Tales of Wind and Water
The majority of the Houma people live in the southern portions of Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes in south Louisiana. Today more than 50 percent of the Houma still live within a twenty-five-mile radius of the town of Montegut. In the adjacent parishes of Jefferson, Plaquemines, St. Mary, and St. Bernard are smaller Houma settlements that trace back to the early twentieth century. Before the 1960s Houma Indian children could not attend public sc…
The Last Indian in the World
In June 2004, the American national media spent a considerable amount of airtime revisiting the events of June 1964 when three civil rights workers were murdered near Philadelphia, Mississippi on what was the fortieth anniversary of the murders. National Public Radio’s (NPR’s) All Things Considered devoted airtime to a story, “Truth and Reconciliation in Neshoba County,” in which reporter Debbie Elliot went to Philadelphia, Mississippi, the seat …
Brackish Bayou Blood
We weave baskets of pine straw. We weave baskets of cane. Grandfather moves in pattern, flowing ever outward, claws offering earthen memory. And we dive and rise continuously from waters pushed from the Gulf of Mexico into the interior deltas. Our inherited blood brackish as these bayous . . . neither fresh nor sea-salt; yet natural in its inherent Louisiana topography.\n—L. Rain Cranford-Gomez, “Old Crawdad the Fisherman”\nAs a child on the Gulf…
Ordinary and Extraordinary Trauma
Tears come before words as Tunica-Biloxi tribal member Elisabeth Pierite struggles to express her experiences with Hurricane Katrina. She sits in the living room of her family’s new home in Marksville, Louisiana, two years after Katrina forced them to abandon their home in New Orleans East. It is fitting to start with tears. Really, it is the only proper way to begin the story, to convey what Hurricane Katrina and its human-made aftermath meant f…
Watered by Tempests
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita affected hundreds of thousands in southern Louisiana. To say that they touched people of every stripe and color dramatically is a gross understatement. Aside from the horrendous loss of life and property damage, families were uprooted, traditions disrupted, and one of the largest migrations in American history forced on a state with traditionally the lowest outmigration rate. Still, as hurricane survivors know, a large…
George Bush May Not Like Black People, but No One Gives a Dam about Indigenous Peoples
Shortly after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina became clear, NBC televised A Concert for Hurricane Relief, a star-studded event watched by more than fourteen million Americans. Perhaps the most memorable moment of the evening had little to do with charity. Hip-hop artist Kanye West went “offscript” during a live segment of the telethon, voicing an opinion shared by many in the African American community: “George Bush doesn’t care about black …
Introduction
August 29, 2005 marked the worst natural disaster in US history. While millions across the world watched their televisions in horror and disbelief, a greater tragedy began to unfold. Centuries of neglect and disinvestment in the indigenous and tribal communities of Louisiana would reach an all-time high in the aftermath of the storm forever known as Katrina. This collection of essays draws on the work of scholars and Native community members from…
Compass of Compassion
At the height of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, Choctaw writer Cedric Sunray wrote in his Native American Times essay, “Similarities between Tribes and the Ninth Ward”:\nThe word tragedy can hardly signify the extent of the pain being suffered by many in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. While America comes to grips with the enormity of the despair, people, many of them Black, in the previously unheard of Ninth Ward of New Orleans (one of the count…
Missed by the Mass Media
INTRODUCTION\nIn 2005, estimates from state officials and tribal leaders suggested that 4,500 Native Americans lost everything in southeastern Louisiana during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Was there mass media coverage of the effect of these hurricanes on Native Americans in Louisiana? If so, then where was it? If not, then why wasn’t there any? What can be learned from a post-Katrina and -Rita examination of the media coverage about the inabilit…

Migratory Movement
This article considers the social and economic conditions under which Creoles of Color left the state of Louisiana from 1920-1940.1 Because Creoles in the years following 1920 were legally reclassified as black, many lost their land, social and legal rights, and access to education as well as the possibility of upward mobility to which they had previously had access when they were accorded the status of a distinct/legal ethnic group. Creole famil…
