Reproduction on the Reservation: Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Colonialism in the Long Twentieth Century. Critical Indigeneities. By Brianna Theobald
For years, stories of how Native women had been sterilized, either without their consent or through coercive measures, circulated in Indian country. These stories became public when the American Indian Movement’s take-over of the BIA building in Washington, D.C. led to a seizure of documents that proved federal policies prescribing draconian reproductive health measures for Native women and their families. Taking that moment when Native women’s s…
Red Nation Rising: From Border Town Violence to Native Liberation
Refusing the Gift of Democracy and Embracing Diné Concepts of Kinship: The Navajo Nation, Citizenship, and Practices of Gender
Critical Indigenous Studies scholars assert that our imperative is to support Native sovereignty and self-determination, especially as it is constituted under American settler occupation and to enact decolonization through theory and practice. However, as Indigenous feminist scholars demonstrate, Native nation-building must be understood historically as an American colonial project intended to remake Indigenous peoples into mirror images of citiz…

Bitter Water: Diné Oral Histories of the Navajo-Hopi Land Dispute
Many know that the removal and relocation of Indigenous peoples from traditional lands is a part of the United States colonial past, but few know that in an expansive corner of northeastern Arizona the saga continues. The 1974 Settlement Act officially divided a reservation established almost a century earlier between the Dine (Navajo) and the Hopi, and legally granted the contested land to the Hopi. To date, the U.S. government has relocated bet…
