Resisting Palestine's Partition
This essay revisits the United Nations’ adoption of Resolution 181 (II) in 1947 that led to Palestine's partition. Its focus is on the resistance to partition by Canadian diplomat and Middle Eastern specialist Elizabeth MacCallum, as well as by representatives of the Arab states and allies in the UN. An extensive review of both Canadian and UN archival sources reveals that resistance to partition was much stronger than conventional accounts sugge…
Notes on Native Studies in the U.S. and Canada
Food as Ideology
This research conceptualizes preferences for local foods (i.e., locavorism) as an emergent consumer ideology and develops a multidimensional scale to measure it. Prior socioeconomics and psychology research has uncovered correlates of local food preferences and offered some possible theoretical explanations. By synthesizing and expanding these past findings and perspectives, this research presents a tripartite framework for understanding locavori…
The ‘Cat's Paw’
Readings in Canadian Native Studies
Native Studies in Canada is on a par with that in the U.S.A., both in terms of publications and quality of academic programs. The Native population is similar in the two countries but the Native proportion of the total population of Canada is several times greater in Canada than in the U.S. Because of their population, aboriginal rights and land claims, and their predominance over large areas of northern Canada, Natives are important in Canadian …

Intersocietal Relationships by Evolutionary Levels among North American Indians
E VOLUTIONARY THEORY HAS proven to be valuable in understanding the processes of development that occur within societies. This article extends that theory in an examination of some of the patterns related to evolutionary levels that occur between societies, with emphasis on North American Indian situations. It examines four degrees of intersocietal integration: (1) first contacts, (2) low, (3) medium, and (4) high. For example, the French had rel…

Prestige and Culture
Examination of human prestige-striving in phylogenetic perspective suggests it to be essentially homologous with primate social dominance. In our own species, however, selection for "cultural capacity" has transformed striving for social dominance into striving to evaluate the self as being higher in rank than others or, in other words, into striving for self-esteem. We maintain self-esteem through symbolic means, usually referred to as seeking "…

An Applied Analysis of North American Indian Drinking Patterns
Some American Indian societies have had alcoholic beverages and recognized the problems related to excessive drinking since aboriginal times while others have acquired these problems with the historic introduction of alcohol. These problems have become extremely serious with the breakdown of traditional cultural controls in a context of racial discrimination, frustrations related to low economic success, peer group pressures to drink socially, an…

The Stereotyping of North American Indians in Motion Pictures
The portrayal of Indians in motion pictures has been roughly twenty-two years in the formation of negative stereotypes in the days of silent films (1908-1929), eighteen years of the use of extremely negative stereotypes, especially in serials (1930-1947), and then over twenty-five years of breaking down the stereotypes (after 1948). The popular image projected was that of a horse-riding tribal warrior of the Plains and Southwest in the late 1800'…

The Economic Organization of the Outcasts of Feudal Tokyo
The records of civilized societies have tended to be written by, for, and about the elite. Thus, history says very little about the lower classes. This is particularly true of outcastes who are ideologically outside of normal society. In early Japan when census tabulations were taken the outcastes were not usually included because they were not considered to be real Some maps were made without outcaste settlements drawn in and maps were foreshort…
