists Alex Janvier (b. 1935) and Leon Polk Smith (1906–1996). Like Smith, Letendre Indigenizes Euro-American historiographies of abstraction, reimagining the allegorical origins of painting for contemporary viewers.
摘要:本文首次系统地分析了丽塔·勒滕雷(1928)的硬派抽象文学所描绘的天界叙事结构,阐明了他们将口头语言巧妙地转化为非具象的视觉形式。它探索了艺术家在她的阿本拿基和易洛魁文化遗产的明星故事与现代主义视觉修辞之间的流畅协商。Letendre的“箭”画对1969年阿波罗登月进行了本土化,在推动太空竞赛的领土竞赛中进行了非殖民化干预。Letendre的星体抽象概念是在东部林地民族天文学的讲故事惯例以及土著现代主义者Alex Janvier(生于1935年)和Leon Polk Smith(1906-1996年)的宇宙图腾陈述中被语境化的。像史密斯一样,Letendre将欧美的抽象史学本土化,为当代观众重新想象绘画的寓言起源。

Abstract:Borderlands studies have expanded how scholars understand interactions between Euro-Americans and Indigenous nations. However, borderlands did not only exist where Euro-Americans were present. “Relations Across the Lands” argues that Indigenous borderlands existed between tribes and that these Indigenous borderlands functioned differently from borderlands between empires and Native nations. Relationships rested at the center of boundaries, identity, and who could access vital environmental gifts. This article demonstrates the presence of these Indigenous borderlands by examining a case study of the westward movement of the Ojibwe during the eighteenth century and their resulting interactions with the Dakota. The framework of Indigenous borderlands can help decolonize historical narratives and illuminate understudied aspects of Indigenous lifeways further centering Indigenous narratives.

Abstract:This essay locates shared protocols, procedures, and practices between Indigenous documentary filmmaking and Indigenous research methodologies in order to understand how studying intersections like these might contribute to the development of theory and method in Native American and Indigenous studies. Indigenous documentary film and Indigenous research occupy separate areas of inquiry infrequently cross- referenced in scholarship, but strong family resemblances between them exist that signal mutual relevance and utility with the potential to open new channels between heretofore distinct fields. The central case study of the American Indian Tribal Histories Project is an interview conducted specifically for this essay with Northern Cheyenne filmmaker Francine D.

This essay presents the interview in full in order to place the process Spang-Willis developed to complete the American Indian Tribal Histories Project into conversation with the work of Indigenous research scholars Linda Tuhiwai Smith (Ngati Awa/Ngati Porou), Shawn Wilson (Cree), Jo-Ann Archibald (Sto:lo), Margaret Kovach (Cree/Métis) to show how Indigenous documentary filmmaking enacts and performs instances of Indigenous research methods just as Indigenous research methodologies can be utilized to develop techniques of reading and critical analysis suitable for the Indigenous arts and humanities.
摘要:本文定位了土著纪录片制作和土著研究方法之间的共同协议、程序和实践,以了解研究这些交叉点如何有助于美洲土著和土著研究的理论和方法的发展。土著纪录片和土著研究占据了不同的研究领域,在学术研究中很少相互引用,但它们之间存在着强烈的家族相似性,这表明它们之间存在相互关联和效用,有可能在迄今为止不同的领域之间开辟新的渠道。美国印第安部落历史项目的中心案例研究是专门为本文采访的北夏延族电影制作人弗朗辛·d·斯潘-威利斯(Francine D. Spang-Willis)关于AITHP的采访,以及与之相关的关于北夏延族和克罗族历史和文化的两个系列纪录片。本文完整地呈现了这次采访,以便将斯潘-威里斯为完成美国印第安部落历史项目而开发的过程与土著研究学者琳达·图希瓦伊·史密斯(Ngati Awa/Ngati Porou)、肖恩·威尔逊(Cree)、乔·安·阿奇博尔德(Sto:lo)、Margaret Kovach (Cree/ m录影带),展示原住民纪录片制作如何制定和执行原住民研究方法的实例,就像原住民研究方法可以用来发展适合原住民艺术和人文的阅读和批判性分析技术一样。
