Is it always prudent to remain faithful to the ‘original’ version of the received myth, or is it desirable to tamper with, or destabilize, the source myth? In India, mainstream versions of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata have long been disrupted by folk, feminist, and queer adaptations. Reversions of these oral, transhistorical master narratives of Hinduism…
Concrete Lessons: Policies and Practices Affecting the Impact of Covid-19 for Urban Indigenous Communities in the United States and Canada
Throughout the Americas, most Indigenous people move through urban areas and make their homes in cities. Yet, the specific issues and concerns facing Indigenous people in cities, and the positive protective factors their vibrant urban communities generate are often overlooked and poorly understood. This has been particularly so under COVID-19 pandemic conditions. In the spring of 2020, the United Nations High Commissioner Special Rapporteur on th…
Indians on the Move: Native American Mobility and Urbanization in the Twentieth Century. Critical Indigeneities. By Douglas K. Miller
Indians on the Move is outstanding. It comprehensively moves from the early 1900s and boarding schools, to off-reservation work, wartime armed forces, war industry jobs, the Bureau of Indian Affairs’s Relocation and Vocational Training programs, and those who returned home. It is framed, as Miller says, “to accentuate the fortitude urban Indians demonstrated in making the difficult and consequential decision to achieve socioeconomic stability thr…

Is Urban a Person or a Place? Characteristics of Urban Indian Country
Is urban a person or a place? Urban is a place, a setting in which many Indian people at some time in their lives visit, “establish an encampment,” or settle into. Urban doesn’t determine self-identity, yet the urban area and urban experiences are the context and some of the factors that contribute to defining identity. The intent of this article is to delineate some of the general structural characteristics of urban Indian communities in the Uni…
