Mapping indigenous California
Desire, Interspecies Love, and Becoming-Animal
This article springs from our readings and re-readings of The Overstory (Powers, 2018), a text that moved us and changed us. In this article, we conceive of The Overstory as an affective aesthetic text, agentic in its capacity to jolt readers awake and precipitate ontoepistemological swerves in new and unexpected directions. We build from visions of textual engagements that bring a reader to life, disclosing new pathways and possibilities for how…
Conclusion
This concluding chapter identifies and discusses common themes woven throughout the volume’s case studies. As Indigenous scholars and citizens of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, the authors also reflect on the theme of Indigenous presence in American archaeology, particularly as the concept relates to the daily work of tribal heritage preservation, government-to-government consultations and other roles, as well as researching with, for…
Curriculum as Shadow Play
This essay seeks to trouble the binary of light and dark in the theorizing of curriculum. Through our play with shadows (as umbral, penumbral, and anteumbral), we seek to show how shadowy spaces—refuge—can emerge in curriculum. We do this by exploring social studies teaching and the digital ethics of shadowy spaces (Black Twitter, cancel ‘culture,’ and the dark web) to illustrate the differences between spaces of speaking back versus hiding from.…
Where Have All the Anthros Gone? The Shift in California Indian Studies from Research “on” to Research “with, for, and by” Indigenous Peoples
I am Peter Nelson. I am Coast Miwok and an assistant professor in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM) and Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley. I have to say "Miwok" or "Me-wuk," which means "person" in the Sierra language, so you will understand where I fit into the anthropological literature on our culture. It is certainly more specific than "Indian," but it is another tribe's word that an anthropologist applied to mine. Our word for …
The Role of GPR in Community-Driven Compliance Archaeology with Tribal and Non-tribal Communities in Central California
For tribes whose preservation values and mitigation strategies for managing cultural heritage are built on an ethic of avoidance and minimal disturbance, geophysical technologies can be key components of the research design. These technologies, most notably ground-penetrating radar, have been used with great success in identifying and evaluating the depth, extent, and composition of some of those resources for heritage research and management pur…
Saving the Sacred
Refusing Settler Epistemologies and Maintaining an Indigenous Future for Tolay Lake, Sonoma County, California
Archaeological research has traditionally been a top-down scientific process of knowledge production with little involvement from the descendant communities whose cultural resources and heritage are under investigation. The analysis of collections resulting from archaeological research and the empirical data that it provides can legitimate settler scientists' claims to know and revise Indigenous histories and eliminate the legitimacy of Indigenou…
P2-416 Estimating the prevalence of hepatitis B infection among people who inject drugs
Introduction Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, although not as prevalent among people who inject drugs (PWID) as hepatitis C, remains a significant public health concern. We present the first detailed global review of HBV prevalence among PWID. Methods As part of the WHO-funded Global Burden of Disease study, we undertook a systematic review of electronic databases (Medline, Embase, PsycINFO) and relevant conference abstracts to identify studies…
Social Work Admissions
The decision to admit an ex-offender to social work training may play a part in combating the social exclusion of people who have committed criminal offences, but it may also knowingly place social work service users and carers in positions of increased vulnerability. This paper brings together critical perspectives on both the nature of risk and ethical decision making in the context of social work admissions of applicants with criminal convicti…
