Indigenous Genealogies of Relational Knowledge: Cedar Tree and Gray Squirrel as Important Relatives and Teachers
Indigenous peoples have education systems thousands of years old that have sustained our peoples in respectful relation with place. The backbone of our education systems is our stories and storytelling traditions. Beyond mere intellectual or analytical “texts” or “literature”, our stories place us in webs of relationships with sacred responsibilities. In this article, we discuss the importance of Indigenous genealogies of knowledge from both pers…
Átaw Iwá Ichishkíin Sɨ́nwit: The Importance of Ichishkíin Language in Advancing Indigenous Feminist Education
Michelle M. Jacob, Virginia R. Beavert, Regan Anderson, Leilani Sabzalian, Joana Jansen, Átaw Iwá Ichishkíin Sɨ́nwit: The Importance of Ichishkíin Language in Advancing Indigenous Feminist Education, Feminist Studies, Vol. 45, No. 2-3, Indigenous Feminisms in Settler Contexts (2019), pp. 290-311
Traditionalism and the Reassertion of Indianness
This chapter, originally published in 1954 in "Social Anthropology of North American Tribes," features contributions from Oren Lyons, Virginia Beavert, Francis McKinley, and Sol Tax. It explores the concept of traditionalism and the resurgence of Indian identity within the context of 20th-century societal changes. The authors examine how Indigenous communities navigate the complexities of maintaining their cultural heritage while adapting to mode…
Sahaptin: Between stress and tone
The Yakima dialect of Sahaptin has been described as a pitch accent language, but lately the category “pitch accent” has been questioned as a prosodic primitive. In this article we bring to light new data from reduplicated verbs found in texts. Trisyllabic and longer reduplicated verbs appear to have secondary stress, which is unexpected in a pitch accent language. We suggest that secondary stress surfaces in a PStem domain which meets certain mi…
Northwest Sahaptin
Sahaptin is a Sahaptian language spoken in Washington and Oregon, U.S.A. Rigsby & Rude (1996) divide Sahaptin into three broad dialect areas: Northwest, Northeast, and Columbia River. This Illustration of the IPA reflects the Yakama (also spelled Yakima) subdialect (ykm) of Northwest Sahaptin. Sahaptin has fifty or fewer native speakers (Beavert & Jansen 2012). The second author is a native speaker of this dialect. Her voice is on the accompanyin…
Yakima Sahaptin Bipartite Verb Stems
This paper investigates the Yakima Sahaptin bipartite construction and identifies the syntactic and semantic qualities of the morphemes that combine in these constructions. Four types of bipartite constructions in the language are identified and described: (1) change of state (COS): lexical prefix and COS stem; (2) caused motion: lexical prefix and locative/directive stem; (3) motion/location of an entity: lexical prefix and locative/directive st…
Word-initial clusters and minimality in Yakima Sahaptin
In the Yakima dialect of Sahaptin, the smallest forms of words are CCV and CVC, as established by a study of lexical patterns and the obligatory augmentation of subminimal roots. We argue that CCV words cannot be considered a type of disyllable, nor do the initial consonants in CCV words exhibit properties (apart from minimality) that would allow them to be classified as moraic. We therefore propose that Yakima Sahaptin represents a previously un…
