Native Apparitions: Critical Perspectives on Hollywood's Indians
Indians, American Indian Studies, and the Depiction of Indigenous Peoples in American Commercial Cinema: An Introduction
Should Trees Have Legal Standing in Indian Country
Should Trees Have Legal Standing in Indian Country? Steve Pavlik (bio) Many American Indian tribes now operate their own departments of natural resources. Wildlife, fisheries, and forests are now managed under tribal law. Unfortunately, tribal resource management tends to differ very little from that of any state or federal agency. Although some tribes have worked hard to incorporate elements of cultural recognition and sensitivity into their man…
Rohonas and Spotted Lions: The Historical and Cultural Occurrence of the Jaguar, Panthera onca, among the Native Tribes of the American Southwest
To most people the very word "jaguar" conjures up visions of a magnificent spotted cat stalking through the dense semitropical or tropical rainforests of Brazil, Costa Rica, or perhaps Mexico. Few would associate this animal with the forests, woodlands, or especially the deserts of the American Southwest. Yet this land, too, is jaguar country. In reality, the historic range of the jaguar, Panthera onca, extended well into the United States. Jagua…
Will Big Trotter Reclaim His Place? The Role of the Wolf in Navajo Tradition
The wolf was long an important factor in Navajo life. With the destruction of the wild wolf in the American Southwest, a vital link to the past-and perhaps the future-has been lost to the Navajo people. In recent years, however, an effort has been made to restore wolves to their native habitat. If the wolf recovery program is successful,what effect will it have on the Navajo people? Will the return of the wolf help restore the balance and harmony…
San Carlos and White Mountain Apache Attitudes toward the Reintroduction of the Mexican Wolf to Its Historic Range in the American Southwest
S hortly after his arrival in the Southwest in 1917, U.S. Forest Service biologist Aldo Leopold participated in the killing of a wolf somewhere in the White Mountain range, which stretches across the borderlands of south-central Arizona and New Mexico. Leopold and a number of companions were eating lunch on a high rimrock position overlooking a river when they spotted a female wolf and her six grown pups playing in an open area below them. Immedi…
Response to Eric M. Riggs
As I read through Eric M. Riggs' comments on my essay "American Indian Spirituality, Traditional Knowledge, and the 'Demon-Haunted' World of Western Science," I was more taken by the things we agreed on than the areas on which we disagree. Riggs acknowledges the "all too common transgressions made in the name of science or improved technology." He also admits that "science tends commonly to carry with it a sense of invulnerability, a sense of pos…
Navajo Christianity: Historical Origins and Modern Trends
he Navajo Indians of the American Southwest have been referred to as the most missionaried people in the world.' The largest Indian tribe in the United States, the Navajos, who now number more than 200,000 in population and reign over an area of some 25,000 square miles in northeastern Arizona, a part of southwestern New Mexico, and a small section of southeastern Utah, have been pressured by missionaries to convert to Christianity for almost 125…

The role of bears and bear ceremonialism in Navajo Orthodox traditional lifeway
The Navajos, who now number over 200,000 in population, are the largest, and one of the most culturally intact Indian tribes in North America. Reigning over a reservation of some 25,000 square miles in size, the Navajos, like many other tribal people have long respected and honored bears as being fellow “being” with whom they share the land. Because of the bears power, intelligence, acute senses, and physical features which closely resemble that …
American Indian Spirituality, Traditional Knowledge, and the "Demon-Haunted" World of Western Science
While browsing through the stacks of my favorite bookstore I came across a title which caught my attention, not to mention my imagination. The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark (1995), is the latest work by Carl Sagan, probably the most widely read and respected popular scientist of our time. Sagan, a professor of astronomy and space sciences at
The U.S. Supreme Court Decision on Peyote in Employment Division v. Smith: A Case Study in the Suppression of Native American Religious Freedom

Of Saints and Lamanites: An Analysis of Navajo Mormonism
The Navajo Indians have long been subject to intense pressure by various missionary groups. One of the most successful, and certainly the most controversial, of the Christian denominations to proselytize among the Navajo has been the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormons. Today it is estimated that approximately 20% of the Navajo population, perhaps 40,000 tribal members, have been baptized as Mormons (Stewart and Wiley, 1981: …
