Let No Man Judge
When calypsonian Merchant died of HIV-related causes in 1999, his life and death became a conduit for the public discussion of HIV/AIDS in Trinidad and Tobago. Merchant was remembered simultaneously as a womanizing, working-class calypsonian and as a closeted gay man. These public narratives, like narratives of other individuals associated with disease or epidemics, used music to allocate risk to marginalized groups and, by implication, away from…

Native Americans and the Environment
Native Americans have long had an immediate relationship with their physical environments. At contact most lived in relatively small units close to the earth, cognizant of its rhythms and resources. They defined themselves by the land, by the sacred places that bounded and shaped their world. They recognized a unity in their physical and spiritual universes, the union of natural and supernatural. Their origin cycles, oral traditions, and cosmolog…

Ute Tales
Still Native
When Frederick Jackson Turner looked at American history in 1893 he considered Native Americans to be of little significance. He demonstrated more interest in the process of heroic, white yeomen hewing out a corridor of civilization in an environment that all but overwhelmed them, transforming them from immigrants into Americans. Indians were Indians, part of that wild frontier environment. They posed "a common danger" and served as "a consolidat…
Reservation Leadership and the Progressive-Traditional Dichotomy
In the early twentieth century, Indian Bureau officials noted an increasing incidence of tribal factionalism parallel to changes in Indian reservation leadership. They described this factionalism in terms of a progressive-traditional dichotomy. Modern scholars have unintentionally fallen into this semantic trap. This article explores the complexity of individual motivations and factional politics among the Northern Utes through the life of Willia…

Argonauts and the Overland Trail Experience
In the spring of 1849 John Evans Brown and his young companions from North Carolina set off on the adventure of their lives-to cross the continent by horse and wagon and find gold in the new El Dorado of California. In the exuberance of youth, Brown recorded his hopes and fears before passing out of "civilization" and into the "wilds": "All is work and excitement and proving ourselves men, leaving family and friend to go amongst the wilds. Who ca…
