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 -- …

Abstracts From The Twelfth Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
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 …

Critique [Of Racial Identity Among Mixed Adolescents In Hawaii: A Research Note], Vagn K. Hansen
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Relatively few individuals have the option of choosing an ethnic identity. In most cases that identity is ascribed by parentage or by societal perception. Kinloch's research illuminates both the considerations which may be involved in making a choice of ethnic identity in those persons who have the option and the results of the choice for his sample group.

Critique [Of Economic And Psychic Exploitation Of American Indians], Dennis Stewart
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Perhaps the most valuable contribution that Professors Bataille's and Silet’s treatise makes is to connect the images of the American Indian in movies with antecedent images. The scope of their investigation predates Columbus, includes critical American historical imagery production, takes the reader to the very beginnings of the movie industry, and brings us up-to-date on the effects of the "Great Society" outfalls for both image. and employment of American Indians in the screen entertainment establishment.

Critique [Of Griggs And Corrothers: Historical Reality And Black Fiction], Dennis Stewart
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Professor Payne, in his two selections of seminal writings from the pre-World War I period, has performed a remarkable service for Explorations readers in presenting significant work tersely argued, well-written, and comprehensively considered. Griggs's and Corrothers's fiction contains all of the possibilities for political change that were considered during the 1960s and 1970s.

In contemporary American Indian songs and stories the Iroquois, Shawnee, and Lakota all voice a rueful hindsight over the hereditary "Great Mistake," or the friendship and kindness which their naive, trusting ancestors extended to the pilgrims on the Mayflower.

Critique [Of Retention Of Undergraduate Minority Students In Institutions Of Higher Education], Linda M.C. Abbott
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Increased retention of minority undergraduates is a goal that can be supported for a variety of reasons, from the avoidance of human waste, to concern for balanced institutional budgets, to the desirability of turning out larger numbers of minority graduates who will become professional role models for the next generation. The authors have presented a state·of·the·art review of some promising retention programs, together with recommendations for strengthening such programs.

Critique [Of Retention Of Undergraduate Minority Students In Institutions Of Higher Education], Helen Maclam
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Jenkins' and Terrell's assessment of factors contributing to the attrition of undergraduate minority students is written in such general terms that it does not make a clear statement of the problem. Further, while their use of Kathleen Burlew's study may have provided some specific insights, to say out of context that "since students may lose interest in educational goals, an occupational end is needed to sustain their motivation to continue" comes perilously close to a rationale for consigning minority students to vocational programs.

Abstracts From The Eleventh Annual Conference On Ethnic Minority Studies, 1983, Ontario, California
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
We asked discussants for the 1983 Conference to summarize their responses to the papers in their sessions, and Stewart Rodnon of Rider College provided a statement which comments specifically on the session for which he was discussant and summarizes the significance of many of the papers delivered at the 1983 Conference. His comments serve as a meaningful preface to these abstracts.
