Tatsey and the Enemy-Friend
Although many excellent examples of literary-style American Indian humor exist, they are also often limited by mainstream conventions and tastes regarding both form and content. As a result, they only get us so far in understanding certain realities of Native life, such as those found on reservations. Finding ways to add examination of forms of joking that may be less familiar to the mainstream, such as those often found in tribally specific, non…
Contemporary American Indian Studies
Contemporary American Indian Studies Sidner Larson (bio) In his keynote address to the Fifth Annual American Indian Studies Consortium in 2005 David Wilkins began by commenting on earlier attempts to formally organize such a gathering in ways that might help establish and accredit Indian studies programs. He said he had the sense that the thrust of earlier meetings "was really an opportunity for Native academics, graduate students, and their alli…
Multiple Perspectivism in James Welch's Winter in the Blood and The Death of Jim Loney
Multiple Perspectivism in James Welch's Winter in the Blood and The Death of Jim Loney Sidner Larson (bio) During the years 1974–79, when Winter in the Blood and The Death of Jim Loney were written, James Welch had already long since left the Hi-Line of Montana to settle in Missoula.

Colonization as Subtext in James Welch's Winter in the Blood
James Welch's work functions simultaneously as self-exploration, contemporary literary realism, and as a form of anthropology/archeology used to identify and interrogate historic, social, cultural, and political realities. In addition, it contains a fundamental binary composed of a pragmatic, grounded gaze at certain realities of lived experience nevertheless often expressed in abstractions that invite theoretical association. For example, Welch'…
Rhetoric and American Indians
Awareness of the means by which some people are permitted to participate in the creation and application of elements of culture while others are excluded from such activities is not only a question of acknowledging equal representation, but also of familiarity with the structural mechanisms and power relations that make up the foundations of various rhetorical forms. One result of the current lack of awareness is that affirmative action programs,…
Fear and Contempt: A European Concept of Property
American legal system, despite a nagging sense that it infringes on their freedom. Other Americans have a different view. They view the legal system as participating in that which it is sworn to prevent - the theft of freedom and possessions. Native Americans serve as an example of such people, fated to experience the legal system in reverse. They are an effective example because of the magnitude of their loss, a loss that can be measured in eigh…

The Fragmentation of a Tribal People in Louise Erdrich's Tracks
Louise Erdrich’s novel Tracks deals with the years between 1912 and 1919, when the North Dakota Chippewa, or Anishinabe, as they call themselves, were coping with the effects of the General Allotment Act of 1887, the purpose of which was to divide tribally allotted lands among individual Indians so that these Indians could leave their nomadic, communal cultures behind and become settled as farmers. After the Indian Allotment Act of 1904, each enr…
