Vital Relations
Relationality is a core principle of Indigenous studies, yet there is relatively little work that assesses what building relations looks like in practice, especially in the messy context of Native nations' governance. Focusing on the unique history and context of Osage nation building efforts, this insightful ethnography provides a deeper vision of the struggles Native nation leaders are currently facing. Exploring the Osage philosophy of moving …
Beyond #LandBack
While the #LandBack movement has captured popular imagination, it remains unconvincing to many settlers who are the primary landowners in settler states. This article seeks to expand Indigenous studies understandings of the LandBack movement by looking at the strategic relations the Osage Nation used to get back 43,000 acres of land in 2016. Such strategic relations are mired in colonial and capitalist systems, but they are also how many Native n…
Moving to a New Country Again
As Native nations reclaim dominion over our histories, stories, and territories, we continue to grapple with how to transform our governance systems to navigate ongoing settler colonialism. Building on existing discussions about the importance of reintroducing Indigenous values into contemporary governance in the face of the politics of recognition, we offer the Osage principle of "moving to a new country." This principle marks the reproduction o…
Relational accountability in Indigenous governance
Indigenous Studies has experienced a recent surge of scholarship concerning relationality, but more discussion is still needed about what it might mean to build healthy internal Indigenous governance relations. As ongoing colonial processes have distorted governance systems, most Indigenous peoples deeply distrust all governmental systems, including their own. Using the Osage Nation as a case example, this chapter will detail some of the colonial…
Decolonizing the Academy
The Graduate Certificate in Participatory Research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is intended for graduate and professional students who desire training in carrying out research in equitable partnership with, instead of on, communities. This article, written collaboratively by five of the participants in the development of the Certificate, highlights critical practices vital to efforts toward decolonizing academic research: (a…
Entangled sovereignties
Even as Indigenous authority over land remains under attack through ongoing settler-colonial processes, Native nations continue to pursue their own agendas. Like the negotiations around sovereignty across the globe, the result is a web of interconnected authorities. Native nations, US counties and states, the federal government, and various corporations constantly deploy creative tactics, calculated disruptions, and negotiated compromises in an e…
Situating Graphic Anthropology
While much has been written on the potential of film, photography, and to a lesser extent visual art and hypermedia to communicate ethnographic information, there has been little discussion of the potential for graphic design. Drawing inspiration from the graphic design work of Buffalo Nickel Creative, which was commissioned to accompany an ethnographic text, this article will explore some of the possibilities graphic design offers the field of a…
The Logic of Recognition
Whitewashing Indigenous Oklahoma and Chicano Arizona
This article interrogates the various tactics settler colonial legal systems use in establishing and entrenching authority over territories. By comparing a recent Osage Nation reservation court case with Arizona House Bill (HB) 2281, enacted into law as Ariz. Rev. Stats. § 15-112, which has been used to ban Mexican American/Raza Studies (MARS) from the classroom, it is possible to illustrate the varied processes by which legal systems attempt to …
Stitching Osage Governance into the Future
The writers of the 2006 Osage Constitution had to work against processes of settler colonialism which attempt to deny Indigenous peoples a political future. The Constitution provides a foundation, but much work still remains in order to build a strong Osage Nation that can truly serve its people. This paper uses the metaphor of Osage ribbon work to envision such a future for Osage governance, moving away from the binaries that underwrite colonial…

Our Heritage, Our Future
This article provides a close reading of the South Florida: Peoples and Environment exhibit at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville, Florida, as a means to illustrate how the results of archaeology are put to work in a museum space. I provide an ethnographical analysis of some of the impacts the South Florida exhibit has on visitors' connections to the past, existence in the present, and imaginings of the future. In particular, I …
