Indigenous Peoples
Shaping Up Planet Earth
The U.S. National Academy of Sciences played a major role in preparing for the International Geophysical Year (IGY). The IGY organizers realized the importance of selling U.S. participation in international science and thus began a public relations effort by the mid-1950s that included the production of classroom materials and a film series, called Planet Earth, designed for television. This is the story of their efforts to bring the earth, atmos…
Research in the North American North
The political mobilization of indigenous peoples in the North American North has resulted in new guidelines, statements of ethical principles, and consultative processes for the conduct of scientific research. This article explores the history of large-scale physical science in the North, the development of ethical principles for research conduct in Canada and the United States, and the potential difficulties of bridging the gaps between scientis…
Churchill Peaks and the politics of naming
The highest mountain in North America bears two official names. While most visitors to Denali National Park in Alaska are familiar with the mountain's official name ‘McKinley,’ and with the frequently used Athabaskan name ‘Denali,’ the mountain also has a second official name: Churchill Peaks. This article traces the history and politics of naming Alaska's famous mountain, including the events that led to the addition of Churchill Peaks. Those ev…
Claiming territory
A political scientist explores the process leading to the establishment of Saami Assemblies in Sweden, Norway, and Finland and reviews claims advanced through these assemblies for rights to land and natural resources in the northern regions of those countries. Initial sections examine reasons for variations in the relative status of each country's Assembly, followed by an assessment of the Assemblies’ efforts to enhance ethnic identity and cultur…
Claiming Memory in British Columbia
INTRODUCTION\nWhile attending a meeting of a Saami organization in northern Sweden, I introduced myself to an older fellow during a coffee break. ”From America?”he asked and paused. “When do you go back?” I replied that I planned to return in a couple of months. He smiled. “You’ll go back,’’ he said, ”and we will forget you were ever here.” This remark from a Saami who was old enough to remember the era of segregation, the political mobilization …
Problem Definition and the Alaska Natives
This case study of an ethnoterritorial minority's role in agenda setting argues that the extant agenda setting literature does not take into account different cultural perceptions of the definitions of problems. Using the hearings on the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, the differen- ces in understanding of the problem by the Alaskan natives who testified before the Committee and the Senators who received the testimony are examined
Nordic Security and the Saami Minority
International law posits territory as an essential component of a state's sovereignty. Indigenous peoples, like the Saami of Norway, Sweden, and Finland (collectively known as Fennoscandia), have challenged this definition of territory in their claims for self-determination and autonomy within and across sovereign states. At the international level, indigenous peoples demand that states recognize special indigenous rights to land and water. At th…
