Operationalizing Peirce's Syllabus in terms of icons and stereotypes
Peirce's Syllabus is examined and used to interpret metaphoric iconic stereotypes applied to Indigenous people: "noble savage," "bloodthirsty savage," "domestic dependent nation," "vanishing race," "Indian tribe," and "ecological Indian." Efforts on the part of the Indigenous to replace the these stereotypes with different icons such as "Native American," "First Nations," and, most recently, "water protectors," are also examined. The usefulness o…
Juan Rivera’s Colorado, 1765
Thirty-one maps, sixteen black-and-white photos, twenty-five mostly archival sketches, fourteen color drawings and watercolors by Gail Sargent, and painstakingly careful attention to the narrative’s geographical descriptions in the lengthy commentary and short historiographical essays distinguish this coffee-table tome from previous transcriptions and translations. The historiographical essay, as well as portions of the commentary, re-revise a tw…
Mesa of Sorrows
It is the ruins of a large village and Spanish mission church in the territory of the Puebloan Hopi in Arizona that condemn Antelope Mesa to its sorrows. In 1700 a coalition of warriors from other Hopi villages attacked, sacked, and burned it, annihilating most of the inhabitants. A tapestry of archaeological, mythic, oral historical, ethnographic, autobiographical, and archival narratives, anecdotes, and records reveals the tale told here. Not s…
Anthropology, the indigenous and human rights
Anthropology is uniquely positioned to open a new dimension of critical human rights discourse based on engaging indigenous rights. Moving toward a critical anthropology of human rights begins from the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The charge that this document reifies 'indigenous' and 'rights' is examined in light of reifications such as 'primitive' and 'tribe', referencing Eric Wolf's assertion that cultures, societies and…
Bungalow”
“Bungalow” is used as a metaphor for a style of built environment that grew in popularity during the Art Nouveau Movement and is closely associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement. The bungalow house type provided primary spaces for displaying art pottery. Yet collectors of Puebloan pottery have been submerged in the rewriting of collecting history for the revivalist expression of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Along with correcting that distort…

Native Americans
The well-known argument by Shepard Krech (1999) that Native Americans were not in fact "the first conservationists" is tackled by examining the Western Shoshone as they were documented in the most intensive period of initial contact: 1828-1870. Particular attention is paid to their uses of fire, fish, pine nuts, antelope, and beaver. Reference is made to a model developed by Eric Smith and Mark Wishnie (2000) in which several key concepts are sal…
Band, Not-Band, orEthnie
The "White Knife" (Tosawihi) Shoshone present a classic case of the "rhetoric of classification." They epitomize the long-standing and never-resolved debate over whether or not band organization existed in the aboriginal Great Basin. Referencing eyewitness accounts, letters of Indian agents, and diaries of emigrants, explorers, trappers, and other travelers and setting them against the received ethnographic images of the Shoshone, particularly th…
Land Rights, Claims, and Western Shoshones
This essay examines the shifting legal-political discourses surrounding the concepts "claim,""property," and "rights" with regard to the Western Shoshone. It argues that an "ideology of loss" structured the Indian Claims Commission (ICC) proceedings. These proceedings parted Native Americans from their land, often despite existing treaties affirming land rights. Far from "settling" historical claims, the ICC proceedings actually produced and tran…
Pristine Aborigines or Victims of Progress
In the anthropological literature, the Western Shoshones as presented by Julian Steward loom large as a group of people who adapted as best they could to scarce resources in the high interior desert areas of North America: Utah and Nevada. Steward's work has become entrenched and enshrined as unassailable, at least from a methodological point of view. I suggest that Steward's Shoshones are an example of a tradition that has become entrenched in t…
The Leisure Class versus the Tourists
Attention to class is proposed as a heretofore unexplored part of the explanation for the development of the “native arts” market in North America. A focus on the collecting of Pueblo pottery around the turn of the twentieth century frames the discussion. Class differences account for variability in shapes, designs and sizes of ceramic items produced by Puebloan potters for sale and determined the kinds of ceramic items that were sought. Distinct…
"The Legal Effect of the Judgment"
The legal, cultural, and ecological issues surrounding Western Shoshone Indians’ claim to and use of the public domain in Nevada are examined through discussion of three cases of contested uses: plans for a mine in a proposed World Heritage Site; plans for a dam at a sacred site; and economic use of the public domain for stock grazing by a Western Shoshone family. Results of a research project aimed at documenting historic and contemporary uses o…

Ideology and Identity
Analysis of Western Shoshoni "cannibal" myths is undertaken from the standpoint of historical and cultural contexts. By comparing precontact myths with stories originally reiterated at pine-nut festivals (later called "fandangos"), I show how changes in context also brought changes in content. Whites, rather than mythic figures, became the cannibals. Thus the stories conveyed an unmistakable political message: whites are cannibals and thus are ne…

The Hopi Traditionalist Movement
INTRODUCTION\nIn 1946, an elderly and respected member of the Bluebird clan and spokesman for the kikrnongwi (villagechief) of Shungopavi village announced in a meeting that, in the early days of his training and instruction as a religious leader, he was told that when a gourd of ashes fell from the sky, he was to tell certain teachings, traditions, and prophecies that had been previously secret. Leaders of other clans mentioned the same instruct…

It is regarded by some as the source of Indian self-determination and by others as an inst…
