A Room of (His) Own
This article focuses on underlying psychosocial rationales for perpetuating male-exclusive associations. Further explored is what establishment of such female-excluding male spaces reveal about relative parallels and/or differences in construction of gender identity and definitions of masculinity held by participating members of two male group—one in the Tuscany region of Central Italy, the other in southwestern Connecticut and made up largely of…

And the Drum Beat Goes On
INTRODUCTION\nEstablished in 1935, the Los Angeles County-based Indian Centers, Inc. (ICI) had provided a number of federally funded social services to the Native American residents of the Los Angeles Basin since the Johnson administration initiated its War on Poverty programs in the late 1960s. By the mid-1970s ICI consisted of a headquarters in downtown Los Angeles and satellite offices in Huntington Beach, Culver City, and San Gabriel Valley. …

Indian Country, L. A. Maintaining Ethnic Community in Complex Society
Indian Country, L.A
Los Angeles is home to the largest concentration of urban Native Americans in the United States: a geographically dispersed population of tremendous cultural, linguistic, political, and religious diversity. Over the course of more than two decades, Joan Weibel-Orlando has immersed herself in the social, economic, and political life of this population, conducting hundreds of interviews and observing the institutions, rites, and practices that help…

From Anthropologist to Advocate
By accepting this identification and the role expectations associated with it, in January 1985 I began a nine-month professional commitment that carried me from self-identification as an academic anthropologist with an applied research focus to an advocate for policy development in the treatment of Indian alcoholism. That a Washington-based administrator of the Indian Health Service should have identified me in this way and targeted me for a cons…
Working On, Working For, and Working With American Indians
The lyrics of the Curtis and Westerman song, dating from circa 1960 (printed in Vine Deloria's Custer Died for Your Sins) exemplify the then prevailing attitude of a number of politically active and vocal Native Americans toward anthropologists in general and, in particular, those of us who have "worked with" American Indians. The social distance between researcher and researched community as suggested by the lyrics' invective has approached, in …
Hooked on Healing
Indian and alcohol research, particularly studies of treatment and prevention interventions, stress the importance of recognizing and acting upon cultural differences in drinking behavior, its motivation, and the parameters by which use becomes defined as aberrant. Anthropologists, other social scientists, and health service providers increasingly have suggested that indigenous healing practices be considered as possible alternative substance abu…
Elders and Elderlies
INTRODUCTION\nIn contrast to the exhaustive ethnographic and ethnohistoric literature on American Indian life generally, there has been, until the last decade, limited ethnographic description of the quality of life and possible career paths available to Indians in old age. The dearth of research findings that describe what it means to be old in contemporary American Indian society is due, in part, to the relatively small size of this subsection …
Indians, ethnicity as a resource and aging
The Indian Shaker Church and Alcoholics Anonymous
Chronic misuse of alcohol is a major health problem among American Indians. Growing frustration with the limited success of conventional alcoholism treatment programs to either initiate or maintain sobriety among Indian clients has prompted the study of indigenous treatment responses to alcohol misuse. This paper describes how the Indian Shaker Church functions as a culture-based alcoholism intervention. The authors consider those socio-structura…
