  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Native American representation in museums : a cross cultural comparison of the effects of cultural resources laws Author: Thorsgard, Misty The image of Native Americans in the United States has changed through the passage of time. Part of this change is directly related to the representation of their cultures in a museum setting and the inception of cultural resource laws that govern them. This research looks at four museums, two in the United States and two in the United Kingdom, and compares their representation of Native Americans. Unlike museums in the United States, museums in the United Kingdom do not have to comply with laws that protect source communities. A source community is defined as the original group that an object found in a museum setting originates. Laws like the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (1990) have shaped the relationship between museums and Native Americans in the United States. It has fostered a deeper understanding of Native American worldviews in American museum displays. This research demonstrates how American museums have changed the way they plan for and create displays about Native Americans because of cultural resource laws. This research reveals three movements in the United States that have occurred, due in part to cultural resource laws. First, the dichotomy between museums’ relationship to their visitors in comparison to their responsibilities to source communities and how this has shifted; second, funding and the power struggle it has created in museums. Third, the issue of repatriation of objects, both nationally and internationally, due to the variety of opinions that surround this topic; and how this demonstrates a better working relationship with Native Americans in the United States, and is cause for great strife for the United Kingdom and other countries. These three illuminate the uneven relationship between museums and Native Americans and how cultural resource laws in the United States have begun to alter this relationship. NAGPRA has helped to reestablish Native Americans’ legal authority over their culture in the United States.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Field sensitivity of Native American students at Oregon State University, as determined by the group embedded figures test Author: Pelto, Joan McAlmond Historically, Native American students have not achieved academic success; ethnic and racial stereotypes are common explanations for the problem. Many perceive the Native American student to be lacking either academic preparation or socio-cultural support for success. A review of the literature showed emerging research which indicates that significant differences can be shown between the learning styles of Native American students and their non-Native counterparts. It has been claimed that these differences may account for some of the differences in academic achievement. The purpose of this study was an attempt to document more thoroughly the differences between the learning styles of Native American and non-Native university students, employing the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT). The GEFT measures degree of field sensitivity, a measure of the degree to which an individual is affected by the surrounding environment or situation within which learning is to take place. It has been postulated that Native American children tend to be reared in a culture which promotes field dependent learning styles. Conversely, children reared in families promoting strong individual identity tend to be more field independent. The results of administering the GEFT to a group of Native American university students and to a comparison group of non-Native students supported the theory. A numerical difference of 2.1, on a scale of 1 to 18, was found between the mean scores of the two study groups with the Native American students scoring in the more field dependent domain. The mean score for the Native American student study group was 9.7, while that for the comparison group was 11.8. In addition to ethnic differences, the data from this study showed differences from previously established norms both by age and gender. Based on the results of this study, educators may be urged to consider the style in which a student learns before categorizing him or her as academically deficient. Further study of learning styles of Native American students and concommitantly of teaching styles which are best suited to Native American students is recommended.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The potential use of GIS as a tool for communicating risk information to American Indian tribes: a consideration of the ethical implications Author: Lizon, K. Michele American Indians presently face health risks posed by exposure to environmental pollutants through different exposure routes including: inhalation (e.g., air particles), ingestion (e.g., fish, water), and dermal contact (e.g., contact with water, soil). Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are increasingly being used in the Environmental Health arena as a tool for communicating risk information to Native American populations. GIS-based risk maps can display risk information to Native Americans in a manner that helps reduce risks and protect a traditional tribal lifestyle. GIS-based research involving a Native American community requires careful consideration of ethical issues relating to sovereignty and ownership of data. Using a case study approach, this paper evaluates the use of GIS as a tool for communicating risks to Native Americans and recommends moral guidelines for conducting GIS-based research in a Native American community. The use of GIS-based risk maps in Native American communities is relatively new and warrants further research.

The first part of the project broadly examines the field of graphic design as it relates to Native Americans, discussing the lack of Native voices in graphic design, what designing for Native Americans can entail, the role of Native lifeways in design, design barriers and solutions, as well as opportunities and examples. The second part of the project explores designing for a specific Native American audience: Anishinabek youth. A need for positive representation via clothing is discussed, establishing the goal of infusing modern urban wear with a Native perspective. Anishinabek culture is examined, culminating in a series of clothing designs.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Traditional medicine and self-determination in resolving mental health problems among southwest Oregon native Americans Author: Otis, Alison Taylor Native Americans in southwest Oregon are a heterogenous group comprising one-quarter of the state's total Indian population. Despite their notable size, Native Americans in this six county area are either ineligible for, or inaccessible to, federally sponsored Indian health facilities available to Native peoples elsewhere. Research was conducted over an eight month period to determine the prevalence of Native American mental health problems, rates of service utilization, and cultural appropriateness of available services. For thesis study, inquiries focused on use of traditional medicine and Indian providers as viable alternatives to the established non-Indian mental health system. Under the supervision of the Southwest Oregon Indian Health Project, interviews were held with service providers, clients, and members of local Indian populations. Results show that southwest Oregon Native Americans underutilize county mental health facilities due to real and/or perceived barriers to treatment. Among these are cultural barriers in which non-Indian therapists do not, or are unable to, respond appropriately to tradition-oriented Indian clients. An exception is the alcohol programs which Native Americans use more often. It is clear that participation in these programs is greater due to the higher prevalence of alcohol problems, increased cultural sensitivity among staff, and differing attitudes toward being alcoholic as opposed to "crazy". Three Indian-specific alcohol programs within or adjacent to the service area are particularly attractive to Native American clients. Native peoples frequently expressed interests in developing their own programs, accessing traditional medicine people, and having more input within the existing county system. Indian alcohol programs have become a rallying place for Indian self-determination in mental health care because they adhere to Native beliefs and values, and are refuges for traditionally- oriented providers and clients. Unfortunately, their existence is tenuously linked to non-Indian funding sources and regulations -- a situation difficult to improve from either side. Research conclusions indicate that Native American mental health treatment is in a transitional period. A resurgence of interest in the use of traditional medicine has been part of the transition. Improved legislation for Indian health care and religious freedom have contributed to the articulation and organization of Native American concerns. Answers to self-determination in southwest Oregon Native American mental health care will become more evident as Pan- Indian issues are resolved and communities develop better communications and referral networks with local Indian populations. Infringing economic constraints can be alleviated if community treatment facilities use more sensitive, personalized outreach to Native Americans in their areas, and if they allow them greater control in determining traditional treatment alternatives.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Native American women : leadership, activism, and feminism Author: Cole, Spirit Dine'tah In fulfilling their traditional roles as leaders in their communities, American Indian women are often at the core of American Indian resistance and struggles for liberation. Native women have a long history of assuming leadership positions within their particular tribes. Their struggles share many of the characteristics of women's struggles associated with feminism in the larger society, yet many Native American women explicitly reject the label of feminism. This paper explores the reasons some Native women do embrace feminism and why others do not. Through an analysis of literature, cross-cultural research, and in-depth narrative interviews, I examined feminism and its compatibility with Native American female resistance. My framework is critical, it takes into account the historical oppression of Native peoples, as well as relative exclusion of Native women in the existing feminist research. What became apparent upon interviewing Native women activists for this paper was the long history of leadership by women within Native American tribes. What is very apparent from both the existing literature by Native American women and conducted with Native American women is that, despite their more central position in their societies, traditional Native women interviewed tend not to view themselves as feminist. An important theme running through the interviews and apparent from the literature reviewed was despite the fact that Native women in general do not have equality of opportunity within larger American society in terms of economic resources, employment, education, health care, etc. (see Churchill, 1993 and Stiffarm and Lane, 1992), and in many cases are solely responsible for the survival of their families (see Jaimes and Halsey, 1992 and La Duke, 1993), Native women do not view their struggles for more power within their communities and larger society as being incompatible with the primacy of home and family.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Night dreamer walks Author: Groves, John M. (John Martin) In Night Dreamer Walks, the first eight chapters of a novel of the same name, John M. Groves imagines the predicament of a young Native American man living 8,000 years ago in Oregon's Klamath Basin. Beginning as a story to avenge his father's death during an unusual outbreak of tribal violence, the novel explores the protagonist's growing involvement in healing and witchcraft practices. The author crafts a prehistoric world by drawing on ethnographic accounts, indigenous mythology, archaeology, and contemporary Native American life. The journey of the protagonist, Night, to the ocean and back becomes a movement across the topography of greed, tradition, transformation, and morality.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Hearing their voices : college experiences of urban American Indian women Author: Berry, Linda Converse The purpose of this study is to explore, through their own voices, the higher education experiences of selected urban American Indian females in California community colleges. This study is an attempt to identify pathways to academic success by teasing out college practices and support systems that help Native women navigate educational paths in community colleges. Five urban Native women were selected through convenience sampling to participate in in-depth interviews that reveal their college-going experiences in community colleges in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California. A narrative inquiry research design was used in this qualitative study as a means to uncover the lived experience of these Native women in California community colleges. Their stories, in their own voices, reveal how they were assisted or hampered in their pursuit of education goals. Six themes in common emerged from their stories: 1. Perseverance in Higher Education 2. Academic Aptitude and Success 3. Institutional Support 4. Challenges and Barriers 5. Native American Identity and Self-Image 6. Invisibility and Isolation The exploration of challenges, barriers, and institutional support that influenced academic success for these five women assists community college leaders in understanding ways in which those challenges and barriers can be overcome. An intended outcome of this study is to influence instructional and student support practices in order to expand opportunities for success for Native women.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: An Analysis of Community Attributes Likely to Result in School Districts Repealing Native American Mascots Author: Miller, Alethia T. Michigan’s State Department of Education issued a resolution in 2003 calling for all public K-12 schools to repeal their American Indian mascots and in 2013 the Michigan Department of Civil Rights filed a complaint with the United States Department of Education in response to school districts failing to do so. There is much research to suggest that race based mascots not only stigmatize a minority population, but negatively contribute to Indian education and falsely portray Native American culture. Using Michigan school districts and data provided by the American Community Survey, this research sheds light on a larger policy question: what factors influence communities to repeal the mascot and what characteristics do these communities have in common? Out of the 48 school districts in Michigan with an Indian mascot, seven repealed their Indian mascots after the resolution passed. This research uses ten samples, drawing 21 cases from the 48 school districts and uses difference-in-means tests to measure the significance between the mean variables of interest (referenced below) and the group classification of whether the mascot was repealed. Using online media sources, this research also uses qualitative analysis to further identify factors influencing the repeal in three school districts. This research finds that average Native American population, educational attainment and poverty level play no significant relationship in repealing the mascots in school districts. My research suggests that drawing conclusions of communities is near impossible due to the challenge in evaluating factors that cannot be easily quantified on a systematic level. This data was largely limited by a small sample size of Michigan school districts and a small sample of districts who actually repealed their Native American mascots.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The attitudes of Oregon State Penitentiary minority inmates towards activity programs as a rehabilitative tool Author: McIntosh, Mathew Allen The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of three Oregon State Penitentiary minority inmate groups - Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans - towards the Activities Programs as a rehabilitative tool. Two other purposes were to (1) determine significant differences among group attitudes, and (2) determine the degree to which each group accepted/rejected rehabilitation achievement. A survey questionnaire of fifty items representing rehabilitation achievement, validated by Delphi technique, was amended for language simplicity and field tested. Instruments were distributed to participating inmates randomly selected from the Oregon State Penitentiary inmate registry. A one-way analysis of variance was applied for analysis of data and hypothesis testing. The Student-Newman-Keuls' test was used where significance was achieved at the .05 level or beyond. The Chi-square technique was also used to determine the degree to which rehabilitation achievement was attained among the three groups. Findings and Conclusions The one-way analysis of variance indicated that no significant difference existed in thirty of the fifty items. As a result of the findings, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) Black attitudes were significantly different than Native Americans and Hispanic attitudes regarding rehabilitation achievement through program management. (2) Blacks' attitudes were significantly different than Native Americans regarding rehabilitation achievement through facility provision. (3) Black and Hispanic attitudes were significantly different than Native Americans regarding rehabilitative achievement through personal habits/participation. (4) Black attitudes were evenly split on the concept of rehabilitation achievement for the Activities Program. (5) Hispanic attitudes rejected slightly the concept of rehabilitation achievement for the Activities Program. (6) Native Americans rejected the concept of rehabilitation achievement for the Activities Program.

A survey questionnaire of fifty items representing rehabilitation achievement, validated by Delphi technique, was amended for language simplicity and field tested. Instruments were distributed to participating inmates randomly selected from the Oregon State Penitentiary inmate registry. A one-way analysis of variance was applied for analysis of data and hypothesis testing. The Student-Newman-Keuls' test was used where significance was achieved at the .05 level or beyond. The Chi-square technique was also used to determine the degree to which rehabilitation achievement was attained among the three groups. Findings and Conclusions The one-way analysis of variance indicated that no significant difference existed in thirty of the fifty items. As a result of the findings, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) Black attitudes were significantly different than Native Americans and Hispanic attitudes regarding rehabilitation achievement through program management. (2) Blacks' attitudes were significantly different than Native Americans regarding rehabilitation achievement through facility provision. (3) Black and Hispanic attitudes were significantly different than Native Americans regarding rehabilitative achievement through personal habits/participation. (4) Black attitudes were evenly split on the concept of rehabilitation achievement for the Activities Program. (5) Hispanic attitudes rejected slightly the concept of rehabilitation achievement for the Activities Program. (6) Native Americans rejected the concept of rehabilitation achievement for the Activities Program. Close

In an effort to find out how to better serve these children and their families, the current study involved interviews with 11 social service providers chosen because of their knowledge about ways services could be more effectively be tailored to the needs of Native Americans in Klamath County. Respondents’ insight informed a number of policy recommendations for the Klamath Tribes and their community partners addressing child maltreatment that are organized here into two concepts: cultural competence and standpoint theory. First, cultural competence calls service providers to learn about ways that some clients may have different needs than others and find ways to provide the tools each child and family needs to be successful. Second, standpoint theory is applied to show that understanding problems with services and the system as a whole from the point of view of the Klamath Tribes, as well as seeking solutions from the same, has the potential to improve outcomes not only for tribal children experiencing maltreatment and their families, but for all families receiving services.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Melee at the Edge of Empire: The Manifestation of the Reservation System in Southwest and Western Oregon 1850-1875 Author: Alves, Richard W. The purpose of this thesis is to explain why the reservation system manifested so disappointingly for the Native American groups of Southwest Oregon. It seeks to characterize the struggle that raged in Southwest Oregon from 1850 to 1856 between three main groups there: indigenous peoples, white squatters and miners, and Indian Office officials. It shows how rapidly changing demographics affected Indian-white relations in Oregon, especially with regard to the implementation of Indian Office reservation policy. This paper hopes to answer why the actual reservation system strayed so far from its ideological base, relying especially on letters and reports between Indian Office officials. It basically argues that the reasons for the Indian Office’s departure with its original theories are complex and multifold; they include the contradictory nature of Indian Office promises and the Land Donation Act, broken promises and treaties by white officials, local white neglect of dictates from distant bureaucratic bodies, and ultimately the escalation of racial and territorial hostilities into all-out violence and war. In short, this paper chronicles the relationship between federal reservation policy and the Native American peoples of Southwest Oregon from roughly 1850 through the second reduction of the Coast Reservation in 1875. It interrogates the changing nature of this relationship, and attempts to answer why it played out the way it did in Southwest and Western Oregon, as well as elsewhere throughout the West.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Takelma and their Athapascan kin : an ethnographic synthesis of southwestern Oregon Author: Gray, Dennis J. This study is a synthesis of the available ethnographic and relevant archaeological data pertaining to the Native American groups who formerly occupied the upper Rogue River drainage of southwestern Oregon. The information presented in this synthesis concerns the material, social and religious aspects of aboriginal life as practiced by the Takelma of the Rogue River Valley, and their culturally akin Athapascan-neighbors, the Da-ku-be-te-de (Applegate River group) and the Tal-tuc-tun-te-da (Galice Creek group). The ethnographic material is representative of the time period immediately prior to the subjugation of these Native Americans, and their subsequent removal from southwestern Oregon in the 1850s; however, this synthesis has applications to a much greater time period in regional prehistory. Significant new information, extracted from the field notes of J. P. Harrington, Melville Jacobs and P. E. Goddard, adds to what has already been published concerning the lifeways of these Native American cultures, as well as clarifying territorial boundary questions in the region. This study is intended to aid and facilitate the anthropological research of southwestern Oregon prehistory, as well as to propose new directions for future research.

In addition, it was important to learn how these experiences contributed to their success, satisfaction or dissatisfaction, and overall quality of life during that first year. To answer these questions a mixed method research approach was used that included an online survey sent only to current, undergraduate, Native students and personal interviews with current, undergraduate, Native students. The online survey and personal interviews gave students an opportunity to disclose the types of experiences and challenges, campus involvement, and overall satisfaction they have had at OSU. Native students identified time management, financial costs, class/educational work, and missing family as major challenges during their first year on campus. Additionally, students identified positive relationships with faculty and/or advisors, having financial resources from tribal governments, the ability to be involved with student groups, and having a Longhouse as reasons for their success during their first year. As a result of these findings institutions can develop and provide intentional and appropriate programming and services to assist Native American and Alaskan Native students during their first year of college.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Imagining them, reimagining ourselves : a case study of cultural appropriation and the politics of identity Author: Smith-Nolan, Mary K. Several popular cultural movements emphasizing indigenous spirituality have arisen in the United States and Europe within the past thirty years. Spiritual discourses attributed to Native Americans, among other groups, are borrowed by Euro-Americans in search of alternatives to dominant ideologies. In such a circumstance, Native Americans become part of a constructed and colonized homogenous category of indigenous people, considered by Euro-Americans as naturally close to the earth and essentially spiritual. The so-called New Age movement has, within it, several sub-movements, which are particularly noted for their emphasis on perceived Native American spiritualism. The Red Cedar Circle, made up primarily of white Americans, focuses on the Si.si.wiss Medicine of the Pacific Northwest Coast, and can be described as falling under the definitional heading of the New Age. The suppression and transformation of the heterogeneous reality of indigenous societies by the imaginings of the Euro-American dominant, has many ethical implications, as does cultural appropriation in a situation of major power differentials. Native communities are becoming increasingly outspoken in their opposition to the practice of Indian, or pseudo-Indian, religions by non-Natives. Many consider such practices to be morally suspect. Both Native and non-Native social critics feel that New Age practitioners involved in appropriated and popularized versions of indigenous religions, are interpreting and using aspects of traditionally subjugated cultures to meet their own needs. What may appear to be a harmless search for enlightenment by Europeans and Euro-Americans might have very real negative consequences for actual Native American lives. This study is based on participant observation of the Corvallis, Oregon Red Cedar Circle, and interviews with its members from June of 1991 to April of 1994. Analysis of data from New Age literature was also conducted, as well as an historical overview of the 'Nobel Savage' myth in Western cultures. Interviews with members of the local Native American community were carried out for feedback on how a given population of Native Americans perceives the Euro-American practice of Native spirituality. The data supports the supposition that cultural borrowing, or appropriation, is both a cause of, and a reaction to, the instability of cultural identity in late twentieth-century America.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Archival anthropometry : an analysis of the anthropometric data of Native American children gathered by Franz Boas, 1888-1902 Author: Kirkpatrick, Kristin A. Franz Boas collected anthropometric data on approximately 15,000 people from over 200 Native American tribal groups between 1888 and 1902. Twelve basic measurements were taken: standing height, shoulder height, height to digit III, arm span, sitting height, shoulder width, head length and width, face height and breadth, and nose height and breadth. At the turn of the century, Boas was unable to efficiently analyze these data. With computers now commonplace, several investigations of the adult anthropometric data have been undertaken in recent years; however, analysis of the child anthropometric data has not been undertaken. This study analyzes child anthropometric data from Western North America, giving special emphasis to children on the Siletz and Klamath Reservations. More specifically, this study investigates the occurrence of morphological differences in Native American children as a result of living within the reservation system. It is well known that environmental factors play a crucial role in child growth and development, and the effect of those factors can be measured through anthropometry. Differences in the growth and development of the children on each reservation can be related to their unique histories. An investigation of the literature and records kept by the Bureau of Indian Affairs reveals differing socioeconomic conditions on the Siletz and Klamath Reservations. Both reservations failed agriculturally, but while many Klamath became successful in cattle raising and logging, the Siletz were unable to fully enter these lucrative occupations. Additionally, the unratified treaties of many Siletz tribes left the reservation without adequate support from the government, while the Klamath received rations and supplies as stipulated by their ratified treaty. Descriptive statistics and growth distance curves reveal that the Klamath are shorter than the total sample of Western North American Indians, and the Siletz, particularly the males, are shorter than the Klamath. The shorter stature is due to the proportionately shorter legs of the Siletz, a finding that is consistent with other studies of populations living in depressed socioeconomic conditions.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Kalispel Tribe of Indian’s Contemporary Usage of Traditional Foodways Author: Hilborn, Alexander M. Native American traditional foodways serve as one of the most important resources for indigenous communities because these resources provide a variety of non-physical cultural assets and health benefits to Native groups through the medium of food. The demolition of North America’s foodways through colonization has had adverse effects on indigenous communities ranging from chronic diseases to a breakdown of cultural practices and societal cohesion. This study looks to understand how the people of the Kalispel Tribe interact with their traditional foodways through a series of survey questions and ethnographic interviews to ascertain the importance of traditional food resources to a tribe in a modern context. The Kalispel Tribe has a reservation on the Pend Oreille River and consists of 457 enrolled members and additional unenrolled community members. The survey generated 25 responses and three informants provided ethnographic interviews. Like many tribes, the traditional foods of the Kalispel remain a key part of tribal life and have associated meanings and values that relate to the biological, societal, and cultural health of the community. Insuring the viability of traditional foodways and their beneficial properties represents a way for the Kalispel and other indigenous communities to combat food insecurity and practice self-determination through food sovereignty.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Prehistoric utilization of thermal springs in the Pacific Northwest Author: Griffin, Dennis, 1953- Natural thermal springs occur throughout the Pacific Northwest. The use and importance of this natural environmental feature to Native Americans prior to and during the period of initial white contact is examined. Ethnographic, archaeological, and oral historical information is described in an attempt to reconstruct the role of these naturally-heated springs. This information is examined in relation to the location and temperature of springs in an effort to discover what influence hot springs had on the settlement and subsistence patterns of the early inhabitants of the three cultural regions that constitute the Pacific Northwest (Northwest Coast, Plateau and Northern Great Basin). An analysis of this data is used to make an assessment of the value of thermal spring sites to the archaeological inventory. An analysis of the current interpretation of the term "cultural resource" is examined in its relationship to sites having no empirically obvious and associated cultural remains. An argument is presented for a reliance on off site data including ethnographic and oral historical accounts. The current status of thermal springs in the Northwest Region is reviewed in reference to modern Native American concerns over the development of this natural resource.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Blood, bondage and chains : a legacy of kinship between black-red people Author: Bertha, Clarissa My research is looking at the cultural and kinship ties of African and Native peoples and how our worlds were forged together by colonization, bonded during the institutionalize state of shackles and slavery and how the legacy of these tools of genocide are now tearing us apart. Being of mixed African and Native American heritage, I understand the significant role slavery and its aftermath has had on the identity and family connection of people of mixed African and Native Heritage. The disruption of the family and the destruction of identity are part of the legacy left by the institution of chattel slavery. Persons of mixed Native, African and European heritage are products of intertwined heritages that mark the manifestation of the slavery system and the impact the institution has had on how they choose to identify or are forced to identify. Because of the ingrained racialized practices of the United States, identity for persons of color is decided and based on phenotype characteristics of the individual. For a person of mixed heritage identity, description can be further hindered when their identity is measured and challenged by ethnic and racial standards of the larger White society. These standards and trends work their way into the lives and cultures of the smaller groups to the point that their identities no longer belong to them. As a way to maintain a small degree of control over their families and identities, families passed down oral renderings to each generation. Using a collection of oral histories and personal narrative, this study works to preserve information regarding familial and kinship ties between persons of Native and African American heritage. It examines how slavery, by Native Americans against African Americans, affects kinship ties, identity, and its role in the facilitation or hindrance of the transmission of familial and kinship knowledge of peoples of mixed Native and African American heritage.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Comparing Native Oral History and Scientific Research to Produce Historical Evidence Of Native Occupation During and After the Missoula Floods Author: Woodside, Gail J. The Missoula Floods occurred approximately fifteen thousand to thirteen thousand years ago during the last ice age. The floods occurred when waters held back by a finger of the Purcell Ice Lobe gave way allowing water which covered present day Missoula, Montana to inundate areas of Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. The flooding moved mass amounts of silt and aggregates on its way to the sea. The flooding also carved out and deepened the Columbia Gorge and caused slack water areas or temporary lakes to form when narrow channels backed up the flooding currents. Native American oral history tells about the flooding and the deep formation of the Columbia River, though some scientists feel that human occupation of the areas ravaged by the floods had not taken place. Native historians hold information regarding Tribal occupation of the areas flooded as well as information regarding survivability by noting techniques of survival and as well as significant peaks used as resting places until flood water subsided. Anthropological dating of the ancient Native people does point to human occupation of these lands with findings of human feces in caves found in Oregon dating approximately fifteen thousand years ago, although occupation by current tribes may not have occurred until later. An equation created out of the histories of Native people from the affected regions gives validity to survival by proving tensile rope strength on cedar ropes used as well as drag force on canoes under force by the moving water. The equation was populated by actual canoe dimensions from similarly made modern canoes. The strength of the ropes, drag force on the canoes, and comparison of the histories in regard to peaks and places for survivorship fit together in a time frame best described in geologic time for the people who emerged in the regions affected by the cataclysmic floods.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Traditional ecological knowledge to develop and maintain fire regimes in northwestern California, Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion : management and restoration of culturally significant habitats Author: Lake, Frank K. The use of Native American fire regimes evolved in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion over millennia. A mixture of Native American and Euro-American sociocultural management has developed from adaptations to climate, topography, ecological processes, and land use practices. This research incorporates Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to partially examine the role of tribal fire uses and ethnobotany. Research methods use an interdisciplinary approach to characterize fuels and fire management issues in culturally significant riparian and terrestrial habitats. Tribal fuels and fire management practices were investigated. Understanding past tribal fire management systems is needed to place contemporary Native American fuels and fire management issues in to context for government agencies and private interest that have altered tribal opportunities to continue fire uses. This study examined fire effects on sandbar willow (Salix exigua) in valley riparian zones along the lower mid-Klamath River. Prescribed fire was used to induce sprouting of sandbar willow and reduce insect populations to improve basket material quantity and quality. Results indicate that flooding had greater affects on the structure, composition, and abundance of vegetation and fuels than prescribed fire. A second experiment to compare the effect of propane burning and pruning sandbar willow indicated that propane burning was less effective than pruning to improve stem morphology for basket weaving. Consultation with tribal basket weavers and research of the proportion of useable willow shoots, amount of insect damage and the relationship of stem diameter and length revealed these attributes were important criteria for determining usability for weaving. This research also included other basketry plants. TEK is used to better understand fire effects on culturally significant resources and the consequences of fire suppression on terrestrial and riparian habitats. The mechanisms of how fire suppression impacts tribes, resources and tribal land uses are presented. Recommendations are presented for additional research to improve collaboration with tribes, tribal organizations and communities based on contemporary tribal values and priorities for fuels and fire management.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Federal Trust Responsibility and Treaty Protected Resources on Ceded Public Lands: A Huckleberry Case Study Author: Goschke, Lauren Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are an important aspect of the forest that has often been overlooked. NTFPs have been especially important to Native American people because of their subsistence, cultural, and economic values. As a result of their economic value, there have been an increased number of people harvesting NTFPs on public lands. In the Pacific Northwest, many Native American tribes have reserved treaty rights that guarantee that they can hunt fish and gather in usual and accustomed places. Many of these traditional food-gathering areas lie on what is now national forest land. As demand for NTFPs on public lands has increased, the U.S. Forest Service must find a way to reconcile its federal trust responsibility to the tribes with their responsibility to manage national forest lands for the general public. The research has focused on the ways in which the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) has gone about creating and implementing policies to fulfill the Trust responsibilities to the Tribes. Two case studies of treaty protected huckleberry harvests were conducted with two groups of Tribes and the associated National Forests where they exercise their treaty protected rights. The research involves an assessment of these policies and their implementation using two public policy frameworks: social construction and institutional rational choice. The majority of Forest Service offices in the Pacific Northwest have relied on informal agreements with the tribes to balance these responsibilities. Little formal policy has been created or implemented to manage user conflicts, and problems continue to plague NTFP management. These findings indicate that the USFS and the tribes need to find new ways of developing NTFP management policies that will satisfy tribal needs.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The effect of selected materials on the achievement of students in the intermediate grades in Native American cultural instruction Author: Paul, Mary Elaine Bowen Materials concerning ethnic and minority groups are a concern for many curriculum leaders. Inappropriate materials perpetuate stereotypes, in many cases due to a lack of study concerning the information within the materials. The materials concerning Native Americans typically presented in public school classrooms tend to overgeneralize information about the cultural groups of native people found in North America. This study addressed the content of materials pertaining to one specific group, the Native American of the Great Plains region. The researcher questioned the traditional curriculum materials found in the Kansas history program used in fourth, fifth, and sixth grade instruction, which concerned the Indians who resided in the area. Traditional materials addressed only the culture found after the horse was an established part of the culture of the native inhabitants. The prehistory of the native people before Anglo-Saxon intervention and the changes that occurred because of the introduction of the horse into the cultures of the Great Plains region was limited. Materials that contained descriptions of the history before white settlement and changes that occurred because of the horse were developed by the researcher. In an effort to determine the most suitable grade level to implement such curriculum, the researcher tested self-developed materials in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. A pretest posttest design was utilized for the study. Descriptive statistics were compiled for all data sets and for the total sample. Pretest mean scores and posttest mean scores for each grade level were compared employing a t-test for repeated measures. Analysis of covariance using pretest scores as the covariant was employed to compare performance at the grade levels investigated (4-6). Multiple comparisons of the adjusted posttest means were made employing least square means. The results cited in the study indicate that the posttest mean score was significantly larger than the pretest mean score for all groups tested. The most significant increase was noted at the fourth grade level. Based upon the achievement of the students tested, after adjustments were made for preknowledge, the developed materials appeared to be most ideally suited for fourth grade level students. Samples of the materials that were developed by the researcher are included in the Appendices of the paper.
