This article examines the claims to an Indigenous identity made by the four state-recognized Abenaki tribes in Vermont through an analysis of their petition for federal acknowledgement (1982–2005) and applications for state recognition (2010–2012). A detailed analysis of their claims demonstrates that the tribes are not Abenaki, but instead, represent the descendants of French Canadians who immigrated to the Champlain Valley of northwestern Vermont in the mid-nineteenth century. In this case study of what the anthropologist Circe Sturm has called “race shifting,” I demonstrate how the politics of recognition, which do not include the kin-making and relations of Indigenous nations, serve the interests of settler colonialism under the guise of decolonization. I attribute the emergence of race shifting along three vectors: the move away from white identity post-Civil Rights era; the lack of a tribal presence in Vermont; and the flaws in the state recognition process.

This article describes the health-care access experiences of Indigenous members of a Gulf Coast, non-federally recognized tribe. Research exploring the experiences of non-federally recognized tribes is needed, as these tribes lack resources available to federally recognized tribes. Using a qualitative description research approach and through partnership with a community advisory board, thirty-one semi-structured life-course interviews were conducted with women tribal members. A qualitative descriptive analytic approach revealed the following key themes: First Health-Care Experiences; Going to Family Members for Health Care; Going to Indigenous Healers for Health Care and; Generational Changes in the Transmission of Traditional Knowledge. Our findings highlight the role that family members and Indigenous healers play in addressing health-care gaps and needs for tribal members. In addition, results suggest that Indigenous healers are respected, valued members of the community, and there is concern that healing knowledge is not being passed down to future generations. This research addresses a gap in the need for holistic understandings of Indigenous women’s reproductive and sexual health care, which is required for the development of interventions which not only address social justice issues and weaknesses in the health-care system, but that also promote the existing strengths and resources in Indigenous communities.

The oil-producing regions of western Pennsylvania and New York are legendary as the birthplace of the modern petroleum industry; as with any narrative of American origins, it is important to scrutinize the role of racism and colonialism in establishing narratives that render Indigenous people as ghosts, guides, or givers who facilitate white access to resources while fading into a mythical past. Such narratives certainly proliferated in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century popular press, where petroleum was initially known by its regional moniker, “Seneca Oil,” and dreams of “Indian spirits” were said to lead prospectors to successful holes. The reality was that the Seneca people waged active legal and political battles to secure their rights to land, resources, and sacred sites in Pennsylvania and New York throughout the height of the oil boom. Their historical relationship with oil as a healing natural substance led leaders to preserve the Oil Spring Territory between 1797 and 1801; a century later, Seneca leaders engaged in ever-more complex negotiations with white-owned oil companies, and wound up in an existential fight against the Americans attempting to liquidate their treaty-protected territories.

In 1985, Haunani-Kay Trask visited Aotearoa contributing critical perspectives to a Pacific studies conference at the University of Auckland. Observing the disturbing absence of Indigenous women speakers at the conference, Dr. Trask finished her keynote early, giving her remaining time to two Māori women, Atareta Poananga and Titewhai Harawira. As a group of Indigenous Pacific women negotiating our own place in the academy, this conscious political act is one of many forms of Haunani-Kay Trask’s activism that has inspired us. From various parts of Te Moana Nui a Kiwa, we come together to weave stories of our engagements in the intellectual and activist work of Haunani-Kay Trask. In distinctive ways, we acknowledge Dr. Trask’s legacy and reflect on the inspiration and insight that her work has provided for us as Native daughters of the Pacific and as emerging scholars. Drawing on our own unique sea, land, and skyscapes, our histories of colonialism and resistance, and our creative and intellectual journeys, we share the multiplicity of ways in which Haunani-Kay Trask’s work speaks to our hearts and minds. Reflecting on her work as a scholar, poet, and activist, we weave together our words of respect, love, and admiration, and we consider the ways in which her scholarship continues to have ongoing relevance to us all.
1985年，Haunani-Kay Trask访问了奥特罗阿，为奥克兰大学的太平洋研究会议提供了批判性的观点。观察到会议上没有土著女性演讲者，查斯克博士很早就结束了她的主题演讲，把剩下的时间留给了两位Māori女性，阿塔雷塔·普南加(Atareta Poananga)和蒂特怀·哈拉维拉(titwhai Harawira)。作为一群太平洋原住民妇女，我们在学院中争取自己的地位，这种有意识的政治行为是Haunani-Kay Trask的许多形式的行动主义之一，它激励了我们。我们聚集在一起，编织我们参与Haunani-Kay Trask的知识分子和活动家工作的故事，这些故事来自Moana Nui a Kiwa的各个地方。我们以独特的方式承认查斯克博士的遗产，并反思她的工作为我们这些太平洋原住民女儿和新兴学者提供的灵感和洞察力。凭借我们独特的海洋、陆地和天空景观，我们的殖民主义和抵抗历史，以及我们的创意和智慧之旅，我们分享了Haunani-Kay Trask的作品以多种方式与我们的心灵和思想对话。回顾她作为学者、诗人和活动家的工作，我们将尊重、热爱和钦佩的话语编织在一起，我们认为她的奖学金继续与我们所有人息息相关。

Adding to her profound legacy of resistance to colonization and activism for Hawai‘i and Kānaka Maoli, this essay pays tribute to Haunani-Kay Trask and explores the ways in which her various creative and scholarly publications can be used as theories and methodologies in a growing area of study called Indigenous Pacific feminisms. This paper acknowledges that, though Trask disavowed herself from feminism toward the latter part of her life, it is critical to share the significance of her contributions to Indigenous Pacific feminisms as shaping “baskets of resilience” for students, organizers, and decolonial dreamers in the Pacific and diaspora.
