We are thrilled that the journal is moving into the capable hands of co…

  • Recognition Odysseys: Indigeneity, Race, and Federal Tribal Recognition Policy in Three Louisiana Indian Communities

    Alcida Rita Ramos, Brian Klopotek et al.BOOKRecognition Odysseys2020Cited by: 3

    In Recognition Odysseys, Brian Klopotek explores the complicated relationship between federal tribal recognition policy and American Indian racial and tribal identities. Though recognition has acquired a transformational aura, seemingly able to lift tribes from poverty and cultural decay to wealth and revitalization, these three cases reveal a more complex reality.Klopotek describes the varied effects of the recognition process on the social and …

  • "The Significance of William Simmons's 1988 Article "Culture Theory in Contemporary Ethnohistory

    K Tsianina LomawaimaARTICLEEthnohistory2019Cited by: 1References: 6

    Speaking as a scholar who was disciplinarily trained in anthropology but with perpetual interest in the methods, approaches, and questions of history, I view the collegial intellectual community of the field, the American Society for Ethnohistory (ASE) and the journal Ethnohistory as invaluable centers of gravity. The annual meetings are an exciting, convivial gathering point for testing new ideas, hearing new perspectives, debating, exchanging, …

  • Reconsidering Richard Henry Pratt: Cultural Genocide and Native Liberation in an Era of Racial Oppression

    K Tsianina Lomawaima, Jeffrey OstlerARTICLEJournal of American Indian…2018

    Richard Henry Pratt, first superintendent of Carlisle Indian School, is touted as the architect of the U.S. assimilationist campaign of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, famous for the slogan "kill the Indian, save the man." We question the degree he is credited with building a federal bureaucracy that he bitterly criticized. We examine the historical record to illuminate how and why Pratt broke with racialized ideologies of his day; how Ca…

  • Why Don't More Indians Do Better in School? The Battle between U.S. Schooling & American Indian/Alaska Native Education

    Bryan Mckinley Jones Brayboy, K Tsianina LomawaimaARTICLEDaedalus2018Cited by: 9

    American Indian/Alaska Native education – the training for life of children, adolescents, and adults – has been locked in battle for centuries with colonial schooling, which continues to the present day. Settler societies have used schools to “civilize” Indigenous peoples and to train Native peoples in subservience while dispossessing them of land. Schools are the battlegrounds of American Indian education in which epistemologies, ontologies, axi…

  • Unfolding Futures: Indigenous Ways of Knowing for the Twenty-First Century

    Philip J Deloria, K Tsianina Lomawaima et al.ARTICLEDaedalus2018Cited by: 14

    In the summer and autumn of 2016, American Indian people1 (re)entered American political consciousness in ways not seen since the takeover of the South Dakota village of Wounded Knee in 1973. Wounded Knee featured a seventy-one-day siege, the mobilization of the American military against Indian activists, and copious media reportage; and it came on the heels of the 1972 takeover of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, D.C., the seizure and…

  • The Erosion of Tribal Power: The Supreme Court's Silent Revolution

    K Tsianina LomawaimaARTICLEJournal of American History2017Cited by: 3

    Dewi Ioan Ball's dense descriptions of Supreme Court decision making from 1959 to 2001 draw on case law, enriched by the open-to-the-public papers of seven justices: Harry Blackmun, Thurgood Marshall, William Brennan, William Douglas, Hugo Lafayette Black, Earl Warren, and Lewis Powell. Ball argues for a “silent revolution” as key justices eroded the “Indian sovereignty doctrine” to favor an “integrationist” stance that allowed significant intrus…

  • A Principle of Relativity through Indigenous Biography

    K Tsianina LomawaimaARTICLEBiography2016Cited by: 1

    Vine Deloria, Jr.’s principle of relativity directs Indigenous biographers to search for relationships. Examples from biographical projects focused on Curtis Thorpe Carr and other survivors of Chilocco Indian Agricultural School, and early twentieth century Creek performer Tsianina Blackstone, highlight key absences and presences that both trouble and enrich Indigenous biography

  • History without Silos, Ignorance versus Knowledge, Education beyond Schools

    Open AccessK Tsianina LomawaimaARTICLEHistory of Education Quarterly2014Cited by: 6References: 4

    Contributors to this thematic issue of the Quarterly call education historians' scholarly attention to the particularities of Native histories and the diverse ways that Native people experience and think about our worlds. Their call to envision—or re-vision—histories of Indigenous education weaves together suggestive directions for productive scholarly inquiry. In my commentary, I focus on three of their main points. First, they note the unfortun…

    This commentary on Bryan Brayboy's 2011 Presidential address to the Council on Anthropology & Education focuses on the concepts and performance embedded in Dr. Brayboy's demonstration of "how his stories are his theories." Central concepts are academic life in a neoliberal world driven by the myth of disinterested markets, CAE's clear mission of social justice, and the application of an indigenous notion of stewardship to guide our relationships …

  • When Tribal Sovereignty Challenges Democracy: American Indian Education and the Democratic Ideal

    Open AccessK Tsianina Lomawaima, Teresa L MccartyARTICLEAmerican Educational Research…2002Cited by: 26References: 27

    The lessons of American Indian education—a grand experiment in standardization—can lead to a more equitable educational system for all U.S. citizens. While masquerading as a tool for equal opportunity, standardization has marginalized Native peoples. We argue for diversity—not standardization—as a foundational value for a just multicultural democracy, but diversity is feared by some as a threat to the nation’s integrity. Critical historical analy…
