This Is Indian Country, Nicolas G. Rosenthal 2016 Loyola Marymount University

This Is Indian Country, Nicolas G. Rosenthal

History Faculty Works

For most of the past century, a migration has been taking place within the United States: Native Americans have been moving from tribal and rural lands to America’s cities. But Native Americans have not abandoned reservations for urban life. Instead, they’ve built a network that joins reservations, rural lands, suburban communities and urban centers, with Los Angeles as the “urban Indian capital of the United States.”

Traditional Ecological Knowledge: A Model For Modern Fire Management?, Gail Wells 2014 Gail Wells Communication

Traditional Ecological Knowledge: A Model For Modern Fire Management?, Gail Wells

Joint Fire Science Program Digests

For many thousands of years, aboriginal peoples worldwide used fire to manage landscapes. In North America, the frequency and extent of fire (both human caused and natural) were much reduced after European colonization. Fire exclusion became the policy in the United States for most of the 20th century as the country became more settled and industrialized. Past fire exclusion has helped produce landscapes that are highly susceptible to uncharacteristically severe wildfire. An urgent challenge for land managers today is to reduce fire risk through several means, including prescribed burning, without harm to culturally significant resources or human communities. The Joint …

Indigenous Engagement And Resistance In The 21st Century: Empowering Indigenous Identity With Indigenous Film, Heather A. Hafer Cole

Communication & Leadership Dissertations and Theses

Indigenous people of the United States have historically been and continue to be objectified and misrepresented in art, history, science, literature, and mass media. This continued colonization contributes to loss of respect for culture, identity crisis among indigenous youth, health disparities of epidemic proportions, poor performance in education, substance abuse, violence and poverty. This qualitative study expands upon existing scholarship in media anthropology (Dilworth, 1996; Ginsberg, 1991 & 2008; and Prins, 2002) and indigenous studies (Rader, 2011; Singer, 2001; and Tuhiwai Smith, 2012) by analyzing the indigenous voice expressed through media practice, storytelling as a tool for empowering indigenous identity …

Second World War military operations resulted in the capture of thousands of prisoners of war. This led to the creation of internment facilities by both the Axis and the Allies.

This study provides the results of historical archaeological research at the Indianola prisoner of war camp in southwestern Nebraska. A goal of this research is to determine if the archaeological record reflects adherence to the Geneva Convention of 1929. The investigation included archival research and archaeological fieldwork with …

Cultural Suppression Of Native Nations Through United States Government Policy, Nicholas Augustus Brace 2013 California State University, San Bernardino

Cultural Suppression Of Native Nations Through United States Government Policy, Nicholas Augustus Brace

Theses Digitization Project

This study will discuss Native American discrimination by the U.S. government while focusing on the education system and policies the Native Americans suffered through. A push to remove the sovereignty of Native Nations through assimilation by the U.S. government has led to arguments that Native Americans have been the recipients of cultural suppression.

The Genoa Indian School: A Mixed Legacy; 50 Years Of Transformation, Survival, And Hope In A United States Government Indian Boarding School On The Nebraska Plains, Shelley R. Frear

History Theses, Dissertations, and Student Creative Activity

In 1884, the Genoa Industrial Indian School became part of the government's off-reservation Indian boarding school system. The students who attended Genoa throughout the course of her fifty years came from many different tribes and brought with them a variety of backgrounds. Each student experienced Genoa in his or her own way. Individual experiences were influenced by their time of arrival; the policies and procedures in place in Washington and locally, as well as the administration in charge. For some students, their years at Genoa were positive; but for many others, loneliness, sorrow, abuse, or anger left a resounding negative …
