Editors' Remarks K. Tsianina Lomawaima and Kelly McDonough we write these remarks in March 2023 as we near the end of our four-year term as NAIS journal coeditors; you will read these remarks when volume 10, no. 2 is published in the fall, after the journal's editorial offices have moved from the University of Texas at Austin to the University of Victoria in British Columbia. We are thrilled that the journal is moving into the capable hands of coeditors Heidi Kiiwetinepinesiik Stark and Gina Starblanket. We are confident that the journal will continue to excel and innovate under their exemplary leadership. It has been an honor and a joy to help guide the journal through the last four years, from volume 7, no. 1 (2020) through volume 10, no. 2 (2023). We are grateful to the many committed members of the journal's editorial board who have supported and enhanced the work of the journal. Two developments in our term were sparked by editorial board conversations and could not have been accomplished without their labor. The first project was to revise the journal's peer review guidelines to reflect and embody Indigenous values of collegiality, kindness, generosity, and constructive encouragement to reach the highest levels of intellectual integrity and analysis. The second project began with conversations about how to support and encourage emerging and early-career scholars to publish and resulted in the establishment in 2021 of the journal's Writing Fellowship (see https://naisa.org/journal-nais/nais-fellowship/). Editorial board members oversee the application and selection process and work with the coeditors to recruit mentors for four to seven writing projects to support. Fellows are paired with mentors from the NAIS editorial board or NAISA membership, with whom they work for an academic year to move their writing project toward submission for publication. The coeditors arrange (virtual) gatherings to discuss issues such as vetting journals, submission guidelines, the peer-review process, and the journey of a manuscript through the editorial process from submission to publication. Our editorial term was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the movement of NAISA annual meetings to an online platform for two years, but it is the intention of the program to bring fellows and mentors together annually at the NAISA meeting. [End Page 1] During our term at the journal, we added the section "Teaching Native American and Indigenous Studies." This teaching category joins the journal's other categories of research articles: "Notes from the Field," "Intervention," and "Reviews." Whereas "Teaching" and "Notes from the Field" manuscripts are submitted by authors for consideration, "Intervention" consists of invited manuscripts, or sets of manuscripts, on issues of import to our readership. In volume 8, no. 1, working with prior NAIS editors Jean O'Brien and Robert Warrior, we recruited thirteen essays from a variety of perspectives for the "Intervention" s

S P R I N G & F A L L 2 0 2 0 W I C A Z O S A R E V I E W Greyeyes starts this book with an example familiar to many community members, which is a collision of interests in a public Diné forum on education. Any Diné person knows and has likely attended one of these forums. This example illustrates an ongoing theme of the book: the intersecting mess of authority that affects the education system and its legacy within the larger context of Native nations and the US government. This book aims to demystify and contextualize one of the longest and most frustrating institutions within the Navajo Nation— education— making an important contribution to the ways that decolonial theory can be put into practice institutionally and politically. Chapter 1 focuses on the meaning and practice of decolonization within American Indian communities and how this theory might be applied to the particular example of Diné education. I admit that the mess of jurisdictions, agencies, acronyms, and stakeholders was confusing in the beginning. However, I found that Greyeyes purposefully avoided the trap of presenting a tidy timeline of events, which would be a disservice to the complexity. The most important moment for me in chapter 1 is when she argues that Diné people typically focus on the future and generations A History of Navajo Nation Education: Disentangling Our Sovereign Body by Wendy Shelly Greyeyes University of Arizona Press, 2022

Abstract:Bannock, a simple bread made of water, flour, and lard—fried or baked—is a staple of Indigenous diets across what is now called Canada. A pan-Indigenous symbol, bannock is a historically dynamic food grounded in both European and Indigenous origins. On both counts, it presents a paradox to the settler imagination, which clings to fixed definitions of Indigenous Peoplehood essentialized in precontact traditions. For Métis, however, bannock is no paradox. Neither its European origins nor its diverse forms and composition across time and place cause confusion. Rather, in oral history interviews Métis positioned bannock as a critical component that sustained a Métis identity through the twentieth century. Bannock offers important lessons for understanding the place of Métis within Canadian history and reveals how Métis mediated state interventions into Indigeneity in the 1980s. Tracing this historical trajectory, I suggest a useful inversion of Mark Rifkin's concept of settler common sense to focus on what I call a Métis common sense; that is, those aspects of a Métis livedness that were obvious for Métis. I follow other Métis writers who have proposed the kitchen table as a site of Métis identity survivance that functions as an alternative to public, androcentric expressions of Métis-ness legible to Canadian recognition politics. Métis interviewees negotiated with, and simultaneously rejected, essentialist assumptions of their Indigeneity. Interviewees understood bannock as a key marker of kinship sustained through female labor and activism within a matrilocal Métis Peoplehood.
