Book excerpt: "Capturing Education examines the emergence and growth of the first tribal colleges. Based on extended interviews with more than a dozen founders, long-serving presidents, and non-Indian advocates, it explores the motivations of early leaders. It also describes how they overcame widespread assumptions that Indians did not need a college education or were not capable of running their own colleges. This story, rarely told, is filled with moments of drama as leaders describe how they fought to gain funding and respect. Against the odds, the men and women featured in these pages demonstrate how a good idea, when pursued with energy and idealism, can gain support and succeed."--Book cover.
Book Synopsis Beyond the Asterisk by : Heather J. Shotton
Download or read book Beyond the Asterisk written by Heather J. Shotton and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2013While the success of higher education and student affairs is predicated on understanding the students we serve, the reality is, where the Native American population is concerned, that this knowledge is generally lacking. This lack may be attributed to this population’s invisibility within the academy – it is often excluded from institutional data and reporting, and frequently noted as not statistically significant – and its relegation to what is referred to as the “American Indian research asterisk.”The purpose of this book is to move beyond the asterisk in an effort to better understand Native students, challenge the status quo, and provide an informed base for leaders in student and academic affairs, and administrators concerned with the success of students on their campuses.The authors of this book share their understanding of Native epistemologies, culture, and social structures, offering student affairs professionals and institutions a richer array of options, resources, and culturally-relevant and inclusive models to better serve this population. The book begins by providing insights into Native student experiences, presenting the first-year experience from a Native perspective, illustrating the role of a Native living/learning community in student retention, and discussing the importance of incorporating culture into student programming for Native students as well as the role of Native fraternities and sororities.The authors then consider administrative issues, such as the importance of outreach to tribal nations, the role of Tribal Colleges and Universities and opportunities for collaborations, and the development of Native American Student Services Units..The book concludes with recommendations for how institutions can better serve Native students in graduate programs, the role that Indigenous faculty play in student success, and how professional associations can assist student affairs professionals with fulfilling their role of supporting the success of Native American students, staff, and faculty. This book moves beyond the asterisk to provide important insights from Native American higher education leaders and non-Native practitioners who have made Native students a priority in their work.While predominantly addressed to the student affairs profession – providing an understanding of the needs of the Native students it serves, describing the multi-faceted and unique issues, characteristics and experiences of this population, and sharing proven approaches to developing appropriate services – it also covers issues of broader administrative concern, such as collaboration with tribal colleges; as well academic issues, such as graduate and professional education. The book covers new material, as well as expanding on topics previously addressed in the literature, including Native American Greek organizations, incorporating Native culture into student programming, and the role of Native American Special Advisors. The contributors are themselves products of colleges and universities where Native students are too often invisible, and who succeeded despite the odds. Their insights and the examples they provide add richness to this book. It will provide a catalyst for new higher education practices that lead to direct, and increased support for, Native Americans and others who are working to remove the Native American asterisk from research and practice.

Book Synopsis Standing Up to Colonial Power by : Renya K. Ramirez
Download or read book Standing Up to Colonial Power written by Renya K. Ramirez and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standing Up to Colonial Power focuses on the lives, activism, and intellectual contributions of Henry Cloud (1884-1950), a Ho-Chunk, and Elizabeth Bender Cloud (1887-1965), an Ojibwe, both of whom grew up amid settler colonialism that attempted to break their connection to Native land, treaty rights, and tribal identities. Mastering ways of behaving and speaking in different social settings and to divergent audiences, including other Natives, white missionaries, and Bureau of Indian Affairs officials, Elizabeth and Henry relied on flexible and fluid notions of gender, identity, culture, community, and belonging as they traveled Indian Country and within white environments to fight for Native rights. Elizabeth fought against termination as part of her role in the National Congress of American Indians and General Federation of Women's Clubs, while Henry was one of the most important Native policy makers of the early twentieth century. He documented the horrible abuse within the federal boarding schools and co-wrote the Meriam Report of 1928, which laid the foundation for the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. Together they ran an early college preparatory Christian high school, the American Indian Institute. Standing Up to Colonial Power shows how the Clouds combined Native warrior and modern identities as a creative strategy to challenge settler colonialism, to become full members of the U.S. nation-state, and to fight for tribal sovereignty. Renya K. Ramirez uses her dual position as a scholar and as the granddaughter of Elizabeth and Henry Cloud to weave together this ethnography and family-tribal history.
Download or read book Tribal written by Diane Roberts and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One overeducated Florida State fan confronts the religiously perverted, racially suspect, and sexually fraught nature of the sport she hates to love: college football. Diane Roberts is a self-described feminist with a PhD from Oxford. She's also a second-generation season ticket holder—and an English professor—at one of the elite college football schools in the country. It's not as if she approves of the violence and hypermasculinity on display; she just can't help herself. So every Saturday from September through December she surrenders to her Inner Barbarian. The same goes for the rest of her "tribe," those thousands of hooting, hollering, beer-swilling Seminoles who, like Roberts, spent the 2013–14 season basking in the loping, history-making Hail Marys of Jameis Winston, the team's Heisman-winning quarterback, when they weren't gawking, dumbstruck, at the headlines in which he was accused of sexual assault. In Tribal, Roberts explores college football's grip on the country at the very moment when gender roles are blurring, social institutions are in flux, and the question of who is—and is not—an American is frequently challenged. For die-hard fans, the sport is a comfortable retreat into tradition, proof of our national virility, and a reflection of an America without troubling ambiguities. Yet, Roberts argues, it is also a representation of the buried heart of this country: a game and a culture built upon the dark past of the South, secrets so obvious they hide in plain sight. With her droll Southern voice and a phrase-turning style reminiscent of Roy Blount Jr. and Sarah Vowell, Roberts offers a sociological unpacking of the sport's dubious history that is at once affectionate and cautionary.
Book Synopsis Without Destroying Ourselves by : John A. Goodwin
Download or read book Without Destroying Ourselves written by John A. Goodwin and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2022-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without Destroying Ourselves is an intellectual history of Native activism seeking greater access to and control of higher education in the twentieth century. John A. Goodwin traces themes of Henry Roe Cloud’s (Ho-Chunk) vision for Native intellectual leadership and empowerment in the early 1900s to the later missions of tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) and education-based, self-determination movements of the 1960s onward. Vital to Cloud’s work was the idea of how to build from Native identity and adapt without destroying that identity. As the central themes of the movement for Native control in higher education developed over the course of several decades, a variety of Native activists carried Cloud’s vision forward. Goodwin explores how Elizabeth Bender Cloud (Ojibwe), D’Arcy McNickle (Salish Kootenai), Jack Forbes (Powhatan-Renapé, Delaware Lenape), and others built on and contributed to this common thread of Native intellectual activism. Goodwin demonstrates that Native activism for self-determination was never snuffed out by the swing of the federal government’s pendulum away from tribal governance and toward termination. Moreover, efforts for Native control in education remained a vital aspect of that activism. Without Destroying Ourselves documents this period through the full accreditation of TCUs in the late 1970s and reinforces TCUs’ continuing relevance in confronting the unique needs and challenges of Native communities today.

Book Synopsis Reclaiming Indigenous Research in Higher Education by : Robin Zape-tah-hol-ah Minthorn
Download or read book Reclaiming Indigenous Research in Higher Education written by Robin Zape-tah-hol-ah Minthorn and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous students remain one of the least represented populations in higher education. They continue to account for only one percent of the total post-secondary student population, and this lack of representation is felt in multiple ways beyond enrollment. Less research money is spent studying Indigenous students, and their interests are often left out of projects that otherwise purport to address diversity in higher education. Recently, Native scholars have started to reclaim research through the development of their own research methodologies and paradigms that are based in tribal knowledge systems and values, and that allow inherent Indigenous knowledge and lived experiences to strengthen the research. Reclaiming Indigenous Research in Higher Education highlights the current scholarship emerging from these scholars of higher education. From understanding how Native American students make their way through school, to tracking tribal college and university transfer students, this book allows Native scholars to take center stage, and shines the light squarely on those least represented among us.
Book Synopsis Red Power Rising by : Bradley G. Shreve
Download or read book Red Power Rising written by Bradley G. Shreve and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncovers the origins of the Red Power movement During the 1960s, American Indian youth were swept up in a movement called Red Power—a civil rights struggle fueled by intertribal activism. While some define the movement as militant and others see it as peaceful, there is one common assumption about its history: Red Power began with the Indian takeover of Alcatraz in 1969. Or did it? In this groundbreaking book, Bradley G. Shreve sets the record straight by tracing the origins of Red Power further back in time: to the student activism of the National Indian Youth Council (NIYC), founded in Gallup, New Mexico, in 1961. Unlike other 1960s and ’70s activist groups that challenged the fundamental beliefs of their predecessors, the students who established the NIYC were determined to uphold the cultures and ideals of their elders, building on a tradition of pan-Indian organization dating back to the early twentieth century. Their cornerstone principles of tribal sovereignty, self determination, treaty rights, and cultural preservation helped ensure their survival, for in contrast to other activist groups that came and went, the NIYC is still in operation today. But Shreve also shows that the NIYC was very much a product of 1960s idealistic ferment and its leaders learned tactics from other contemporary leftist movements. By uncovering the origins of Red Power, Shreve writes an important new chapter in the history of American Indian activism. And by revealing the ideology and accomplishments of the NIYC, he ties the Red Power Movement to the larger struggle for human rights that continues to this day both in the United States and across the globe.

Book Synopsis Carlos Castaneda, Oportunismo Académico Y Los Psiquedélicos Años Sesenta by : Jay Courtney Fikes
Download or read book Carlos Castaneda, Oportunismo Académico Y Los Psiquedélicos Años Sesenta written by Jay Courtney Fikes and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millones de hispanohablantes consideran verídicos los libros de Carlos Castaneda, probablemente porque la mayoría de ellos no han leído esta traducción al español del libro del profesor Jay Fikes, Carlos Castaneda, oportunismo académico y los psiquedélicos años sesenta. El Dr. Fikes publicó este libro en Canadá en 1993, después de llevar a cabo años de investigación en México y en los Estados Unidos. Ahora dos españoles, Juan Samper y Lourdes Escario, han traducido el libro de Fikes sin retribución económica, convencidos de que será de provecho para todos. La afirmación central de Carlos Castaneda, haber aprendido brujería de un anciano indio yaqui llamado don Juan Matus, se contradice con las pruebas del profesor Jay Fikes. Su investigación revela que los escritos de Castaneda están basados en caricaturas de un huichol llamado Ramón Medina Silva y de otros indios mexicanos que conoció Castaneda. El libro de Fikes expone los elementos más sensacionalistas de la pseudoetnografía encantadora de Castaneda a la vez que examina quién y qué le ayudó a convertirse en un héroe antropológico y en uno de los padrinos del movimiento New Age. El libro de Fikes inspira respeto por los rituales huicholes de los primeros frutos y por las peregrinaciones del peyote, resume las ceremonias de la Native American Church y repasa los momentos culminantes de los años sesenta, la época turbulenta en la que Castaneda se convirtió en un autor de éxito. Fikes muestra cómo y por qué Aldous Huxley, el Dr. Timothy Leary, Gordon Wasson y varios antropólogos de Los Angeles contribuyeron a crear una audiencia ansiosa por creer que los cuentos chinos de Castaneda eran ciertos. Fikes explica cómo y por qué Castaneda y sus aliados antropólogos de la Universidad de California en Los Angeles hicieron de los huicholes un imán para buscadores de chamanes análogos al maestro de ficción de Castaneda, don Juan, poniendo así en peligro las ancestrales peregrinaciones del peyote de los huicholes. Algunos creyentes en las historias sensacionalistas de Castaneda contribuyeron al trágico fallo del Tribunal Supremo de los Estados Unidos de 1990, que denegaba la libertad religiosa a unos 300.000 miembros de la Native American Church que veneran el peyote. La extensa investigación de Fikes y su experiencia de primera mano con peyote entre los huicholes y en las ceremonias de la Native American Church le cualifican de modo excepcional para desacreditar las absurdas alegaciones de Castaneda sobre chamanes y peyote, entre ellas su afirmación de que el espíritu del peyote ("Mescalito") decretó su aprendizaje con don Juan Matus. El autor del prefacio, Dr. Phil Weigand, es Profesor Investigador del Centro de Estudios Arqueológicos en el Colegio de Michoacán. Ha publicado numerosos libros y artículos académicos sobre los huicholes, cuya historia y cultura empezó a estudiar en 1965 en San Sebastián con su esposa, Acelia Garcia. Los traductores de este libro, Lourdes (Clara) Escario y Juan Samper, son españoles. Lourdes Escario es licenciada en Filología Inglesa y profesora de inglés en un instituto de enseñanza secundaria en Palencia. Juan Samper es veterinario y licenciado en Filosofía. Tanto Juan Samper como Jay Fikes han llevado a cabo peregrinaciones bajo la tutela del mismo chamán huichol Jesús González. Carlos Castaneda's books are accepted as truthful by millions of Spanish speakers, probably because most of them have not read this Spanish translation of Professor Fikes' book, Carlos Castaneda, Academic Opportunism and the Psychedelic Sixties. Dr. Fikes published this book in 1993 in Canada, after completing years of research in Mexico and the United States. Now two Spaniards, Juan Samper and Lourdes Escario, have translated Fikes' book without payment, convinced that it is valuable for everybody. Carlos Castaneda's central claim, to have learned sorcery from an elderly Yaqui Indian named don Juan Matus, is contradicted by Professor Jay Fikes' evidence. Fikes'
Download or read book The Story of Act 31 written by J P Leary and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From forward-thinking resolution to violent controversy and beyond. Since its passage in 1989, a state law known as Act 31 requires that all students in Wisconsin learn about the history, culture, and tribal sovereignty of Wisconsin’s federally recognized tribes. The Story of Act 31 tells the story of the law’s inception—tracing its origins to a court decision in 1983 that affirmed American Indian hunting and fishing treaty rights in Wisconsin, and to the violent public outcry that followed the court’s decision. Author J P Leary paints a picture of controversy stemming from past policy decisions that denied generations of Wisconsin students the opportunity to learn about tribal history.

Book Synopsis On Indian Ground by : John W. Tippeconnic
Download or read book On Indian Ground written by John W. Tippeconnic and published by IAP. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Indian Ground: The Southwest is one of ten regionally focused texts that explores American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian education in depth. The text is designed to be used by educators of native youth and emphasizes best practices found throughout the state. Previous texts on American Indian education make wide-ranging general assumptions that all American Indians are alike. This series promotes specific interventions and relies on native ways of knowing to highlight place-based educational practices. On Indian Ground: The Southwest looks at the history of Indian education within the southwestern states. The authors also analyze education policy and tribal education departments to highlight early childhood education, gifted and talented educational practice, parental involvement, language revitalization, counseling, and research. These chapters expose cross-cutting themes of sustainability, historical bias, economic development, health and wellness, and cultural competence. The intended audience for this publication is primarily those educators who have American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian students in their educational institutions. The articles range from early childhood and head start practices to higher education, including urban, rural and reservation schooling practices. A secondary audience: American Indian education researcher.
