Notes on contributors to Explorations in Ethnic Studies, Volume 7, Issue 2, 1984
Critique [Of The Use Of The Terms "Negro" And "Black" To Include Persons Of Native American Ancestry In "Anglo" North America By Jack D. Forbes], Neil Nakadate
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In investigating the use of "Negro" and "black" to include persons of Native American ancestry, Jack D. Forbes brings together a large number of wide-ranging references on an elusive topic. The preliminary nature of Forbes's study and the inevitably problematic status of the data make his work thus far more valuable in suggestive than definitive terms. For example, while the conclusions regarding practices in King Williams Parish, Virginia, in the early 18th century seem generally acceptable, a heavy dependence on given names such as Robin as clues to classification should probably be avoided (Robin is the diminutive of the common …

Critique [Of The Use Of The Terms "Negro" And "Black" To Include Persons Of Native American Ancestry In "Anglo" North America By Jack D. Forbes], John M. Hunnicutt
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The article is well written and researched. The author has searched the literature pertaining to blacks and Indians and found that there are many cases of confused and deliberate distortions. These distortions had and have a profound impact on the way we behave. Many examples of the use of overgeneralization are given. The reasons for this behavior are complex and varied. As an example we find the white Virginians agitating for the termination of the Gingaskin Indian Reservation in Northampton County. Forbes cites the reason for this agitation as the area was an "asylum for free negroes" and the presence …
Women, Religion, And Peace In An American Indian Ritual, Kristin Herzog
Women, Religion, And Peace In An American Indian Ritual, Kristin Herzog
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The poem prefaces Leslie Marmon Silko's novel Ceremony, the story of a young American Indian who regains the wholeness and meaning of his life by rediscovering his ancient tribal roots and rituals.[1] It is a story of the American Southwest, especially the Pueblo-Laguna people. Anyone even vaguely familiar with American Indian culture knows that the groups were originally as different from each other as modern-day Swedes are from Albanians or Catalans, if not more so. There were more than 2,000 independent culture groups in Columbus's time, and they spoke 500 different languages belonging to fifty distinct language groups, some as …

[Review Of] Paula Gunn Allen, Ed. Studies In American Indian Literature: Critical Essays And Course Design, Barbara Hiura
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Studies in American Indian Literature edited by Paula Gunn Allen is an excellent literary survey and resource book for instructors interested in developing college level courses on American Indians. Allen develops the format by including "critical studies in American Indian literature that explain and/or use basic themes, motifs, structures, and symbols found in traditional and modern American Indian literature." These critical essays lead into course outlines for developing American Indian classes.

[Review Of] Vine Deloria, Jr., And Clifford M. Lytle. American Indians. American Justice, Gretchen M. Bataille
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Two attorneys, both professors of political science, have written this book on American Indians and the American legal system to clarify American Indian people's place vis-a-vis the United States system of justice. The first chapter provides a much-needed historical context for the current situations. The authors trace the rather convoluted pattern of Indian-U.S. relationships from first contact with the "great white father" through the treaty system, allotment, the Indian Reorganization Act, termination policies, and self-determination, evaluating the malign or benign effects of several presidents. Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon had positive influences on legislation focusing on American Indians; …

[Review Of] Anne Hodges Morgan And Rennard Strickland, Eds. Oklahoma Memories, Robert Gish
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Oklahoma looms large in the legends and imagination of westering Americans. Much more than one of the most northeastern of the Southwestern states, Oklahoma in the hearts and minds of many amounts to the fiction of Edna Ferber's Cimarron or John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. "Okies" assuredly have their own mystique if not their own stereotype. Anne Hodges Morgan and Rennard Strickland, the editors of Oklahoma Memories, seek to document that the "history" of Oklahoma, as recorded by people who have traveled across it and settled it from Indian Territory days to the present, is just as fascinating as its …

[Review Of] David Sibley. Outsiders In Urban Societies, Russell Endo
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
While minority groups are usually not associated with the locus of social, political, and economic power in a society, some groups may be more marginal than others. Such is the characteristic position of gypsies, a semi-nomadic people found in several parts of the world. In this book, David Sibley, a lecturer in Geography at Hull University, presents a study of British gypsies based on several years of personal experience in gypsy communities.

[Review Of] Pamela Mordecai And Mervyn Morris, Eds. Jamaica Woman : An Anthology Of Poems, Faythe Turner
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The history of the Americas, one first of imperialism, second of slavery, is one of which we are aware. Whether accepted or rejected, the colonial heritage has had a hypnotizing effect on many writers in this hemisphere as is abundantly displayed in this anthology, Jamaica Women. The major part of the poetry here is social protest or "message" poetry as opposed to that involved in the structure of language, although we do find both in the surprising variety of subjects considered, some personal-love, family-others cultural and collective-nature, freedom, poverty, work, strength or lack of it. The best of these poems …
[Review Of] Donald B. Smith. Long Lance: The True Story Of An Impostor, Lyle Koehler
[Review Of] Donald B. Smith. Long Lance: The True Story Of An Impostor, Lyle Koehler
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In the 1920s, Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance, reputedly a Blood (or Blackfoot) Indian, was the talk of New York City. A graduate of Carlisle Indian School, a cadet at West Point, a war hero, and a sparring mate for Jack Dempsey, Long Lance was the American Indian made good. He was a journalist of some renown, an eloquent speaker, and a self ordained "spokesman for the Indians of America." Before the decade was finished he had written a highly popular autobiography of his life on the Canadian Plains, actually chased off wolves and speared a moose for his role …
[Review Of] Michael Anthony. All That Glitters, Laverne GonzáLez
[Review Of] Michael Anthony. All That Glitters, Laverne GonzáLez
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The Trinidadian, Michael Anthony, gives us yet another novel, having previously published The Year in San Fernando, Green Days by the River, The Games Were Coming, Streets of Conflict and a collection of short stories, Cricket in the Road. For this novel, he has drawn heavily on the native elements of Trinidad and Tobago. Interestingly enough, the political situation plays only a minor role in the novel, unlike the works of other Caribbean authors like George Lamming and V. S. Naipaul, for example.

Critique [Of Women, Religion, And Peace In An American Indian Ritual By Kristin Herzog], Karl J. Reinhardt
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The value of Herzog's study, in addition to the factual information presented, is a tragic reminder of two interrelated truths: 1) by studying history we could learn how to make a better world in which to live; and, 2) we do not learn from history. The women's movement of recent years has two aspects which do not, for all times, go together. One moving force in its genesis is the demand that physical and emotional abuse and misuse of women by men cease. The other, not necessarily related to the first, is that of equal status, which includes equal access …

Change In American Indian World Views Illustrated By Oral Narratives And Contemporary Poetry, Silvester J. Brito
Change In American Indian World Views Illustrated By Oral Narratives And Contemporary Poetry, Silvester J. Brito
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Unlike other ethnic groups, American Indians had little to celebrate during the bicentennial year in 1976. Other ethnic groups, with the exception of blacks and Mexican Americans, came to America to find a better way of life.[1] In contrast, few American Indians have left this country in search of a better life elsewhere. Hence, being an oppressed minority in a society governed by Western thought and values, Indians can only lament the loss of their rights to live and govern their lives according to particular religious, cultural, and social values, for they have been forced to change world views and …
The Lone Ranger Lied: Tonto Wasn't Real, Lee Hadley
The Lone Ranger Lied: Tonto Wasn't Real, Lee Hadley
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Whenever Hadley Irwin speaks to school children or to adults, for that matter, someone always asks, "Did the things in the book really happen to you? Are the characters in your books real people?" Writing is full of bits and pieces of the past, but what goes on paper is an amalgam of thousands of things, consciously and unconsciously remembered-experiences, overheard conversations, stories, imagined events. For a child, at least this writer as a child, all things had equal validity; all were equally true, even though she finally learned that growing up was a mixture of reality and myth.
The Editor Notes
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
On a visit to the Mesquakie Settlement during May of this year, one elder told me that there were too many distractions for the children to fully comprehend the traditions as she had learned them as a child. As I reflected on her comments, I realized that she truly had cause for alarm: Although Mesquakies have contended with many, many great pressures since their removal and return to Iowa during the last century, they have only in recent history had to contend with the all-pervasive power of television to create, destroy, distort, form, mold, and shape images of reality -- …

In an attempt to record a sense of the formal sessions of the 1984 Conference, we asked the Chairs to assemble abstracts and discussant comments for their sessions. Although we are pleased with a response greater than in 1983, we are aiming for one hundred percent in 1985.
Critique [Of Perception And Power Through Naming: Characters In Search Of Self In The Fiction Of Toni Morrison By Linda Buck Myers], Neil Nakadate
Critique [Of Perception And Power Through Naming: Characters In Search Of Self In The Fiction Of Toni Morrison By Linda Buck Myers], Neil Nakadate
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In "Stranger in the Village" (1953), James Baldwin asserted that "the root function of language is to control the universe by describing it." In her article on naming in Toni Morrison's novels, Linda Buck Myers asks us to consider Morrison's insights regarding who does the controlling and how. In the end Myers offers us a number of useful and provocative observations regarding language and our uses of it as they inform ethnic experience.
Ethnicity And Empowerment: Implications For Psychological Training In The 1980s, Linda M.C. Abbott
Ethnicity And Empowerment: Implications For Psychological Training In The 1980s, Linda M.C. Abbott
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Psychological services, as a part of the health-care system, have been "embedded in specific configurations of cultural meanings and social relationships,"[1] and the role of patients and healers cannot be understood apart from that context. This article explores the failure of psychology to effectively address the inhibiting impact of racism on human development, and it suggests a corrective agenda for the training of socially responsive and responsible psychologists, an agenda derived from the literacy education model of Paulo Freire.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
"Haudenosaunee," you say? "And how do you spell that?" I asked. That was my response to Thadodahho at Onondaga in the summer of 1983 as he raised my consciousness about the name Iroquois as used by the French and the name Haudenosaunee as the People name themselves.

Critique [Of Perception And Power Through Naming: Characters In Search Of Self In The Fiction Of Toni Morrison By Linda Buck Myers], Marco Portales
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
There is always something final, of having said much of what appears to need saying, when we deal with opposites, when we discuss anything in terms of antipodes. Linda Buck Myers's article, "Perception and Power through Naming: Characters in Search of a Self in the Fiction of Toni Morrison," gives me this feeling; and, having considered the matter, she has not "said everything,'' but she has pointed the way and perceptively located what should become a main vein in the study of Toni Morrison. Language has always been the very stuff of literature, and Myers is correct in highlighting Morrison's …
