Abstract: Thirty-two male and female adolescents of native ancestry (Ojibwa)
and 32 controls were tested using (1) four WISC-R subtests and (2) two dichotic
listening tasks which employed a focused-attention paradigm for processing
consonant-vowel combinations (CVs) and musical melodies. On the WISC-R, natives
scored higher than controls on Block Design and Picture Completion subtests but
lower on Vocabulary and Similarities subtests. On laterality measures more
native males showed a left ear advantage on the CV task and the melody task.
For CVs the left ear advantage was due to native males' lower right ear (i.e.,
left hemisphere) involvement. For melodies, the laterality index pointed to
less left hemisphere involvement for native males, however, the raw scores
showed that natives were performing lower overall. The findings are consistent
with culturally-based strategy differences, possibly linked to
'hemisphericity,' but additional clarifying research regarding the cause and
extent of such differences is warranted. Thus, implications for education are
premature but a focus on teaching 'left hemisphere type' strategies to all
individuals not utilizing such skills, including many native males, may prove
beneficial. (Abstract by: Author)

Abstract: Professor Cleland has undertaken the Herculean task of transforming
the technical academic jargon concerning Native American history in the upper
Great Lakes, as recorded by anthropologists and physical scientists, into
understandable and appealing prose for the general reader. This is a formidable
problem that the author has handled smoothly when discussing ethnological and
ethnohistorical topics. However, when explaining familial and kin relations,
his manuscript is somewhat technical. It is a subject that the author
approaches with an honest attempt at refraining from the use of anthropological
terminology but in the end is forced to rely on technical linguistic terms,
simply because there are no alternatives for explaining such relationships.
Mr. Cleland has incorporated a geographic model wherein the state of Michigan
serves as the focal point for his ethnohistories of various Native American
peoples that have resided in the Upper Great Lakes. The author examines the
pre-Columbian and post-contact periods but concentrates on explaining
eighteenth and nineteenth century developments. The political state of Michigan
(which was created in has, in the author's opinion, "had an increasingly
important role in the course of the history of its native people"(p. v);
however, in this book it does not limit the scope of the manuscript, it merely
offers a point of reference - a beginning place that the reader can identify.
Furthermore, he has effectively discussed Native peoples' north/ south divisions
and differences that define, in part, the ethnic identifications of those
groups as Ojibwa, Potawatomi, Ottawa, Menominee, and Miami. Even though members
of these "tribes", a term the author tends to question, lived in both
the northern forests and the more southern plains, the author argues that
subtle differences emerged over time between the residents of the two
environments.
The northern bands acquired the majority of their food from fishing and
hunting. Historical observers, the author points out, often were puzzled by the
insistence of Ojibwas and other northern bands that their livelihood was
hunting when, in fact, it seems the bulk of their food supply came from
fishing. The superior status of hunting is evident, Cleland writes, because, to
the Ojibwa "there are no magical songs for catching fish and even their
word for whitefish ... is Atikameg, a variant of the word caribou, Atik. Even
as the Ojibwa fish, they hunt" (p. 45).
Due to the poor growing conditions in the northern forest it appears that some
villages moved onto the wide flood plains near large rivers and streams and
cultivated a variety of crops. For this reason, Cleland contends the southern
tribes were farmers. Corn, beans, and squash provided a more stable food
supply, that was also supplemented by hunting. Still, the author points out
that southern and northern villages remained about the same in size - about
seventy-five to one hundred fifty residents.
The author has, from the onset of the manuscript, attempted to keep the
discussion of Indian peoples' beliefs, customs and values free of white
Anglo-Saxon biases. He has gone to great extremes to tell the story from the
perspective of the "losers of history" - the Indians. This point of
view is clearly present within the bulk of the book but particularly in its
descriptions of events and the characters involved in the post-contact era. Mr.
Cleland has accumulated extensive information about contemporary Native
Americans who live in Michigan and under what conditions they are attempting to
maintain their cultural identity - in an openly hostile environment.
Rites of Conquest examines Michigan's Native peoples collective history and
describes their story by citing the past as seen from an Indian peoples'
perspective. Ron Paquin and Robert Doherty in Not First In Nobody's Heart
describe a contemporary Indian's life - that of a Chippewa man - to serve as an
example of a people's history in the modern age. Ron Paquin has suffered from
all the worst problems associated with Native Americans living in poverty on
the edge of society: broken families, abusive parents, alcoholism, poor
education, unsanitary conditions, lack of job skills, and a poor diet. Ron's
story is a microcosmic reflection of the plight his people face in modern
American culture.
As the story unfolds Ron is living in a filthy, unkempt cabin where his abusive
parents are unable and unwilling to provide the one element a child needs to
develop normally-love. All that is terrible and disgusting in life the author
lives through and accepts as normal for he has known nothing else. The living
conditions were so miserable that Ron, like other poor kids with no future,
turned to crime and eventually was caught.
Reform school to prison were stepping stones that the author passed over along
his path to discovery; a journey that culminated in being Chippewa and proud of
a heritage that most of his life he never understood nor even acknowledged.
Like many contemporary Native Americans, Ron's story is mired in squalor, pain,
poverty, and coping with an openly hostile white society. Ron found happiness
and the love he so desperately desired in his Indian wife and their family. Not
only did he find satisfaction in a being a father and husband but also in
discovering his Indian culture.
Even though this is not a story with the perfect ending where everyone is
happily Jogging down the path of life-there are positive elements. Finding a
life away from the underside of society was clearly satisfying to Ron. However,
it also is evident that part of the reason he has progressed "out of the
depths of despair" can be attributed to discovering his past - his Indian
past. Although short lived, it seems that Ron Paquin's happiest moments were
when he was building traditional Chippewa projects for the St. Ignace museum.
This connection was severed when certain "Indian experts" brought
large scale funding to the work and pushed the Indians out of the way. Ron and
his life, therefore, can be seen as one more in a series of cases where white
society overwhelms and destroys an individual in an effort to preserve that
person's culture. This text is excellent for contemporary sociology or
introductory cultural anthropology students since it is written from a first
person perspective. As for Its use in a historical study, it is more
appropriate as a suggested reading rather than a required text.

environmental assessment in Canada's north. Unpublished doctoral
dissertation, University of Waterloo (Canada).
Abstract: The combination of important political changes, the economic
development of renewable and non-renewable resources, social and cultural
change and ecological impacts has created a dynamic and uncertain context for
environmental decision-making in Canada's north. To be effective in such a
context, this thesis argues, organizations and institutions must be flexible
and responsive to these forces of change; i.e. they must be adaptive. The case
studies include the Federal Environmental Assessment and Review Process (EARP),
the Kativik Environmental Quality Commission (KEQC), the Environmental
Screening and Review Process in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, the proposed
Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB), the proposed Dene/Metis Environmental
Impact Review Board and the proposed Environmental Assessment and Review Process
for the Government of the Northwest Territories. The thesis recommends that
more attention be devoted to the imperative of institutional and organizational
adaptiveness by actors currently involved in northern environmental assessment
and by designers of future processes. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

M.-A. l. (1994). The relationship between self-esteem and the variables of
cooperativeness and competition within the Aboriginal culture (Manitoba).
Unpublished doctoral dissertation, The University of Southern Mississippi.
Abstract: The relationship between self-esteem and the variables of
competitiveness and cooperativeness within an Aboriginal culture and whether
this relationship differed according to the variables of gender, age, and enculturation
was determined in this study. The sample consisted of a random selection of 108
Aboriginal students, 47 males and 61 females, drawn from grades 10 to 12, at a
collegiate in Northern Manitoba. There were 57 Status, 6 non-Status, and 45
Metis and the students ranged in age from 14 to 24 years. These subjects were
administered Form A of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory and The Aboriginal
Enculturation/Competitive/Cooperative Instrument. Four clear dimensions were
found to describe Enculturation, Competition, Coopersmith SEI, and Cooperation.
Both, Total Cooperation and Cooperation-Modesty, loaded highly on the
Enculturation dimension. Cooperation is a dominant and influential aspect of
the Aboriginal culture. Competition-Teamwork loaded highly on the Cooperation
factor, leading to the conclusion that Cooperation and Competition are not on
opposite ends of a continuum, but rather are entwined. Cooperation Control
loaded negatively on the Coopersmith SEI factor, suggesting that the SEI as an
instrument for measuring the Self-Esteem of Aboriginal people may not be valid.
Furthermore, the low Goodness of Fit Index that was obtained in performing the
Confirmatory Analysis of the SEI also supports this conclusion. Significant
differences were found for three of six hypotheses. Age had a minimal
relationship with both cooperation and enculturation. The variable of
cooperation related negatively with SEI Total and with General Self. The
variables of enculturation and competition were found to be negatively
correlated, while the variables of enculturation and cooperation were
positively related. As cooperation is such a great part of the Aboriginal
enculturation, this would seem to have a deleterious effect on the self-esteem
score, because the SEI portrayed a tendency to decrease as cooperation
increased.

L. E. (1996). Economy, race and gender along the Fox-Wisconsin and Rock
riverways, 1737-1832 (Iowa, OntarioO. Unpublished doctoral dissertation,
Northern Illinois University.
Abstract: This dissertation examines a northern borderland region's economy
during the gradual transition from Indian to white hegemony, evaluating the
impact of race, ethnicity, and gender on economic practice, and vice versa. The
focus is on the area from Green Bay, Wisconsin, along the Fox and Wisconsin
Rivers, to Prairie du Chien on the Mississippi River, including the region
south to the Rock River and a small section of present-day Iowa around Dubuque.
During the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, these river systems
constituted a crucial link between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River;
their banks were populated with Indian and multi-racial communities, including
fur trade centers and lead mining areas where Indian women, and later white and
black men, dug for ore. The study describes the regional economy as it evolved
over the century between the Fox Wars and the Black Hawk War (1737-1832). It
examines the sexual division of labor, and the external trade relations of the
Indian villages--especially those of the Winnebagos, Sauks, and Mesquakies
(also known as Fox Indians)--and compares them to communities of Euro-Americans
and of multi-racial families, such as Prairie du Chien and Green Bay. Exchange
within and between local economies as well as regional and international markets
is emphasized. This research explores villagers' participation in agricultural
production and the fur trade and compares Indian, Metis, and Euro-American lead
mining, domestic economy, and other types of production, such as maple sugar
making. It examines adaptations and continuities in gender roles as regional
and local economies persisted and changed over time. Central to this study are
the parts played by gender roles and economic organization in determining
multicultural accommodation or conflict, including their impact on dynamics
leading up to the Black Hawk War.

P. O. (1999). Potawatomi transformation: Potawatomi responses to Catholic
and Baptist mission strategy and competition, 1822-1872 (Native Americans).
Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Saint Louis University.
Abstract: In the nineteenth century the Potawatomi, Native American tribe,
responded favorably to Catholic missionary efforts to inculturate Catholic
Sacramental and devotional practices. More than two thousand Potawatomi people
over a fifty year span of time, 1822 to 1872, inculturated Catholic religious
practices and adopted many elements of Western civilization. They did so in
response to the mission efforts carried out by Jesuits and Sisters of the
Society of the Sacred Heart and because of their indigenous faith practices.
Even though the Potawatomi responded well to Catholic missions and
missionaries, they were not so eager to embrace the approaches of missionaries
from other Christian groups who sought to convert them. In fact, the Baptists,
led by Isaac McCoy, were the other principle Christian tradition which sought
to transform Potawatomi faith and cultural practices during the time period
under consideration. They were largely unsuccessful. Hence, an effort to
discern and uncover the factors which explain the success of the one and the
failure of the other are addressed in the dissertation. In order to encounter
the reasons for the disparity between Catholic mission success and Baptist
mission failure the dissertation is divided into seven chapters. Each chapter
seeks to uncover the issues which may have contributed to the differences in
Potawatomi responses to these two faith traditions. The first chapter
introduces the basic argument, terminology, and methods employed. Potawatomi
cosmology, culture, social structure and religious practices are examined in
chapter two. Chapters three and four examine the mission strategies employed by
the Catholic and Baptist missionaries in Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Kansas and how the Potawatomi responded to these various strategies. Chapter
five is focused on education of children and adults. The sixth chapter explores
the relationships between Catholic Sacraments, devotional practices with that
of Potawatomi religious practices. The final chapter summarizes the argument of
the dissertation.

J. (1989). White captives: gender and ethnicity on successive American
frontiers, 1607-1862. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Brandeis
University.
Abstract: The American frontier has long been recognized as an important area
of study. One of the largest and most evocative sources about the interaction
between Euro-Americans and Indians is captivity materials--narratives,
paintings, etchings, sculpture, and films which give accounts of life on the
frontier. In past scholarship this material has been viewed primarily as
propaganda favoring Indian extermination, evidence for the projection of ideas
of savagery onto Indians, and as ethnographic information. This dissertation
seeks to demonstrate that captivity materials offered earlier generations new
ways of looking at gender and ethnic relations. They did so by placing women
and children, the most vulnerable members of white society, in a foreign
environment, thereby contrasting Anglo-American roles and values with those of
a variety of Indian societies. The method of inquiry compares men and women, as
well as captives in different periods and on successive frontiers. Period and
geography range from colonial New England to mid-nineteenth century Minnesota.
The materials used include the various captivity genres mentioned, along with
ethnographic works, government documents, newspapers, and private
correspondence. For both sexes, gendered archetypes developed as expressions of
the challenge of capture and Indian-white coexistence. Part I discusses these
archetypes as well as the sexual attitudes expressed in the various captivity
materials. Portrayals of captive women in both sections feature issues of
female survival, independence, and competence. Part II highlights three female
captives. An examination of Jane McCrea's legend demonstrates a concern for the
direction of young women's choices in the early Republic. Mary Jemison's and
Sarah Wakefield's stories argue for seeing some works as presenting
accommodation and understanding of the 'other' as alternatives to
nineteenth-century American policy. This study concludes that while elements of
horror, propaganda, myth making, and ethnographic documentary were significant,
captivity materials also vividly portrayed the anxieties of Anglo-America about
the migration process and the impact it could have on gender roles, family
survival, and the process of nation building.

Abstract: In 1976 the National American Indian Court Judges Association was
awarded a one year contract to study Indian court systems, identify their main
strengths and weaknesses, develop a set of model standards, name four model
courts with whom to test the model standards, and propose a five year plan of
support for Indian courts. Written materials relating to Indian courts and the
advice of people knowledgeable in Indian court problems were utilized.
Twenty-three courts varying in geographic location, size, types of problems,
kind of court, and jurisdiction were visited: Blackfeet, Coeur d-Alene,
Colorado River, Colville, Fort Peck, Gila River, Hopi, Isleta Peublo, Jicarilla
Apache, Menominee, Metlakatla, Navajo, Nevada Colonies, Oglala Sioux, Papago, Red
Lake Chippewa, San Carlos Apache, San Juan Pueblo, Suquamish, Uintah and
Ouray, Warm Springs, Yakima, and Zuni Pueblo. This report discusses the legal
and historical basis for Indian courts; describes their present status and
problems; identifies several strengths and weaknesses of Indian courts;
presents the Model Standards for Indian Judicial Systems which were developed,
along with a proposal that they be implemented immediately by four Indian
courts serving as model courts; and presents a five year plan of support for
Indian courts covering individual court needs assessment, tribal legislation,
facilities and equipment, court related services, personnel, community
relations and education, the National Indian Judiciary Research Institute, data
collection, training, interagency coordination, and Congressional action. (NQ)

Abstract: In this statement on H.R. 13343 presented to the Committee on
Government Operations, the National Tribal Chairmen's Association, along with
the National Congress of American Indians and the Alaska Federation of Natives,
has voiced an "emphatic and uncompromising no" to the transfer of Indian
education out of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and into the proposed
Department of Education. Exercising self- determination as mandated by the
Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, numerous tribal
governments have prepared responses to H.R. 13343. This testimony indicates
99.5% of the federally recognized tribes have said "no" to H.R.
13343. Among the many tribal statements quoted here are negative responses from
the Shoshone Bannock, Southern Ute, Utah Ute, Mescalero Apache, Oneida,
Colville Confederated and Comanche Tribes, the Yankton Sioux, the Red Cliff
Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Taos Pueblo, Picuris Pueblo, etc. Among the
concerns presented by these and other tribal governments are the following:
fragmentation of Indian education services, disregard for federal trust
responsibility, disregard for Indian preference, elimination of schools
separately established for Indians, undermining of tribal sovereignty, conflict
with P.L. 93-638 and the contracting education programs that provide for Indian
control, loss of BIA's working relationship with Indian tribal organizations,
etc. (JC)

Abstract: A commonly held theory is that the first wave of migrants into the
New World was derivative from the ethnic groups then inhabiting eastern Siberia.
However, these ethnic groups jack a mtDNA haplogroup (B) that is well
represented in Amerindian tribes. Also, the time depth of the other three mtDNA
haplogroups found in Amerindians (A, C, and D) appears to be greater in the
Amerindians than in the eastern Siberian ethnic groups. In this communication
we demonstrate that the human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type II, present in 11
of the 38 Amerindian tribes thus far examined, is not present in any of the 10
ethnic groups of eastern Siberia that we have studied. However, the virus has
just been reported in the indigenous population of Mongolia, and mtDNA
haplogroup B is also represented in this region. On the basis of these facts,
we propose that the ancestors of the first migrants to the New World were not
derived from north and central Siberia but from populations to the south,
inhabiting the regions of Mongolia, Manchuria, and/or the extreme southeastern
tip of Siberia. [References: 50]

D. A. (1986). An analysis of variations in bone density and cortical loss in
three Native American skeletal populations (mineral analysis, Midwest).
Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Michigan State University.
Abstract: This study examines
variations in cortical bone loss after mid-adulthood among three archaeological
populations from the Midwest. Hypotheses concerning intrasite (age and sex) and
inter-population variation are tested with data obtained from the femoral
cortices of 123 specimens. It is suggested that differences in subsistence,
particularly diet, are related to the differences in cortical gain and loss at
the three sites. One population represents hunter-gatherers from the Archaic
and Woodland components at the Black Earth site, Illinois. The other two
populations, from the Larson Phase (Middle
Mississippian) at Dickson Mounds and the eighteenth-century Fletcher site,
Michigan, represent maize agriculturalists. Rectangular pieces of cortical bone
approximately 1 x 1.5 cm. were excised from the anterior femoral shaft of each
specimen. Photon absorptiometric techniques were applied to each sample in
order to determine the bone mineral content, and cortical thickness was
measured directly on each sample with Vernier calipers. A bone density index
was calculated from the ratio of bone mineral index (g/cm('2)) to cortical
thickness (cm), yielding a mass per volume value in terms of g/cm('3) of
cortical bone. The result of the intra-site (age and sex) analysis support the
proposition that members of all three populations lose cortical bone after midadulthood.
The data also indicate that females lose more bone than do males after
midadulthood (at the Black Earth site). Results from the comparisons between
sites support the proposition that the hunter-gatherers and agriculturalists
differ in the amount and patterning of cortical loss after midadulthood.
Specifically, the agriculturalists in this study lost more bone mineral,
cortical thickness, and bone density with advancing age than did the
hunter-gatherers. A comparison of the relative changes in the three variables
at the sites indicated that the maize agriculturalists lost proportionately
more bone mineral than cortical thickness after midadulthood, and therefore
exhibit a loss of bone density. The hunger-gatherers, on the other hand, lost
proportionately similar amounts of bone mineral and cortical thickness, thereby
maintaining or slightly increasing their bone density after midadulthood. It is
suggested that nutritional stress associated with a maize-based diet accounts
for the greater bone loss observed among the agriculturalists.

(Mookomaan Zaaga'igan), Quetico Provincial Park, Ontario. Unpublished
doctoral dissertation, Trent University (Canada).
Abstract: Knife Lake, from the Ojibwa Mookomaan zaaga'igan, lies on the
Ontario-Minnesota border. A field survey including both the shoreline and the
adjacent bush on the Ontario side of the lake was conducted to determine the
extent of quarry activity. Twenty quarry sites were found. Evidence of quarry
activity included the presence of flake scars on bedrock and boulders,
hammerstones, hammerstone marks adjacent to quarry faces, and quarry debris. In
addition, intact and broken preforms were recovered from quarry sites and
adjacent campsites. Geological samples were obtained and those from quarry
sites were overwhelmingly fine-grained Knife Lake siltstone (94%), while
non-quarry samples were predominantly coarser-grained (77%). Neutron activation
analysis of quarry samples showed that Knife Lake siltstone was distinct from
all except some Lake of the Woods chert samples. Flakes from 7 of the 9
archaeological sites analyzed closely matched the Knife Lake quarry samples.
Thin-sections of Knife Lake siltstone indicated it is composed of silt-sized
particles. Its high silica content and metamorphosed nature indicate it should
be called Knife Lake silicified metasiltstone.

Abstract: On the same day in 1986 that Brian Mulroney signed an international
Proclamation to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination, his government fired
Mary Pitawanakwat from a government office in Regina, Saskatchewan. After an
investigation in 1988 and 1989, the Human Rights Commission confirmed many of
the incidents, including discriminatory remarks against Aboriginal people,
touching of her buttocks, and sexual innuendos in office memos, all creating a
poisoned work environment. The government asked a federal court judge to bar
the parties in the suit from carrying the case forward. In April 1991, the
court ruled against the government, but threw out sexual harassment charges on
a technicality, making Pitawanakwat refile them separately. Her case has won
support from labor, women's rights organizations, and Aboriginal groups. S.

territory of Wisconsin (Volumes I and II). Unpublished doctoral
dissertation, The University of Chicago.
Abstract: Beginning shortly after a U.S. Court of Appeals decision in 1983,
upholding federal treaties signed in the mid-nineteenth century, the Ojibwa
people of Lac du Flambeau began to both hunt deer on the lands, and spearfish
prized gamefish in the lakes off their reservation both in spite, and because of
growing local non-Indian opposition. By 1989, the conflict had escalated to the
point of engaging the sustained attention of both the state government and the
state's congressional delegation. The conflict process engendered a cultural
renaissance on the reservation. I argue that this ethnic reorganization is
continuous with Lac du Flambeau's long tradition of creatively transforming its
relationship to dominant and encompassing cultural, social, political and
economic orders. I show how a distinct Ojibwa order of value has played an
important role in configuring the band's history, and the history and meaning
of the conflict over spearfishing in the 1980s.

Abstract: Several tribes of North American Indians are known to have poor
glucose control and are at a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Similarly
some tribes also exhibit RA at a high frequency. We have recently determined
that a subset of Caucasian patients with RA mount an immune response to IgG
modified with advanced glycation endproducts (AGE). The AGE modifications on
IgG in vivo include N-epsilon-(carboxymethyl) lysine, imidazolone and pentosidine.
The presence of IgG-AGE and the antibody response to the IgG-AGE in the Ojibwe
tribe of First Nations native Indians where both NIDDM and RA are prevalent was
investigated. AGE modified IgG and albumin were determined using a modified
nitroblue tetrazolium assay. Rheumatoid factors (RFs) and IgM and IgA
anti-IgG-AGE were detected by ELISA. Of the 108 individuals tested, 21 had RA
only, 3 had both RA and type 2 diabetes, 30 had type 2 diabetes only and 51 had
no diagnosed disease. AGE modified IgG was significantly elevated in the RA
group compared to the diabetic group. IgM and IgA RFs were detected in 83% and
50% of the RA patients, compared to 31-37% and 7-10% of the diabetics or normal
individuals. IgM anti-IgG-AGE was detected in 54% of the RA patients, in
contrast to 7-14% in the diabetics or normal individuals. IgA anti-IgG-AGE was
detected in 42% of the RA patients and only 7 to 8% of the NIDDM or normal
individuals. The IgM or IgA anti-IgG-AGE antibodies likely contribute to the
accumulation of IgG-AGE, possibly through blocked clearance through AGE
receptors. A trend towards more severe disease was seen in those Ojibwe RA
patients with circulating anti-AGE antibodies. Non-enzymatic glycation may be
an important pathogenic link in the RA seen in North American Indians.

Abstract: Personal pronouns with first person n and second person m have been
claimed to be frequent in the native languages of the Americas, widespread
there, and rare elsewhere, and thus to indicate genetic unity of Amerind. A
controlled cross-linguistic survey shows that these pronouns have an extensive
yet restricted geographical range limited to the western Americas, and that
they recur (though not frequently) elsewhere around the Pacific rim. This
distribution removes the strongest (and perhaps the only) evidence for genetic
relatedness of Amerind. In addition, on statistical grounds the n:m paradigm
fails as a diagnostic of genetic relatedness, though equally clearly it cannot
be due to universals or random chance. Certain other linguistic features and
one mitochondrial DNA lineage have much the same geographical and statistical
distribution. Though the language families in which these features appear
cannot be shown to be genetically related, the families have clearly had some
shared history (the type and degree not precisely specifiable) in the distant past.
The n:m pronouns reflect a single, datable, noninitial and nonterminal phase in
the settlement of the Americas and are probably the best linguistic marker of
that phase.* [References: 22]

transition zone of Western Manitoba (Canada). Unpublished doctoral

Abstract: Viewed from the perspective of prehistory, the forest/grassland
transition zone of western Manitoba has remained an unknown and largely
uninvestigated tract of land, lying between the southern boreal forest
Woodlands to the east, and the Northern Plains to the west. It is an area
characterized by marked topographical and ecological diversity when compared to
adjacent regions and biomes. Virtually all of the important subsistence
resources of the adjacent forest and plains biomes are to be found within this
forest/grassland transition zone. In addition, these diverse resources can be
found to occur within a moderate distance of each other due to the mosaic
pattern of habitats which characterize the distribution of the parkland
vegetation. This thesis examines the interactive dynamics of the physical,
biological and cultural variables operative in the study area, with the goal of
developing models which account for the patterns observed in the archaeological
record. These patterns result from activities associated with the local human
ecology and the prehistoric adaptive strategies which developed and were
utilized by the aboriginal occupants of the study area. The early ethnohistoric
accounts of the region have provided sufficient information to reconstruct the
basic subsistence pattern of the Assiniboine, Cree, and Ojibwa, who utilized
the area during the period of European contact. In addition, it has been
possible to outline the adaptive changes in subsistence strategy which these
several groups undertook in response to environmental and technological variables
which resulted from the European inroads. The Prehistoric period, dating from
the commencement of retreat of the continental glaciers 12,000 years ago, is
much more complex. The cohesive pattern that integrates developments throughout
this timespan is a pattern of flexible demographic and cultural response to new
or changed environmental opportunities. While the details of adaptive
strategies varied from group to group, the general patterns of subsistence can
be shown to conform to a limited number of basic models which are closely tied
to the environmental parameters of the biomes under consideration. The human
ecology of the forest/grassland transition zone of western Manitoba is
characterized by patterns of flexibility in cultural response to changing environmental
opportunities. The resulting adaptive strategies, which have been identified
and modelled, indicate a varied repertoire of social and technological systems
by means of which the various cultural groups effectively exploited the
resources which were available. In addition, it can be demonstrated that 'risk
reducing strategies' were employed to more fully exploit unique or temporary
situations afforded by the interactions of physical, biological, and cultural
variables affecting the total human environment.

Abstract: The effects of a 500-kV transmission line on bird populations were
assessed by comparing paired treatment areas (which included a transmission
line and right-of-way (ROW)) with similar control areas in 6 different habitat
types during the breeding and migration seasons. Habitat structure was measured
to examine the inherent differences between control and treatment areas. Using
2 census methods, territorial mapping and transect counts, it was determined
that sedge wrens and LeConte's sparrows had lower breeding-population densities
in treatment areas than in control areas. LeConte's sparrows and Connecticut
warblers occurred at greater mean distances from the transmission line in treatment
areas than from a similarly positioned line in control areas. Fifteen paired
t-tests (5 habitats in 3 yr), in which territorial mapping data were used,
revealed that community densities were lower in 1 treatment habitat (high
shrub) in 1 of 3 yr (P lt 0.05). A 2-way analysis of variance with transect
counts was not confirmatory when yearly variation was included. Transect counts
revealed lower population densities in 1 treatment habitat (low shrub) in 2 of
3 yr (P lt 0.05). Greater species richness (P lt 0.05) was observed in 2
treatment habitats (closed spruce and sedge fen) than in controls. Treatment
habitats were most similar in habitat structure to their paired control
habitats, but each habitat of the pair was significantly different (P lt 0.05)
from the other in at least 2 of 10 habitat characteristics analyzed. It is
suggested that avian differences observed between paired areas were primarily
attributable to the inherent habitat differences between control and treatment
areas and the new habitat created under the transmission line. Data indicated
negligible effects of this transmission line on bird populations, but
interpretations are difficult, because the effects varied with habitat, season
and method considered. Postimpact studies, which compare control and treatment
areas, are less effective than before-and-after studies, because differences in
habitat structure exist between any 2 areas.

mid-nineteenth-century Canada and Red River. Unpublished doctoral
dissertation, University of Toronto (Canada).
Abstract: From the upsurge of temperance revivals in 1841 to the narrow defeat
of a prohibition bill in the Province of Canada in 1855, the records suggest
that at least five hundred thousand people took the total abstinence pledge.
Campaigns in the less populous western colony of Red River added perhaps
another thousand to the number. Their motives ranged from such mundane
considerations as labour efficiency to a conviction that the millenium was at
hand. The latter notion influenced devout members of the Montreal business
community and their wives. Through the agency of the Montreal Temperance
Society they undertook in 1841 to send out agents to every English-speaking
community in the Province. Montreal's missionaries enjoyed particular success
in Canada West, where the rural population was outgrowing 'frontier' drinking
patterns. In Toronto and other towns, the increasing influence of evangelicals,
growing social problems, and restlessness for progress all helped win recruits.
Meanwhile, temperance took different courses in two other British North
American communities. Among the French-speaking peoples of Canada East, Father
Charles Chiniquy linked temperance to progress and canadien patriotism. He
thereby induced over half the population to take the teetotal pledge--helping,
in the process, to confirm the social leadership of the clergy. In Red River,
restraint by the Hudson's Bay Company and temperance preaching by missionaries
led to a more sober society in the three decades following the union of rival
fur trade companies in 1821. But enthusiasm was less marked than in Canada. It
clashed with the drive for free trade (of which liquor was a major commodity)
which was integral to metis nationalism. Red River's drinking practices can
also be seen partly in the context of a traditional society resisting attempts
at modernization; while political upheaval and the lack of effective law
enforcement also play a part. Back in Canada, temperance continued to flourish
among many progressive farmers, ambitious artisans, ardent nationalists and in
the growing ranks of middle class women. At their fore were a French Catholic
clergy, rapidly growing in influence; and the rising entrepreneurs of Toronto
and Montreal. Such forces assured the movement's prominence in the
mid-nineteenth century and days ahead.

Abstract: The Sault Ste. Marie Chippewas, a Michigan tribe rich from casino
revenues, know something about spreading their bets around the table. After
G.O.P. Governor John Engler trumped their plans to build a casino in downtown
Detroit, they gave $100,000 to the national Democratic Party in early '96. That
helped win the attention of then deputy White House chief of staff Harold
Ickes, whom they pressed to get the Interior Department to back their casino
proposal. Actually, the tribe gave the President's party almost four times that
much. But to avoid further angering Engler, who was already furious about their
support for Michigan Democrats in 1994, they routed most of it to state
Democratic parties across the country, where Engler would be unlikely to see
it. At the same time, they made an $80,000 donation to Engler's Michigan G.O.P.--and
none to their home-state Democratic Party. Though Interior nixed their casino
bid, the department is still weighing their request to add hundreds of tax-free
acres to their sovereign territory. Tribal spokesman John Hatch said the money
wasn't intended to influence policy: "We're proud that we're able to help
those who help us."

Abstract: A rapid PCR-based assay was used to study the distribution of 5
polymorphic Alu insertions in 895 unrelated individuals from 30 populations, 24
from North, Central, and South America. Although a significant level of
interpopulation variability was detected, the variability was less than that
observed in a worldwide population survey. This is consistent with the
bottleneck effect and genetic drift forces that may have acted on the migrating
founder groups. The results corroborate the Asian origin of native American
populations but do not support the multiple-wave migration hypothesis
supposedly responsible for the tripartite Eskaleut, Nadene, and Amerind
linguistic groups. Instead, these populations exhibit three major identifiable
clusters reflecting geographic distribution. Close similarity between the
Chinese and native Americans suggests recent gene flow from Asia.

Abstract: AIM: To examine the characteristics of marijuana users among a large
sample of American Indian high school students. DESIGN: High school survey.
SETTING: Seven predominantly American Indian high schools in four communities
west of the Mississippi. PARTICIPANTS: 1464 Indian adolescents who: (1)
completed a survey in November, 1993, (2) were in grades 9 to 12, (3) were
members of one of four Indian tribal groups; and (4) had a complete set of data
for these analyses. MEASUREMENTS: Logistic regression models were developed to
predict the probability of low-frequency (1-3 times over the last month) and
high-frequency (11 or more times) marijuana use. Independent variables included
measures of socio-demographics, stressful life events, personal characteristics
and beliefs, psychiatric symptomatology and other substance use. FINDINGS:
Forty per cent of these American Indian adolescents had used marijuana at least
once in the last month. The prevalence of marijuana use varied across the four
tribes. Males were no more likely than females to use marijuana at a low
frequency, but were more likely to use at a high frequency. The factors
associated with marijuana use varied with the frequency of use and by gender.
In the final multivariate models, low-frequency marijuana use among females was
associated with reporting that peers encouraged alcohol use as well as use of
alcohol and stimulants. Among males, low-frequency use was associated with
greater positive alcohol expectancies, lower grades in school and alcohol use.
While high-frequency marijuana use was associated with use of alcohol,
stimulants and cocaine among females, such use was associated with higher
scores on the antisocial behavior scale as well as the use of alcohol,
stimulants and cocaine among males. Overall, the strongest associations were
with the use of alcohol and other illicit substances. CONCLUSION: Low-frequency
and high-frequency marijuana use are distinct patterns of use and have
different correlates across genders. Marijuana use among American Indian
adolescents is a complex phenomenon that is best understood within the context
of other substance use. (Abstract by:

S. S. (1992). La representation de l'Indien dans le theatre Quebecois du XXe
siecle (French text). Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Queen's University
at Kingston (Canada).
Abstract: It is the purpose of this study to examine the representation of the
Indian in twentieth century Quebecois theatre. The following works are
analysed: la Dalle-des-morts by F.-A. Savard, Les Grands Soleils by J. Ferron,
Bois Brules de J.-L. Roux, On n'est pas sorti du bois de D. de Pasquale, Un si
bel automne de F. Loranger et Il n'y a plus d'Indiens de B. Assiniwi. As is the
case in other areas of literature, the presence of a symbolic, simplified
prototype of the Indian prevails. However, there is a twist: in Quebecois
theatre the Indian (or the Metis) is most often invested with the
characteristics of a political rebel who, disarticulated from his own society,
appears as the 'emblem' of Quebecois revolt. Moreover, the Indian is invariably
stalked by death, if he has not already been claimed by it. He undergoes a
symbolic death in view of the new life and yet, ironically, the benefits of
this sacrifice are reaped by others. Thus the Indian appears as a sacrificial
figure, as both scapegoat and pharmakos, the focal point within the violent
mechanism that Rene Girard identifies as the foundation of all myth.
Furthermore, as object of mythification in the Barthesian sense, the Indian is
put to death by language itself. Consequently, the forms of sacrifice and
tragedy can be seen as having disquieting similarities.

Abstract: Objective. To determine the HLA associations of seropositive
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a Cree and Ojibway population; to determine
whether specific alleles distinguish juvenile or adult onset. Methods. HLA-A,
B, C, and DRB1 alleles were analyzed in 23 Ojibway and Cree patients with RA
seen in a single tertiary care center. Comparisons were made with published
results of controls and with results of 18 patients with rheumatoid factor (RF)
positive polyarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) from the same
population. Results. Comparisons among patients with RA, patients with RF
positive polyarticular JRA, and controls showed increased frequencies of the RA
shared epitope in patients with RA and of DRB1*0901 in patients with
seropositive polyarticular JRA, while the frequency of DRB1*08 alleles was decreased
in patients with RF positive polyarticular JRA. Conclusion. In this population,
DRB1*0901 may promote while DRB1*08 alleles may protect against a juvenile
onset of RA specifically. In contrast, the RA shared epitope may have a greater
effect on the risk of adult onset seropositive RA. Due to the small patient
numbers, these results require confirmation.

Abstract: This study was performed to review reports of the descriptive epidemiology
of chronic arthritis in childhood and to analyze the factors that may explain
differences in its reported frequency. Articles were retrieved by searching
MEDLINE and EMBASE under the following index terms: juvenile rheumatoid
arthritis (JRA), juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA), spondyloarthropathy,
epidemiology, prevalence, and incidence. For reports published between 1977 to
1982, the Index Medicus was used. All original articles that provided
prevalence or incidence rates, population size, or number of cases, were
reviewed and entered into the analysis. Variables analyzed were disease
prevalence and incidence. Modifier variables investigated were diagnostic
criteria, source population, geographic origin of the report (Europe or North
America), duration of the study, and race of the population studied. Diagnostic
criteria had no effect on reported prevalence or incidence rates. Prevalence
per 100,000 at risk obtained from population studies (132, 95% Cl:119, 145) was
significantly higher than values derived from practitioner- (26, 95% Cl:23, 29)
or clinic-based studies (12, 95% Cl:10, 15) (P=.02). North American
clinic-based studies had higher prevalence values compared with European
reports (32, 95% Cl:26, 38 versus 8, 95% Cl:5, 11, P=.009). None of the factors
analyzed accounted for the variability in reported incidence rates. An effect
of race was detected only in the distribution of patients among onset subsets.
Thus, the percentage of patients with pauciarticular JRA was highest in series
of North American and European caucasian patients (58, 95% Cl:56, 60) compared
with series of East Indian (25, 95% Cl:20, 31), native North American Indian
(26, 95% Cl:15, 37), or other races (31, 95% Cl:28, 35) (P=.001). In contrast,
the percentage of patients with polyarticular JRA was lowest in the former (27,
95% Cl:25, 28) compared with the other racial groups (East Indian, 61, 95%
Cl:55, 66; native North American Indian, 64,95% Cl:53, 76; other races, 34, 95%
Cl:30, 38) (P=.004). Although an effect of source population on reported
prevalence was confirmed, the effect of geographic origin suggests that
environmenttar or ethnic differences also may influence the prevalence of
chronic arthritis in children. Differences in the percentages of patients with
pauciarticular and polyarticular JRA may reflect racial differences in the
prevalence of these conditions. Copyright (C) 1996 by W.B. Saunders Company.

Abstract: Transcript of Press Conference with Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Ross Swimmer, July 12, 1988, Minneapolis, MN
Swimmer: So, with that, I presume, the press is around the table, and
I’m willing to answer, or try to answer, any questions that you might have, and
if you don’t have any, I’m sure I’ll find something else to say.
Goldenberg: Steven Goldenberg, with First Person Radio, Migizi
Communications. Mr. Secretary, it seems kind of a contradiction here, to teach
people to be better managers for the B.I.A., in view of your main idea that the
B.I.A. should eventually go out of business.
Is that a good career track for these people, then, if all that ...
Swimmer: That’s what I was trying to get across to them earlier. Yes, I think that it does work well, and
works to their benefit, especially what I am saying is, if we plan today ... or
let’s say, let’s go back—if we planned n 1975 self-determination was a policy,
and enacted into law, for what was going to happen fifteen years from then, for
what was going to happen fifteen years from then, I think that everyone at that
time would had said that the object is for tribes to take over the functions of
the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and that’s what began to happen. We contracted out for a lot of the
programs. What didn’t get said then,
was “what will be the role of the Bureau be, then at the end of fifteen
years? And as a consequence of that,
even though the policy of self-determination was announced, and law was passed,
we had a lot of resistance in the field.
There were a lot of people of the B.I.A., out at the agency, who said,
“hey, they may think that way in Washington, but don’t you come over here. Mr.
Tribe, and try to take my program, because that’s my job. And so, you have that built-in resistance
there, because really what did happen was, if the Superintendent was successful
in contracting out his program, he lost his job. That was never accounted for, and it was almost like, well we put
this into effect, but we really don’t mean it.
What I’m suggesting is that a policy of self-determination, if we carry
it forward now, has to have some goal, some probability of success n the
future, and that would be that, if we set apart, say in 1995 or in the year
2,000 ... maybe that’s a good year to pick, the turn of the Century, the Bureau
of Indian Affairs budget, as it is today, would be approximately a hundred
million dollars instead of a billion dollars, whatever they might be. Well, let’s say ten percent, and what we’re
going to do with that ten percent, is we’re going to be an administrative
agency that will be the contact for Indian tribes in Washington, is we’re going
to ferry programs and laws to the hill, and we’re years? And as a consequence of that, even though
the policy of self-determination was announced, and law was passed, we had a
lot of resistance in the field. There
were a lot of people of the B.I.A., out at the agency, who said, “hey, they may
think that way in Washington, but don’t you come over here. Mr. Tribe, and try
to take my program, because that’s my job.
And so, you have that built-in resistance there, because really what did
happen was, if the Superintendent was successful in contracting out his
program, he lost his job. That was
never accounted for, and it was almost like, well we put this into effect, but
we really don’t mean it. What I’m
suggesting is that a policy of self-determination, if we carry it forward now,
has to have some goal, some probability of success n the future, and that would
be that, if we set apart, say in 1995 or in the year 2,000 ... maybe that’s a
good year to pick, the turn of the Century, the Bureau of Indian Affairs
budget, as it is today, would be approximately a hundred million dollars
instead of a billion dollars, whatever they might be. Well, let’s say ten percent, and what we’re going to do with that
ten percent, is we’re going to be an administrative agency that will be the
contact for Indian tribes in Washington, is we’re going to ferry programs and
laws to the hill, and we’re going to provide some technical assistance to
tribes, but the basic role of the Bureau has really been transferred over to
the tribes; tribes have been managing their trusteeship; tribes will be
managing this and managing that. But,
if we don’t say that, what worries me then is that we’ll never get there. If we don’t make that statement, and what
I’m saying to these managers is that we need competent people to carry this into
that next phase of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Cook: Yeah, I’m Don Cook of the Ojibwe News, and I have a
question on ... as far as your management of millions of dollars going into
tribes—what is your policy as far as accountability to the people that the
tribes are representing? We constantly
hear self-determination, and the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians,
self-determination means eleven people.
The rest of the people—we haven’t seen our tribal government since
1979. We go to a council meeting in Red
Lake; we are arrested by the Bureau of Indian Affairs police. We go to our election; every polling place
on the reservation is supervised by the Bureau of Indian Affairs police. You know, where is the people? Where is the self-determination?
Swimmer: Well, I’m not going to get into local tribal politics any more
than I absolutely have to, but that’s ...
Cook: Well, I’d like to ask you a question about it, though.
Swimmer: Well, let me answer the question as best I can. The federal government, and Congress in
particular, decided that this course was what was right, they said that, in
effect, tribal government is it. They
said, we’re going to accept tribal government, and in fact in may cases
Congress is the one that mandated that we will have Tribal Government, because
they needed someone on the Reservation, to distribute these dollars. They claimed at that time, that the state
and federal governments weren’t doing it; that the money wasn’t getting to the
people. So, the way to do it, would be
for the people to organize a tribal government. And then, we’ll use those tribal governments as conduits, so that
the money, and the programs, can get to the people. Look, we’re going to have Tribal Government. That implies then, that there’s going to be
some representation by that tribal government of the people. There is no doubt, in my mind, that has not
happened in all cases. I have seen
many, many cases... I’m not citing any in particular, but I’ve seen many cases,
where the tribal government is not really very representative of the
people. I have also seen cases the
local and state government is not very representative of the people. They don’t feel like the State government
listens to them, sometimes either. But,
I can tell you, that I don’t condone it.
I believe that tribes, if they are going to participate in this process,
also must have a free and open election, and they must have a process by which
the people participate in the tribal government, and participate in the
election of those, or the selection of those leaders, however they might do it.
Cook: What is the responsibility that the Bureau of Indian Affairs has
for the Constitution of the Tribe? Fore
example, our Constitution says that our Tribal Chairman shall live on the
Reservation one year prior to running for election. Our tribal chairman hasn’t been living on the reservation for the
last nine years.
Swimmer: Well, I don’t consider that our responsibility, or that of the
B.I.A., to ...
Cook: You’re part of the Constitution.
Our constitution would be ...
think it’s a contract, our constitution is a contract between the
federal government and the Tribe. And,
before it’s recognized, the Secretary has to approve the Constitution. Now, in Red Lake in particular, we’re ...
the people are left totally out in left field, our representatives ... they
don’t know what’s coming up at the meeting until they’re asked to vote, and
its’ that way all across the country ... and in the votes ... the Government is
hand-picking their leaders.
Swimmer: What I had hoped to do is, that is this morning at least, is to
talk to the press generally about issues that they might have. You’re making statements, and I can’t
respond to those, because I don’t have the other side here. And I know that there are other people on
that reservation, that believe that they do have certain rights. I do know that Red Lake has elections. Now, I don’t look at as the Bureau of Indian
Affairs’ responsibility to get involved in the elections, any more than we
absolutely have to. I don’t look at it
as proper that we should be in your constitution. I believe that people of that reservation should call the shots,
and that the people of that reservation should decide what kind of leadership
they want, and that they should set up a mechanism to do that. And, it’s hard for me to believe that
everybody on the reservation is co-opted
by one or to or eleven people, and that no one else out there has
any rights, or abilities to make any changes.
Now if, I said that it’s hard for me to believe, I’m not saying that
it’s not. And, I’m not saying that it’s
not a way to remedy that, but I do believe that it is a local issue, and that
it has got to be resolved. Now, I’m
wiling to talk to you-all about a specific issue, but I think that we’re
getting off the course as far as what we would like to try to do today, and
answer questions a little bit more broader.
But, if you want to go ahead and make your statements, I’ll be happy to
listen ...
Blake: Mr. Swimmer, I’m Francis Blake, with the Ojibwe News, and
what you’re talking about is the press that you’ve dealt with is the corporate
press. We are not the corporate
press. We are printing the truth. And, these are the questions that we are
asking you.
Swimmer: Well, I want you to print the truth. I’m not ...
Blake: We’re not the corporate press.
Swimmer: I mean, if you’re making statements, and you’re not asking
questions ... If you want to ask a
question, I’ll be more than happy to answer it.
Gordy: I’ve got a question. I’m
with the Circle newspaper. My
name is Gordon ... You referred earlier to the possibility of the B.I.A.
phasing out over time, in the period 1995 to the year 2,000. The possibility, is that then the program
that’s being instituted, where the funds are going to the timber of ten
tribes. Is that part of that long-term
phase-out—is this the trial run?
Swimmer: It won’t be a ... the so-called ten tribes was a ... it could
be considered sort-of a first start at that.
What I was trying to do, was look at the federal resources, and instead
of the federal government planning how the dollars get spent in Indian country,
I wanted to reverse the process, so that we could start the planning from the
ground up, so that the tribes ... let’s say, that Tribe A last year received five
million dollars of federal B.I.A. funds for a whole list of different programs
that Congress authorized. They have to
spend that money for those particular programs. They might not even want those programs, but if they don’t
operate those programs, they won’t get the money. What I said to Congress was, why don’t we tell Tribe A, there’s
five million dollars of federal dollars available. Now, you tell us how you’re going to spend it. You’ve told us that you have high
unemployment, you’ve told us about the alcoholism, you’ve told us about poor
health, and all this .. how are you going to deal with those problems with this
five million dollars? And you develop
the program that you want... We then will incorporate it into the B.I.A.
budget, this being your budget, in effect, is in addendum to ours, send it to
the hill, let them appropriate the money, and your tribe then will be held
accountable for whether you were successful.
The way it is now, is that because we operate in this programmatic mode,
tribes almost have to fail, n order to get re-funded the next year. If they don’t show the same need that they
had this year, then those programs that they’re operating that we send to them,
they don’t need to be there, and so the money will go somewhere else. What I was trying to do was sort of
guarantee this level of funding to a tribe, and say, “we’re going to give you
credit for being successful... So, as you begin solving problems, it wouldn’t
mean that you begin losing money.”
Because, as we know, there will be plenty of other things that you can
continue doing. Almost revenue-share
concept. So, those ten tribes ... what
happened was, those ten tribes were at the hearing last December, and
congressman Yates suggested that because they were there and had heard, and
said, “well, now maybe that might be an idea,” why don’t you ten tribes try to
get with Swimmer and develop some tribal specific programming like that, and
we’ll give you a million dollars a plan.
That’s how those ten tribes... but there are several other tribes,
besides those ten, that are interested in it.
Lussier: Uh, Mr. Swimmer, I’m going to stop you. You know, when I go to a meeting, I like
something to come. You was asked a
question. Who’s responsible for the Constitution
that you’ve made, I think the question was.
Did you answer it? And, I’m
going to ask you this: I was on the Chief’s council, and the B.I.A. said that,
“you don’t have no Council.” So, they
took it away from us, just like that.
The B.I.A. ... and I told the B.I.A. at that time, “you’re going to be
sued for this some day.” My name is
Adolf Lussier, and I’m enrolled on the Red Lake Indian Reservation, and I
served on the Council for eight years, so I know exactly what the Council is
doing, and I want to thank you, if I said anything hurt your feelings, I hope
to Christ it didn’t. Thank you.
Swimmer: As far as who’s responsible for the Constitution, it’s the
Tribe.
Lussier: Eh! YOU are!
Swimmer: No.
Lussier: I helped make the Constitution, and you sent the Secretary of
the Interior, signed it, that’s why it’s got him in power.
Swimmer: But, it’s not our constitution, it’s your constitution.
Lussier: OK, you signed it.
Swimmer: ... and you can change that Constitution any time you want...
General comments... Talk about a joke .. it don’t work that way.
Other: Question, Red Lake is one of them ten Tribes, right, and would
they be held financially accountable for them programs that are instituted?
Swimmer: There are certain ... yes, they would be, if they, if they ...
develop a program, but there are also certain requirements, that any of the
tribes, before can have this in an actual funding program, that they have to
have an accounting, that they have to be able to provide for the Bureau a
financial accounting, that has a clean audit opinion, that says that they can
track all of their programs, because we won’t do it with any of the tribes that
don’t have accountability ...
Cook: Right. Can we get a copy
of the policy that Mr. Barlow has that we have to get permission from our
Tribal Chairman to talk to him.
Swimmer: I don’t think that he has ...
Cook: Oh, yes he does! Mr.
Barlow, tell the truth, now.
Other: Tell the truth!
Cook: We went to your office, and you had to call Roger for me to talk
to you, right?
Other: Yeah!
Other: I was witness at that Press Conference. Don’t try to get out of it, because I ...
Swimmer: Virtually every tribe, to some extent or other, is going to
have an inside and an outside, and those sides often change. Maybe not as often up in Red Lake as some
other tribes. Mr. Barlow and myself are
pretty much committed to dealing with elected Tribal leadership, and that’s a
policy for my office as well as for him.
Now, I have not refused to meet with any Indian people, but I do refuse
to meet with people if it involves tribal leadership, that they really are in
charge of. I will listen, but I cannot
make the changes in your constitution...
Other: Don’t make me blush, now...
Swimmer: I cannot make changes in your constitution, I cannot un-elect
your tribal leadership, folks, I’ve been there, I’ve been a tribal leader, and
every single election was contested ...
Lussier: Yes! Where was you a
tribal leader—Red Lake? I am bothering
you now, while you are talking. Were
you a tribal leader at Red Lake?
Swimmer: No, sir. I was tribal
leader at ...
Lussier: I’m sorry. Red Lake and
where you were, is probably like Heaven and Earth. I don’t ... but I know Red Lake is what these guys are trying to
tell you, and that is what we ant you to answer. Not—what the heck! You
got the taxpayer’s money and come out here and give us a bunch of baloney! The first thing that you didn’t say was—638
Money? You don’t have any control over
that. That’s the only program I ever
heard of in my life, that the Tribe is the one that gets the money from
you. You don’t have a damn thing to say
... a DAMN thing to say—that’s the law!
1975 or ’77, whenever it was made, but that’s the way it is, the Tribe
asks for it. You don’t have any control
over whether they can get it or not. Is
that right?
Swimmer: We do have some control, but generally we don’t ...
Lussier: You don’t have any control over it
Swimmer: We have control of the program, they have to operate it in a
certain way ... and we have control of the accountability of it.
Lussier: Well what do you do, then with it? That’s the point!
Swimmer: It’s what the Tribe does with it. Once the Tribe contracts...
Lussier: The Government gives you the money, contract money, you get it.
Contract money, the B.I.A., don’t they?
Swimmer: And then we turn it over to the Tribe.
Lussier: To the Tribe! And,
you’re supposed to see that they spend it in the way they’re supposed to. Is that right?
Swimmer: We have a process that we go through, to see that ...
Lussier: Sure, you have a process.
What’s the process? We don’t
know they do, is what we’re trying to tell you. Thank you, to God, I’m talking too damn much now!
Swimmer: The answer is that the Government ...
Lussier: I’m too damn weak for that ...
Swimmer: The answer is that throughout the Government office ... Yes,
ma’am.
Star & Tribune: You talk about slowly phasing out the B.I.A.—has
that process been started? When are we
talking about that happening?
Swimmer: We’re not, because it requires not only my talking about it,
there requires action by Congress and of course by the Tribes. Congress has not, the process that they have
done is proposed, is the direct funding concept that we talked about earlier,
would be one of the mechanisms for .. authority at the Tribal level to set
Tribal budgets and again the process for self-determination.
Star & Tribune: When do you see this, that it might start? When do you think that it will begin?
Swimmer: Well, I had hoped that we would see some progress on it this
year, and that we could see something in enabling legislation this year, as
part of the 638 amendments that Congress is proposing, there was a section
included in there for the Tribal direct funding concept,, but it’s been very
controversial on the Hill. There are
many people on the Hill that simply don’t believe the Tribe is capable, and
they’re not going to give them freedom .. uh, any more freedom than what they
have now. So, some of the Indian
committees think that the Tribes just can’t do it, and that the B.I.A. is going
to have to be there, to oversee and manage what goes non out here. I contend that until we back away from that
position some, that we won’t be able to see ... Tribes almost aren’t allowed to
fail when they get in trouble, immediately is—hear, hear! the B.I.A. is called
to account. We’re the ones that are
held responsible, even though the people on that reservation are the ones who
are responsible for their Tribal Government, and they’re the ones that have to
make those decisions.
Star & Tribune: Are you pessimistic that you don’t expect this bill
to pass this year?
Swimmer: Well, I’m a little pessimistic about it, on the other hand,
they did—the appropriations committee put another million dollars in to
continue the plan. So, I’m ... at one
time, they’re planning, but they’re not giving the Tribes any authority to do
anything, except on the planning, and I find that a little difficult for
Congress to speak out of both sides of its mouth. They’re willing to give Tribes money, but they’re not willing to
give them the authority, and the authorizing legislation is what we need to
give tribes the authority to submit those budgets, and to do a
Tribally-designed budget with Federal dollars.
But, what I’m saying is, I’m optimistic that they’ll reconcile those to,
and there’s one or the other will happen, that they will give them money, or
they’ll give us authorizing language to allow that to happen.
Star & Tribune: Your views are not ... based on what I’ve read, they
are not necessarily popular with the B.I.A. officials, nor the
reservations. Why do this? Do you have backing on the reservations in
this matter?
Swimmer: I have some, but I guess I will say that I don’t have
widespread backing by Tribes at this time.
I think that they can try to join this initiative if they are interested
in this. They haven’t committed
themselves either. I think that has
been delayed a little because of the money.
I did have a Tribe that was very interested in taking over the
management of some of its Trust assets, which I think is an enormous ...
Star & Tribune: Which one is that?
Swimmer: This is a Tribe in the state of Oregon that had a forestry
program, and the Tribe wanted to manage its own forestry. It would be a process where the forest would
be left in trust with the government, but they would manage it. This is a step, again, n that direction that
I have advocated, where we remain trustees, but we turn over more management
authority to tribes, so that on timber and water and fish and what have you,
that they take over more of the responsibilities for managing. But, if they do that, they have to hold us
harmless. In other words, if you give
them the right to manage their forest, and they go out and clear-cut it, they
can’t come back to us and say, “well, you let us do it, so now you’ve got to
pay us for the value of our forest. In
this case, the Tribe had a really ... an interesting concept, because we manage
as a trustee for the median. We can’t
manage the peaks and valleys. What they
were proposing, was by taking over their timber management, and cutting the
same amount of timber over five years that we would have cut, but doing it in
different cycles, and investing the money, that by the end of thirty years,
they would have something like thirty million dollars in the bank, and
following our pattern of managing, they would have nothing in the bank, so it
is interesting that because they could individualize the management of their
forests, the could do so much better.
Again, they went to the Hill, and proposed it, and Congress said,
“no.” They said, “well, we’re not ready
to entertain that idea. We want the
B.I.A. to continue being your Trustee, and managing this asset.”
Star & Tribune: Is this ... recently we’ve also had quite a few
stories on the Congressional investigation of B.I.A., where is that now?
Swimmer: It’s in process. I
expect it to be a very long process.
I’m not sure that they’ve even focussed yet on what they’re going to
investigate. I think that they have pretty
well discounted most of what you read in the Arizona Republic and all, because
those were highlights of investigations that had already been done by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs. There wasn’t
a lot of new information there, and it covered a span of about fifteen or
twenty years. What they’re really
looking for ... what they first started out with, was of course the headline
that five million dollars had not been paid by royalty, or something. That’s not true, and they found that in a
hurry, that was not a valid assertion.
But there are some difficulties, we know, in oil and gas, there are some
in some of the other areas of management, and I suspect that ... what I would
hope for is that they do a thorough job, a review and investigation, and that at
the end of it, that they come up with some recommendations that make sense, and
talk about the real issues: the way that we do business, and the way the tribe
does business, and how we relate to one another, and how the economy is, and
some recommendations about that.
Because we ... I don’t think that they’re going to find a lot of fraud
and use ...
Other: Mr. Barlow, this gentleman has had his hand up for a long time
...
Bassett: Mr. Swimmer, I’m Mike Bassett of the Circle. In light of
your statement that Tribes bear responsibility for their Tribal government, and
constitution, and your statement that the B.I.A. interference should be at a
minimum, particularly with the government, and of course in the constitution,
could you please explain what authority and what policies are in place when the
B.I.A. orders the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe not to enforce the Indian Child
Welfare Act if it’s under the Constitution, then they have responsibility for
it. They don’t have the power to have a
judicial hearing.
Swimmer: I don’t know. That’s a
good question, and it’s too broad. You
have to break it down into parts. As
far as the Indian Civil Rights Act, it provides that, in this instance, that
the Tribe be notified in any case that there is a child that’s a member of the
tribe ... now, in some cases, that’s where it stops. And, the tribe as a right to intervene, in the State court
proceedings. Out of state, the Tribe
can send a representative, if they’d like to intervene the can
(inaudible). I’m not aware that it
carries with it a tribal court activity.
Now, if you’re saying, now that we had a tribal court; and we said that
you can’t [have] child welfare cases in your tribal court, we’re getting into
an area that I’m not familiar with, but I’d be happy to talk about your
individual, or that individual situation, b ut I don’t know enough about it.
Bassett: But, if the B.I.A. does not have the ... if the Tribe has full
responsibility for its Constitution, how could the B.I.A. be telling the
Government that they don’t have a judicial system that can handle Indian Child
Welfare cases?
Swimmer: They can’t.
Bassett: They can’t tell them
that ...
Swimmer: Unless the Tribe doesn’t have the authority ...
Bassett: But if you ...
Swimmer: If you put something in your constitution, that you have no
authority to do, the Tribe is bound by Federal statutes, and not all tribes
have the same level of sovereignty.
Some tribes have law enforcement powers; some tribes don’t have law
enforcement powers. Some have ability
to have tribal courts; some don’t. Some
are located in states where it’s been usurped, and some...
Bassett: Do the same restrictions apply to elections, and protection of
civil rights for Indians who believe their civil rights are being denied, that
their votes aren’t being counted?
Swimmer: Generally speaking, the issue of uh, tribal elections and in
inter-tribal ... in-tribal matters, are left .. should be left to that Tribal
government, and the people on that reservation.
Bassett: So, the B.I.A. has no responsibility for enforcing the Indian
Civil Rights Act?
Swimmer: No, we do not.
Bassett: And the B.I.A. has no measures to investigate what you said you
could believe was the ... unfair elections?
Swimmer: Generally speaking,
no. WE do not get into elections. We, uh... sometimes we are asked by a Tribe
to monitor an election, and when we do that, we are observers. We write, and we observe, and we give it to
the election board or whoever is in charge of the election. We don’t have any ... we shouldn’t have, and
as far as I know we don’t exercise any authority to go in and manipulate or
tell someone they can or can’t vote, or shut down the precinct, or do anything
like that. When we what appears to be
someone that is voting that shouldn’t be voting, we note it. That is what we should do, and then we go to
the election board. We’d prefer, and
I’d prefer, that we not get involved in elections at all.
Bassett: Well this makes a lot of bureaucratic sense, to the
people. Can’t you see a sense of
unfairness in the Tribe ... the B.I.A. has the power to come in and say, you
don’t have a judicial system, but they also claim that they don’t have the
power to come in ... say, “we don’t have the right to monitor you and make sure
that you’re having fair elections” ...
Swimmer: [pause] I don’t see the conflict. The Tribe does have a system; maybe it doesn’t work, maybe that’s
what you’re saying. But, Tribes do have
systems, for conducting elections, and Tribes do have a procedure for appeals
in those elections. And, those are what
have to be followed. And, once they’re
exhausted, that’s it.
Bassett: But the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe has no provision for poll
observers, tabulation processes continue to be closed, and the board which the
grievances go to is composed of the Tribal Government, which has been in power
for over a decade. Is that a process
that the is no need to monitor the elections.
Swimmer: It is, under the present circumstances. I’m not saying that I condone it. I’m saying that that’s the way we operate today. We don’t have any other authority. Elections, and the enforcement of the Indian
Civil Rights Act, are left up to the judicial processes of the Tribes, whatever
they might have.
Bassett: You seem to be ...
Swimmer: And, elections are internal to the Tribe, and the election
disputes are handled by the election board.
If they appoint the ... if the Chairman appoints the Board, and they’re
his people, tat’s where the disputes get handled.
Bassett: You were willing to go out on a limb, and call for a new policy
that would require 90% reduction over twelve years in the B.I.A., what are
policies that say that you have ... for these election processes that you don’t
condone?
Swimmer: Well, what I call for, and I’m supporting, is what the Justice
Department is proposing, now. And, that
is a bill to, what we say, strengthen the Indian Civil Rights Act. And, in Title II in the Civil Rights Act,
that is, that there are two provisions that are being proposed; one is that the
plea of Sovereign Immunity would not be available to Tribal Government; and the
second would be that if there is not a Tribal Forum either capable or wiling to
hear civil rights cases, due process, equal protection type cases, these would
go to Federal Court.
Cook: Would you be in favor of abolishing the Indian Reorganization Act?
Swimmer: Uh, well I don’t really
have an opinion about that. I don’t see
that it would really accomplish much.
Cook: Well, in Red Lake we used to have an honest, open government,
prior to 1958, when the Indian Reorganization Act was put in fraudulently ...
[end of tape 1—couple of sentences missing] ... and the next thing you know,
they have got three people: Robinson, and two other guys, coming to the
Reservation, and telling the Chiefs, “you don’t have no government.” And, ever since then, we haven’t had a
government. All across the State of
Minnesota, all we have had is a bunch of dictators. We have no government of the people.
Bassett: Mr. Swimmer, in protection of sovereignty, isn’t there actions
short of the Justice Department’s proposal to require that tribal governments
give up their sovereign immunity. To be
able to publicize, and perhaps just merely observe, and investigate
inadequacies in the election process that you do not condone?
Swimmer: No, once you get into elections, you’re getting into the very
essence of sovereignty. There is
nothing that I would condone as far as the B.I.A. meddling in Tribal elections?
Bassett: Well, is there anything short of meddling? Can’t you just observe and publicize ...
can’t you ...
Swimmer: Exactly! And that’s
just what we’ve been doing. We can
provide the information to the Tribal election board, or to the Council. But, to ... we’re not in a position of
calling elections bad, because of something that we observe. That has to be up to the governing
body of that organization.
Bassett: You call elections all over the world bad.
Other: Mr. Swimmer!
Swimmer: We do, we go in and overturn a governor’s election in a state,
we go overturn a mayor’s election, because ...
Bassett: I didn’t say anything about overturn—we’re talking about
observing, and watching, and publicizing...
Swimmer: I have suggested that we can do that.
Other: Mr. Swimmer!
Bassett: ... such about tribal elections.
Swimmer: I’m not aware of, uh, that issue, at this point. I don’t know what you’re asking. Did some Tribe just have an election that we
observed?
Bassett: The Minnesota Chippewa Tribe just had an election, the B.I.A.
Refused to observe it. The was an
election process which involved no poll observers, no public access to
tabulation; finding of burned ballots allegedly; an election board that had
already had a previous election overturned, and ...
Swimmer: Was this an election that was conducted under the rules of the
Tribe?
Bassett: It ...
Swimmer: I’m not sure I’d want to observe an election like that.
Bassett: If you do not observe it, and do not publicize it like you said
you were willing to do, then how are our people going to have a chance to
redress this?
Swimmer: Well, I guess that we have a basic disagreement. But I still see people on the Reservation as
being those people who are responsible for their government. If they’re going to have elections that way,
it doesn’t do me any good to go out there and, uh, talk to them about it. They should ... they shouldn’t have
elections that way, and if they want help in developing an election code, or
rules of doing it, we’ll be happy to furnish that assistance.
Bassett: Until the tribal government that ran these elections asks
for your help, you’re not going to make any statement, or observation about
what’s going on in the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe?
Swimmer: Generally speaking, no.
We look at it as an internal tribal matter, that is up to the Tribes to
work out themselves.
Other: Why does the B.I.A. certify these elections, then?
Swimmer: We’re not certifying an election. We accept the result of the election when they turn over the ...
when whoever in charge gives us the knowledge of who gets elected.
Bassett: The B.I.A. officials never swear in officials, or never ask
officials ... never de-recognize the Tribal government as being unfairly
elected or not?
Swimmer: Generally, no.
Other: Mr. Swimmer!
Other: Mr. Swimmer!
Star & Tribune: The Tribal ...
Beaulieu: Mr. Swimmer! May I get
in here? I’ve been ...You know, I’ve
had my hand up for about ten minutes here, so please let me ask this
question. Accountability. Accountability—that I think it he
bottom-line issue in Indian country today.
Our Tribal officials are not accountable to the people. You can go to Tribal officials, try and get
financial records, financial information which is mandated by the Constitution,
yet they refuse to give out that information.
Only under the Freedom of Information Act do we get our material. We have audit after audit that shows that
Red Lake Housing, for instance, Red Lake Housing Finance Corporation, is
composed, the Board of Directors is composed of our eight representatives and
three Tribal officials. Eleven
men. The Credit Committee: four out if
five Credit Committee members are also Tribal Council members. Now, the State of Minnesota gave the Red
Lake Tribe—gave them money for housing.
Now, the Red Lake Tribal officials were paying themselves two hundred
and fifty dollars per diem, per meeting, the Board of Directors. The Credit Committee was getting two
hundred. They would have multiple
meetings per day. You know, two or
three meetings, write another check. We
have documents to prove that. You know,
when we go to the Bureau, what kind of response do we get as you see it?
Swimmer: I would expect us to send you back to the Tribe, and to work
that out with your own Tribal Court, and uh...
Beaulieu: So, basically nothing, is that what you’re saying?
Blake: What we have is colonialism, and Congress is condoning this
colonialism.
Other: I’m going to go! I can’t
stand it! [laughter]
Lussier: The question I had—I’m going to talk about Red Lake, where do
we go if we’re not satisfied. We can’t
go to our court, we can’t go to our Council, they can’t come to me because I
don’t have any power, so where do we go?
You [represent] the Secretary of the Interior, and you still
signed our Constitution. If you signed
it, my friend, is my question.
Swimmer: [silence]
Other: Mr. Swimmer?
Lussier: But, thank you. And I
hope that you answer, I hope that you tell these people because I can’t wait
there ...
Swimmer: [almost inaudible] No.
Manypenny: These people are trying to communicate something to you. There is something amiss here in this government,
you know, managed by Mr. Barlow. When
they take the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe’s Constitution—when they take these
oaths of office, not only to our Constitution, the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe’s
Constitution, but to the United States Constitution. Now, you talk about a Trustee relationship that you have—you’re
the Trustee of our affairs here. Mr.
Barlow, I guess I want to ask you, what did you do about the White Earth Land
Settlement Act? When you let one man,
and he violated, in the Constitution of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, it has a
mandate that those leaders are supposed to protect the land, not let it be
sold, or dealt with in any manner. Now,
one person, Darrell “Chip” Wadena, the President of the Minnesota Chippewa
Tribe, in fact helped this bill through Congress. And, he did it against the resolutions passed by the Minnesota
chippewa Tribe, and the White Earth Reservation Tribal Council. That’s a violation of the Constitution, and
you people are doing nothing about it.
Now, you want to talk about a trust relationship! How do you protect these people here, who
are asking you, as the top person in the United States Government, that
there’s wrong-doing done here, and you guys are ... .it makes no difference to
you. You let it go. Answer that question!
Swimmer: Well, you probably wouldn’t like my answer, because I supported
the White Earth Land Settlement [almost inaudible].
General: Oooh! Now!
Manypenny: Sure! I understand
that. But, what about the people here?
You have no right to do that.
Like, making decisions for me, who has land involved here. You didn’t come and ask me. You asked this man who knows nothing about
it. And, he gave you a consent. What happened to this thing about a Federal
policy, a Federal policy, a mandate, that says the courts will not deal with
these kinds of things, with recognized title.
Isn’t White Earth a recognized title?
You know, that you can’t go without the consent of the people? Why is this vacillating, back and forth
here? You change in the middle of the
stream to accommodate ...
Swimmer: You make it a very simple issue, and it’s not a simple issue as
you well know. It’s a very complex
issue on a land settlement.
Manypenny: Well, what we’re asking about, is we have leadership where
who overstepped their authority and this man is still in office. So, the Constitution of the United States
and the Minnesota ...
Swimmer: Well, you people have a right to take him out of office.
Manypenny: Oh, yeah? ... tell us how.
Tell us how. Because we asked
those officials up there, and nobody tells us nothing, including Mr. Barlow.
Swimmer: Well, you have a process through your tribe to do that, and I
can’t relate that policy.
Manypenny: No, there is isn’t.
There is no process.
Swimmer: There isn’t available to you that you can’t yourself.
Woman: Why didn’t you come and ask the White Earth people, ask us the
White Earth enrollees and the White Earth people about the land ... about the
White Earth land ...
Swimmer: We had many, many comments on that bill, from White Earth
people, and a lot of other people ...
Woman: Why didn’t you hold a public meeting?
Swimmer: Well, the Congress held hearings on it. There were hearings held ...
Woman: Why didn’t you hold a public meeting, is what I’m asking. I’m not asking about Congress, I know that
...
Swimmer: I know that when the bill ...
Cook: With 90% unemployment on every reservation, how can the average
person possibly get to Congressional hearings?
The only ones that can get there is your paid political puppets, that’s
your average government that ...
Woman: Why didn’t you hold a public meeting? I’m from White Earth and I’m still waiting for my answer?
Swimmer: I don’t know how many meetings were held, but I know that there
were discussions held up here, and since that time ...
Woman: IN White Earth, on the Reservation, why didn’t the Department of
the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, hold meetings on the reservation
of White Earth?
Swimmer: I’m not saying that we did or we didn’t, and I’m really not going
to get into the issue. I’m going [to]
say tat the ... to settle an issue that we felt was fair ...
Other: You felt!
Swimmer: That’s right, and as trustees we have that responsibility. And, I have very few types of cases,
especially claims cases, that get settled, or even get finicky, that are
satisfactory to everybody on the reservation.
So, I wouldn’t expect everyone to be satisfied. But, I do believe that there were an awful
lot of people that were satisfied with the legislation that was passed.
[General chorus of dissent.]
Swimmer: Well, ...
Manypenny: For the bar owners, for the store owners, for all the White
people? Oh no! Not the Indian
people. You satisfied the White people,
and the politicians, but you did not satisfy the Indian people.
Swimmer: Well ...
Manypenny: And that’s your job, right?
To protect us—and you have not done it.
As well as Mr. Barlow.
Swimmer: And suppose that we had gone the other way, and we had them
defeat the legislation, and you had lost subsequently in court? Then, you would be out the settlement, the
land, the money, and you would be sitting on the other side of the table,
saying you’re trustee ...
Several people: We’re out
anyway!
Manypenny: We lost anyway!
Swimmer: Well, I don’t think you did, but that’s a matter of opinion.
Woman: Do you think that money can buy everything, buy your soul? You sold your soul.
Manypenny: In the last tribal election, the enrolled members of the
Minnesota Chippewa Tribe voted in a Constitutional convention, in which we were
to bring amendments to the Constitution.
If the B.I.A. then oversees it, then that’s OK, as they did in 1934 when
they put in the Indian Reorganization Act.
Is there any way that you can ensure that this Constitution, this
convention will be represented by Indian people, and I mean all of the people
with all concerns? Or, will then again
be appointed, or chosen by the elected Tribal officials or your own staff?
Swimmer: I don’t know what the process is, the area we’ll use for that.
Other: But, if you’ve got to OK the election, or the Constitution, or
whatever, if it gets changed and all that, wouldn’t you have to ensure that
process, too?
Swimmer: Well, we are ... Fortunately, you’re right. In some cases, we have to approve provisions
of the Constitution. We’d rather not do
that, and the only thing that we look for is if there’s a provision put there
that is strictly illegal. In other
words, something that the Tribe is proposing to do, that Federal law
prohibits. Beyond that, we expect the
Tribe to adopt the Constitution it wants.
We’re not going to mandate that you
put something in there; we’re not going to mandate that you take it
out. We’ll advise you if it’s illegal,
and it’s not going to be enforceable.
We’re moving right now, to send a bill to Congress, that would take us
out of the constitutional process entirely, because it is not our business to
be involved in Tribal Constitutions.
That is, it is the business of the people on the reservation, to adopt the
constitution and the form of government that they want, and I think that there
has been a very paternalistic attitude in the past, both by Congress and by the
administration, since 1934, that we would oversee those kinds of things. And, if we move into greater
self-determination there is nothing in my mind that is more important than an
Indian tribe determining its own government—how it operates and how that
constitution is drafted and how it holds its elections. We started—if we continue to try to play a
role in tat, you don’t have a Tribal government. You have a B.I.A.-managed government, and that’s wrong.
Other: That’s what we have.
Beaulieu: Do you mean that you won’t have to approve any of the changes?
Swimmer: We have limited, uh, review responsibility of the changes, as I
said we’re attempting to get out of those, for any tribe, not just this
one. But, we have to go through the
review under certain laws that we’re obligated now, we have to review
constitutions.
Other: But none of them have to deal with seeing that all sides are
represented at the Convention?
Other: It’s after the fact, but ...
Swimmer: Again, we would recommend that to any tribe that is reviewing
its constitution. I would hope that
they have enough sense to do that. You
know, we expect that if there is going to be a constitutional convention, that
people be notified of the meetings and he hearings, and things like that. We can’t go out to the reservations and
force that. We can not. The thing that ...
Barlow: Ross Swimmer, just a minute!
What we object to, now—the amendment that wa adopted, it was a very
simple amendment up there. What it says
is, “shall the constitution be amended, yes or no.” There is no mention of the process. Now the Tribe has to go back and determine if there has to be a
constitutional convention or what. But
that’s their decision. Just to get back
to White Earth, Ross, I can emphasize with their frustration. When this legislation was proposed, it was
kind of an either-or—either the legislative route to resolve this, or the
judicial, which would have been very expensive. The initial bill that was proposed, the area office did not
support. And, we fed that in, and after
it went through the political process, the decision was made by the
Congress. That’s the way the political
process works, and I’m not saying that it’s good or bad, but it has to come to
a resolution somehow.
Swimmer: We oftentimes get into an either-or situation, and there was
very little choice in this case, because Congress was determined that they were
going to pass this bill. And, we tried
to get some amendments—we did get some.
And, I think that over all, that we did the best we could.
Beaulieu: A comment on ... a question on your Ten Tribes project. Red
Lake basically gets a blank check.
Roger Jourdain gets a blank check from the Federal Government, and from
the State Government.
Swimmer: Oh no, ...
Beaulieu: Yes he does. Yes he
does.
Swimmer: He might get it from the State, but he doesn’t get it from us.
Swimmer: He might get it from the State, but he doesn’t get it from us.
Beaulieu: Yes, he does.
Swimmer: No, he doesn’t.
Beaulieu: Yes, he does. We have
audits, on file, where it shows. Like, in one particular audit, there was
$420,000 in question, $366,000 were
disallowed. $173,878,78 were spent on
per diems, bonus ... You know, and there is no accountability. You contacted Roger, the B.I.A. contacted
Roger Jourdain, Red Lake Tribal Council, saying that this money was mis-spent,
you have to pay it back. So what they
do, is that they drag out the old General Fund checkbook, and write a check.
That’s our money. You know, who is accountable to us, the rank and file Indian.
Swimmer: And, that’s right. If
we go in and audit a disallowed cost, the Tribe has to pay it back.
Beaulieu: But, it comes out of the General Fund. You know, and it’s mandated by law
that it’s not supposed to come out of the General Fund. That overpayment, where they paid themselves
per diem, in that housing situation there, that was done with a tribal
check. I have a copy of the check. You know, I have copies of these
audits. And, it’s very clear that
there is very little trust responsibility occurring in Indian country, from the
top, on down.
Cook: Sir, I have a question.
Where, in your mind, in the next fifteen years, do the Indian people
stand. You gave us a lot of rhetoric
before, on planning on getting out of tribal government—when we’ve been out of
tribal government since 1958. We’ve
been under dictatorship form of government in this so-called democracy, where
they want to manage the world and they can’t even take care of their own
backyard. You don’t have to live under
that situation. We have 90%
unemployment on our reservation. Our
chairman is sitting off the reservation, with our tribal checkbook, living it
up like a king, and the people are going hungry.
Swimmer: How many people voted in the last election?
Cook: In the Red Lake district, I only know that, there’s three hundred
and twenty-three people voted, out of approximately 2,300.
Swimmer: Well.
Cook: What good does it do?
Swimmer: Meaning that if you couldn’t get the other two thousand to
vote, it wouldn’t change?
Other: No. No.
Cook: They’ll just put another thousand votes in the box. You know, the people that run the tribal
elections is generally the tribal staff.
That’s who runs the elections.
For your elected official, we ... we could swear on a stack of Bibles
that our elected officials are hand-picked, paid by the Federal Government to
mis-represent the people of the Red lake Band of Chippewa Indians. And, I’d like to ask another question. Maybe Barlow could answer it. Is Roger Jourdain selling any of our ceded
lands, at this point?
Barlow: Wait a minute.
Cook: Where are getting the thirteen hundred dollars for the payment
that he’s telling everybody that we’re getting, when we’re flat broke?
Swimmer: [silence]
Barlow: [long silence, no comment]
Beaulieu: In the 1986 general election, we got from the printer who
printed the ballots—we have approximately four thousand voters, right—eligible
voters. The tribal council had printed up, 10,550 ballots, ten different
kinds. We couldn’t see the ballots,
they wouldn’t let us see the proofs.
But, we did [see] a copy of the bid sheet. Now, why is the need for so many ballots? Ten thousand, five hundred and fifty ballots
for four thousand voters.
Swimmer: [silence]
Barlow: [silence]
Star & Tribune: Are you meeting with Tribal leaders, on this trip
are you?
Swimmer: Yes.
Star & Tribune: You are?
Swimmer: Red Lake, I think we met with non-tribal leaders. I do have a meeting this afternoon with some
of the other ...
Star & Tribune: Are there some of the other things on the agenda
that perhaps you would like to talk about, or is it an open event?
Swimmer: I’m just here at their convenience, as far as ...
Cook: Are we allowed into ... say if we’re from Red Lake are we allowed
to listen in on what our problems are?
Swimmer: [silence]
Cook: We can’t go to our government.
Last council meeting I went to, I was arrested by the B.I.A. police for
going to a council meeting. That’s
right, I was charged with disorderly conduct for walking into a council
meeting, by Barlow’s police.
[General laughter]
Bassett: You were talking on the level of tribal government. But, you need a strong tribal government in
order to dismantle the B.I.A. Do you
have any comprehensive plans to strengthen the one, so that you can dismantle
the other?
Swimmer: The only way that I can respond is that the pole of the
reservation have to decide if they are going to have a tribal government or not. Red Lake or other tribes that have people
that don’t like the government, we have several of these. But, we have 310 tribes altogether ...
you’re virtually going to have differences in any tribe, to some extent. Because, whoever doesn’t get elected gets
upset because they didn’t get elected, and whoever gets elected, gives the
appearance of [inaudible], so I don’t expect ... I mean, this ...
Bassett: But, if you’re dependent on populism and grassroots support for
building these governments. Have you not
... with that? How can you go on with
your overall plan to dismantle the B.I.A.?
Swimmer: I think that the word dismantle is wrong. It’s a phase-out, as tribes assume that
authority and responsibility, that the functions be transferred, as was intended
in self-determination. To being a
change in the roles, so to speak, as we get out of the way, Tribes take over
more. I don’t expect every tribal
government to run smoothly, even after fifteen years I wouldn’t expect
that. There will still be problems, and
there will still be [people who don’t believe that they have a voice in their
tribal government. But, I still say
that it’s left to those very people to change that tribal government, not us,
the federal government or the B.I.A. to step in there and try to make something
right. Because, you just end up with
the other side claiming the same abuses.
It has to be—if we don’t have that, I contend that if we don’t have it,
if we don’t have tribal government, then we ought to stop this business about
talking tribal government. If we’re not
capable people in Indian country ... what i hear these people saying is that—no
tribal government is better than the one we have. If that’s what they want, dissolve the tribal government, do
something else, but I contend that tribal government can be capable of doing
it, and if the people in Indian country want a government, they ought to have
the kind that they want. It can’t be a
B.I.A. imposed government.
McArthur: That’s a racket, that’s the word that you didn’t say. In other words, what you are saying, is you
are reinforcing the fact that our leaders are telling us. OK, you’re saying, when we come in and we
protest, such as several of us in this room who went through the election
process on the reservation, OK you say, you’re telling this man right here,
you’re telling all of us right here—because we’re all just a bunch of soreheads
because we lost an election. In
essence, that’s what you’re saying. In
essence, that’s what the tribal leadership tells us. OK, so what do we do? OK,
we come down here, and we ask questions, we say, OK, we find burnt ballots from
this past election. We’ve got people
who will testify to election boards who were carrying out bags and bags of
ballots, not counted, to keep the incumbents in. We come down here, we ask you, what should be done. I can’t do nothing. Then, you sit there and call us a bunch of
soreheads. OK, I ask you, we make a
personal request today, we’ll ask you right now—what would you do if we asked
you to come in and investigate the election held on White Earth? You’d say no, right. I’ll answer it for you, “no.”
Swimmer: That’s right, I’d say, go back to your tribal process.
McArthur: OK, hold on a minute.
My next question. OK, we have a
tribal council member who was elected, in this last election, who puts in a
request to the Bureau of Indian Affairs for an investigation of the election
board. Now, OK, what would you say to
that, then?
Swimmer: I would say that if there is fraud and criminal activity that
you suspect involved in that, you can turn it over to the U.S. Attorney’s
office, and it could be investigated.
If it’s an election malfeasance or misfeasance, we don’t have any
authority over it. You have an election
process to take care of that in your tribal constitution, in your tribal
government.
McArthur: OK, you heard what we all said today, about...
Swimmer: If someone is violating civil rights, that’s where the issue
really has been. In many cases you have
not had an adequate forum to address that, what we are trying to do is what I
mentioned earlier, to get legislation passed that will give you an optional
forum.
McArthur: OK, Mr. Barlow what do you say to that? What if a request comes to your desk, if say
from a tribal council member requesting a ...
Barlow: I’ve got to decline. We
called the press conference with the assistant secretary. Incidentally, he does have some appointments
starting at one p.m., and we have to get him a lunch, so he’ll be reconvening
at one p.m.
McArthur: A request did come from a tribal council member to monitor the
elections, and that request was denied by the Bureau. And, that was from a tribal council member, an incumbent.
Other: Yeah, right ...

R. (1995). A community gathering: selecting the symbols of stewardship in
the Ojibwe and farming communities of northern Wisconsin. Unpublished
doctoral dissertation, University of Pennsylvania.
Abstract: This study, based in northern Wisconsin, examines the combined
efforts of a group of Native Americans, farmers and environmental activists
within issues of resource stewardship, in an attempt to determine if this
coalition can be described as a community. The study centers on the symbolic
expression of community displayed in several different instances: the
presentation of a mixed blood land surveyor who acts as a symbol of local
unity; boat landing confrontations between spearfishers and demonstrators
during the reinstatement of Ojibwe treaty rights; mining protests in Rusk
County; and finally, an annual gathering which evolved from the mutual concerns
of these socially active individuals. Taped interviews, observation of events,
and scrutiny of published and orated statements were employed to discover
central metaphors and actions that the group used to describe itself. The study
concludes that different elements of a community can temporarily agree on the
meaning of such notions as stewardship, but that those notions and the symbols
used to express them are under constant negotiation. Because symbols cluster
meanings, they effectively unify diverse groups without achieving absolute
consensus. Individual engagement and the maintenance of social boundaries are
seen as more important factors in the definition of community than is a list of
descriptive factors.

Abstract: This study examines the representation of American Indian culture and
history through the medium of tribally owned and operated Indian museums.
Information gathered from the Indian Pueblo Culture Center in Albuquerque, New
Mexico, the Makah Cultural and Research Center in Neah Bay, Washington and the
Oneida Nation Museum in Oneida, Wisconsin focuses on how American Indian
tribes, through the establishment of tribal museums, present their own history
and cultural traditions. Major issues defined and addressed in the three case
studies are: (1) redefining the image of the American Indian through the
development of tribal museums which can portray tribal histories and traditions
in a more accurate and sensitive manner; (2) gaining and maintaining control of
sacred or ceremonial objects, and when appropriate, using the tribal museum as
the receiver or the repository for these items, and (3) creating and fostering
a sense of tribal ownership of the museum and its collections, thereby assuring
that the museum becomes an integral part of the community. Questions
constituting the basis of the research include does the factor of tribal
control affect the way traditions of a tribal community are portrayed for both
the members of the tribe and the outside public, and how does a tribal museum,
which traditionally is not a part of Indian culture, become one of the
transmitters of tribal knowledge, and in doing so, how does it become an
integral part of the Indian community?

Abstract: Wisconsin's Sokaogon Chippewa tribe has long opposed the plan of
Exxon Minerals Co. of Texas to build a zinc and copper mine near the Chippewa
Mole Lake Reservation. Members of the state's smallest Native American tribe
insist that such a mine would pollute the land and water on which they depend
for their very survival. Environmentalists also fear that mining operations
could adversely affect the state's water supply.

R. K. (1986). Ribbonwork of the Great Lakes Indians: the material of
acculturation (ethnohistory, trade, applique, gift, Metis). Unpublished
doctoral dissertation, The Ohio State University.
Abstract: Ribbonwork is a unique decorative art found on clothing and personal
accessories and is a material manifestation of culture contact and change.
Emerging among Great Lakes Indians in the late eighteenth century, ribbonwork
utilized non-native textile goods (imported silk ribbon) and European
needlework techniques in distinctly non-European designs and forms. Today,
ribbonwork garments signify tradition or 'Indianness' to native Americans with
a ribbonworking heritage. In the absence of in-depth investigation and
contextual analysis of ribbonwork as a manifestation of acculturation, the
author investigated the origin, diffusion, and persistence of ribbonwork.
Ethnohistorical data on ribbon and ribbonwork were collected from historical
documents (traders' accounts, colonial government records, travelers'
journals), historical photographs, ethnographies, museum artifacts, and through
interviews with contemporary American Indian ribbonworkers in Oklahoma. Ribbon
was found to be available to Great Lakes Indians during the late eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries through both trade and diplomatic gift and to be a
preferred item of exchange. Linkage between ribbonwork and traditional
decorative arts was demonstrated through the combination of ribbonwork and
indigenous decorative materials on a garment piece, as well as design parallels
of ribbonwork to other traditional decorative arts. From the findings on the
origin of ribbonwork it was hypothesized that ribbonwork was a manifestation of
Indian preferences, it represented the adaptation of Great Lakes Indians to
changing economic conditions, and was a unique innovative and yet conservative aesthetic
response by Great Lakes Indian women to culture change. The diffusion of
ribbonwork through the Great Lakes region was hypothesized to be a reflection
of cultural homogeneity brought about by acculturation and intertribal contact
fostered by the furtrade and that trading posts and metis traders were primary
agents in the spread of ribbonwork. The persistence of ribbonwork into the
twentieth century was related to the integration of ribbon and ribbonwork into
Great Lakes Indian cultures. Thus, inquiry into ribbonwork contributed to
understanding cultural contact and change among Great Lakes Indians and also to
a clarification of the role of material culture in acculturation.

C. M. (1992). The opinions of Native and non-Native Edmonton High School
students on factors influencing career decision-making (Canada).
Unpublished doctoral dissertation, University of Alberta (Canada).
Abstract: This investigation endeavoured to determine, by means of a
questionnaire-survey method, the opinions of urban Native and non-Native high
school students attending Edmonton Public and Separate (Catholic) schools
regarding questions pertaining to cultural values and factors influencing
career decision making. The instruments administered in this research included:
(1) The newly developed Cultural Value Inventory (CVI), used to measure Native
and Anglo cultural values developed from Richardson's (1981) listing of 37
pairs of Native and Anglo value statements, (2) A modified version of the
Career Factor Checklist (CFC) introduced by O'Neil and his associates (1978,
1980 a & b) to measure opinions regarding the influence of six major
factors considered to affect career decision making; familial, societal,
individual, socioeconomic, situational and psychosocial-emotional, (3) A
background information questionnaire to obtain data from respondents on
variables such as: grade, parental occupation, Native status and living
experiences on an Indian reserve or Metis settlement. The sample providing
usable data included 137 Native and 148 randomly sampled non-Native students
attending grade 10, 11 or 12 classes in one of ten Edmonton Public or Separate
high schools. These data were treated statistically to determine the presence
of significant differences. Some of the conclusions were: (1) There are no
significant differences between opinions of Native and non-Native Edmonton high
school students on Native and Anglo cultural value statements obtained from the
CVI. (2) There are no significant differences between opinions of Edmonton (a)
Native and non-Native students, (b) Native and non-Native male students, (c)
Native and non-Native female students, (d) Native students who had or had not
lived on a reserve or Metis settlement, and (e) Indian and Metis students on
the importance of the 6 CFC factors influencing career decision making. Both
Native and non-Native students emphasised the importance of the Individual
major factor and deemphasised the impact of external, environmental factors.
Native and non-Native students agreed on the three highest 'no effect'
subfactors but the Native sample was more aware of the importance of various
Socioeconomic and Psychosocial-Emotional subfactors influencing their career
decision making. Those assisting Native and non-Native students in their career
development are provided with recommendations as well as suggestions for
additional research.

Abstract: Natives in Canada have maintained their value systems throughout
colonization. Today a strong movement toward self-determination has begun in
this country. Tools brought by the Europeans and others are being used by
Natives peoples to allow them to break the constraints of imposed
marginalization colonization policy. One of the strongest of these tools is
music. At first European colonizers imposed their own music and worldview in an
attempt to assimilate Native people and their expressions. For many years
Natives kept their instruments and songs to themselves and learned Western
musical culture. The drum and teachings related to the land and spirituality
remained, hidden or cloaked in new expressions. Today Native people in Canada
are speaking out through their music. As Natives begin to answer the process of
colonization and redefine their role in Canada, they are reflecting traditional
teachings. These include Cree and Hopi teachings of the 'purification,' the
Seven Generations Prophecy (Iroquois) and the Seventh Fire Prophecy (Ojibwe). These teachings are related to
concerns about the killing of mother earth along with her medicines, trees,
fish and animal life (environmental degradation), and also with the social and
economic crises in this and other countries. Today we are living in the age of
the Seventh Fire. This thesis explores how a new music combining the spirit of
the drum and technology from the popular music world is helping to bring Native
songs, perspectives and prophecies to the centre of the world stage.

T. D. (1990). Internal tribal disputes in the age of self-determination
(Indians). Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Harvard University.
Abstract: This thesis is a qualitative study of the contemporary reasons for
and effects of internal tribal disputes on two Indian reservations, the Fond du
Lac Chippewa of Minnesota, and the Red Cliff Chippewa of Wisconsin. The
research methodology is based upon Glaser and Strauss's grounded theory and
includes unstructured interviews, follow-up interviews and focused group
interviews with critics and supporters of tribal leaders from each site. The
findings indicate the reasons, nature of and effects of criticism fit three
general theoretical models. The traditional/moral model asserts that some
Indians whoconsider themselves more traditional criticize the actions of their
tribal governments because they desire a return to a traditional, egalitarian
leadership style which focuses on the use of consensus in decisionmaking and
the sharing of material wealth. The political model purports that tribal governments
use the programs and services available under the current self-determination
policy to reward their supporters and to punish their detractors. The third
theory, a sense of community model, specifically fits the Red Cliff site. A
strong sense of community limits the negative impact of reservation politics on
individuals. This sense of community is typified by the reservation's small
population, a tribal council whose elections are held on an annual basis, and
the fact many of the residents are related to each other. The study indicates
that tribal politics, which is often typified by internal disputes, is a
strange blend of Indian tradition and American politics, and that each
reservation in the study has its own peculiar way of approaching and dealing
with internal criticism. The study may be useful to persons working in or
considering research in Indian country, since internal tribal disputes not only
influence the programs serving reservation communities, they often directly
effect the lives of many reservation residents.

high school students. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, The University of
Regina (Canada).
Abstract: This study described the perceptions of Indian and Metis students who
graduated in 1991 or were likely to graduate in 1992 from a high school within
the Regina, Saskatchewan public school system. The purpose of the study was to
identify those factors which Indian and Metis students perceived as influencing
the completion of their high school education. Information for the study was
obtained by means of a three-section questionnaire and follow-up interview of
selected participants. Questionnaires were distributed to 90 senior students
and graduates and follow-up interviews were conducted with three respondents.
Data analysis consisted of creating demographic profiles with information
obtained from the questionnaire. Responses were clustered and analyzed for
themes and categories and tabulated in terms of frequencies and percentages. It
was found that successful students rated themselves as the most important
factor in their success, both as a source of support and as an obstacle to
overcome. Family was rated second most important in terms of support and was
less important as an obstacle. Obstacles students encountered from friends were
the third most important, with help from friends rated a less important
supportive factor. The majority of students viewed the community as being
neutral or non-supportive. The most frequently mentioned positive school
experience was involvement with extra curricular activities. Some students
reported having to deal with negative attitudes of other students as a part of
their school experiences.

of PMS in adolescents? A comparison
study of Chippewa Native Americans and Caucasian Americans. Unpublished
doctoral dissertation, The University of North Dakota.
Abstract: Subjects completed a series of questionnaires as a eans to obtain
symptoms experienced across three phases of the cycle (menstrual, premenstrual
and intermenstrual). The questionnaires
completed included the Demographic Data Questionnaire, the Moos' Menstrual
Distress Questionnaire, the Depression Adjective Check List (Forms A and D),
the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Forms Y-1 and Y-2), and Index Cards for two
consecutive months. There were ninety-nine (99) subjects: forty-seven (47)
Caucasian American adolescents and fifty-two (52) Chippewa Native American
adolescents. Two subjects were dropped from this study, one from each group,
due to the exclusion criteria established prior to data collection, leaving
forty-six (46) and fifty-one (51) subjects per group respectively. Comparisons
of the self-reported anxiety, depression, menstrual symptoms, and demographics
between the two groups were conducted
to determine if differences existed between the two groups. More specifically,
comparisons were made to determine if differences during premenstrual phase per
se or any other symptoms reported existed between the two groups of adolescents
studied. Analyses compared the two groups in terms of demographic data
differences and/or symptom differences. It was hypothesized that no differences
would exist in terms of types and severity of symptoms as a function of the
phase of cycle for the two groups studied. Results indicated that, in general,
the Chippewa Native American group reported more anxiety, depression, water retention, negative affect, autonomic
reaction, control, and behavioral
change symptoms with the majority of the symptoms occurring in the
intermenstrual phase of the cycle. In terms of demographic data, the Chippewa
Native American group was significantly younger, regulated menstrual cycles at
a younger age, and were more likely to use condoms as a contraceptive
method. The Caucasian American group
was more likely to medicate symptoms via non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
such as Advil, were more educated about the menstrual cycle via films, more
likely to utilize a health professional as a source of information, and had
longer cycles than the Chippewa Native American group. Differences between the two groups were also
found for self-reported anxiety and depression, with both types of symptoms
occurring primarily in the menstrual phase of the cycle. Exploratory regression
analyses suggest some significant predictors of symptoms as well. The data
overall suggest differences between the two groups in regard to menstrual cycle
symptoms. However, the lack of consistency of the same symptoms to be existent
across at least two cycles did not appear to meet criteria for PMS.

Abstract: The objective of study in archaeology was to examine the saline
springs and salt flats within the Manitoba Lowlands Saline Waterbelt as a
resource for salt production. Field and archival data identified four groups of
people who used the saline springs to make salt: the prehistoric Natives; the
early fur traders and explorers; the Metis and the early industrialists.
Although archaeological evidence for prehistoric salt-making was weak, the
historic record demonstrates knowledge and use of salt.

Abstract: Methylmercury is a known neurotoxin at high blood levels (> 400 mu
g/l) and is thought to cause neurologic symptoms at substantially lower levels
in susceptible adults and infants. Given that levels of methylmercury in fish
in northern Wisconsin lakes can be high (> 1 ppm, FDA standard) and Chippewa
Indians take large amounts of fish from these lakes, the extent of their
exposure to methylmercury was investigated. Using tribal-maintained registries,
465 Chippewa adults living on reservation were selected randomly and were
invited to participate; 175 (38%) participated in the study. In an effort to
characterize nonrespondents, 75 nonrespondents were selected randomly and were
followed up aggressively. An additional 152 volunteers who were selected
nonrandomly also participated in the study. Subjects completed a questionnaire
about fish consumption patterns and had blood drawn for mercury determination.
Sixty-four persons (20%) had blood mercury levels in excess of 5 mu g/l (i.e.,
upper limit of normal in nonexposed populations); the highest level found was
33 mu g/l. Fish consumption was higher in males and the unemployed. Blood
mercury levels were highly associated with recent walleye consumption (p
=.001). Methylmercury levels in some Wisconsin Chippewa were found to be
elevated, but were below the levels associated with adverse health effects. We
recommend a continuation of efforts to limit exposures in this high-risk
population. [References: 22]

Abstract: Behavioral risk factors and chronic disease death rates vary markedly
among the numerous American Indian tribes. Local data on prevalence of risk
factors are important in determining effective community-based interventions.
The authors conducted an in-person survey to ascertain the prevalence of behavioral
risk factors among members of the Chippewa tribe living on reservations in
Wisconsin. A total of 465 Chippewa adults were randomly selected from tribal
registries and invited to participate in the study. Of these, 175 (38 percent)
participated. To characterize nonrespondents, 75 nonrespondents were randomly
selected and aggressively followed up. The authors compared their results with
data from the 1989 Wisconsin Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
Chippewa respondents reported high levels of obesity and tobacco use. No
significant differences existed between the original survey and followback of
nonrespondents. Compared with respondents who had telephones, those without
telephones were significantly more likely to be unemployed, to be a current
smoker or drinker, and to report nonuse of seatbelts. Compared with the general
Wisconsin population, Chippewa adults appear to have higher prevalences of
several chronic disease and injury risk factors. The original survey
methodology, despite the low response rate, appeared to give a more accurate
(less biased) estimate of risk factor prevalences than would have been achieved
by a telephone survey. (Abstract by:

J. L. (1981). The people in between: Indian-White marriage and the genesis
of a Metis society and culture in the Great Lakes region, 1680-1830.
Unpublished doctoral dissertation, University of Illinois at Chicago.
Abstract: The particular characteristics of the seventeenth century
colonization of French Canada--pitifully small numbers, dispersed frontier
settlement, an inhospitable climate, persistent warfare with the Iroquois and
their English allies, weak institutional controls, and a dependence upon the
fur trade as the primary livelihood--had produced by century's end a
distinctive occupational group, the voyageur-trader, whose mores and culture
had been considerably modified by Indian influences. Such men had been in the
vanguard of French penetration of the interior of North America prior to 1700.
After 1714, in partnership with the exceptional Indian women they took as
wives, they were to form the basis for a Great Lakes French-Indian trade
alliance and for the growth of a flourishing network of commercial emporia,
towns, and villages, far in advance of supposed White settlement. These towns,
which numbered several dozen by 1800, were visually and ethnically distinct
from both neighboring Indian towns and French communities along the St.
Lawrence. Devoted almost exclusively to the Indian trade, such towns were laid
out as string settlements along the water road, their residents paying little
attention to written titles and less to agriculture. The residents were, as it
happens, increasingly a people of mixed race, of Indian and White
ancestry--Metis. Historically neglected, these members of a 'fur trade society'
were far from insignificant. By 1830, Great Lakes Metis probably numbered
upwards of 15,000 persons, eclipsing in size most of the Great Lakes Indian
tribes. The material culture, occupational roles, and marriage patterns of
these Great Lakes people increasingly set them apart and laid the groundwork
for the nascence of a separate ethnic identity. In at least three
areas--architecture, language, and artistic design, Great Lakes Metis
innovatively produced or influenced new cultural forms born of the
hybridization of Euro-American and Indian traits. Marriages which linked the
dominant Metis lineages of the various towns with a dozen tribes produced an
expansionistic, region-wide commercial and kinship network. The most
significant key to the emergence of Metis identity was the ability of these
folk to exploit the middle ground between Indian and White. In trade, Metis
monopolized the middle rungs of the occupational ladder, serving as conduits
for the exchange of goods, information, and services. Similarly, Metis
amplified upon their symbolic role as a 'people in between' by serving as mail
carriers, interpreters, ferry tenders, teachers, and guides. They also
functioned as buffers between potentially antagonistic groups, and behind which
the ethnicities of Indian and White remained secure. Fur trade society was to
prove a fragile construction, although for a time it denied that mediation was
impossible and that the cultures of Indian and EuroAmerican societies were
irreconcilable. By 1830, this experiment in racial amalgamation within the
continental United States was being snuffed out. The English and later American
ascendancies, the growth of monopoly fur trade companies, the forced land
cessions and removal of the Great Lakes tribes, the spread of agricultural
settlement and land speculation across the middle West, and the hardening of
racial attitudes by the White majority, all contributed to the disfranchisement
of the Metis middlemen. Forced to seek new identities, Great Lakes Metis passed
White, Indian, or sought their kinsmen at Red River, Manitoba, where a Metis
identity continues to sustain itself.

Abstract: This paper addresses health aspects of juvenile delinquency in
American Indian youths. Comorbid conditions such as substance abuse and
depression often complicate diagnosis and treatment. A survey of the literature
and an examination of cultural, family, and school issues that influence the
presentation and management of conduct problems in Native American youths are
included. Cases are presented to emphasize the importance of cultural
sensitivity in clinical assessment and intervention. (Abstract by: Author)

M. A. (1990). Contemporary revitalization movements among the northern Great
Lakes Ottawa (Odawa) Indians: motives and accomplishments. Unpublished doctoral
dissertation, Wayne State University.
Abstract: The primary research objective has been to illustrate the context of
two current socio-religious movements among the Odawa Indians in Emmet County,
Michigan which are functioning as a means of advancing ethnic identity: one
approach is a conservative attempt to revitalize traditional tribal identity
and culture; the other involves attempts to incorporate a broader pan-Indian
identity. A second objective has been to understand what the motives are for involvement
in one or the other of the socio-religious movements and also, what it is that
the Odawa see as being accomplished by them. My hypothesis has been that the
revitalization phenomenon have resulted from a perceived crisis, particularly
experienced by women and young people, that serves to solidify tribal identity,
while the pan-Indian phenomenon (also the result of a perceived crisis) serves to solidify a more broadly-based
ethnic identity. One segment of the population participates in the conservative
revitalization movement as a result of a desire to maintain an unified tribal
identity (as Odawa); another segment does not participate (and indeed is combating it) either as a
result of a desire to become increasingly assimilated in the mainstream society
or, a desire to become part of a broader pan-Indian identity. Regardless of the
approach to achieving a greater sense of ethnic identity, both strategies are
the focus of social activism. The research was conducted while residing
full-time in Emmet County, Michigan for two years, although I have spent time
there for the last 35 years. Data came
from long conversations with primary consultants, from responses to structured
questionnaires from a larger number of respondants, from formal observations
and participation, all of which were recorded as field-notes, photographs and
in a final video. Data and interview materials were periodically summarized and
indexed on P.C. for analysis, direct reporting and relation to existing
information. The project has been significant because: (a) the Odawa see a need to have their history
documented; (b) the contemporary social life (and religion) of the Odawa has
been little studied, and; (c) this particular group is not part of a
reservation population and has therefore experienced different acculturative
pressures than groups that have been reserved or, that have federally
recognized tribal status.

Abstract: In this Ojibwa tale, Sootface is a young woman who does all the
cooking, mending, and fire tending for her father and her two mean and lazy
older sisters. When the mysterious invisible warrior announces through his
sister that he will take for his bride a woman with a kind and honest heart,
only Sootface proves worthy. The tale has been told before, even in
picture-book format, but the San Souci version reads aloud well, and the
watercolor artwork illustrates the story with quiet grace. A satisfying picture
book for reading aloud or alone, and a good choice for classes studying Native
Americans or comparative folklore.

significance by Tomas Ramirez. Certain
American Indians may obtain permits [from the U.S. Government] to have such
feathers for religious purposes, but they must be registered with the Bureau of
Indian Affairs and issued an identification card. Ramirez has no permit to possess such feathers. And as far as Hasychak is concerned, that
makes the case against him clear cut.
Ramirez said Hasychak told him that if he doesn't have an Indian
identification card, he isn't an Indian.
Hasychak said he is sensitive to an individual's First Amendment rights,
but for enforcement services, 'we have to defer to the Bureau of Indian
Affairs.'

R. R. (1991). Integration of Title V Indian Education supplemental services
into regular education programs. Unpublished doctoral dissertation,
University of South Dakota.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the desirability of
integrating supplemental services provided to Indian students under Title V of
P. L. 100-297 into the regular education program offered to all students. Other
purposes for the study were to compare similarities and differences in the
perceptions of school superintendents and Indian education coordinators
concerning supplemental services which could be integrated into the regular
education program and to establish a framework for an integration model. A
four-part survey instrument addressed the research questions. The first part
ranked the degree of importance of ten supplemental services on a six point
Likert Scale with one being low importance and six being high importance. The
second part ranked the desirability of integration of ten supplemental services
on a six point Likert Scale. The third part determined the integration of ten
supplemental services into four select service areas of the regular education
program. The fourth part requested school enrollments from school
superintendents and expenditures for each supplemental service from Indian
education coordinators. The survey instruments were mailed to 127 school
superintendents and 127 Indian education coordinators in Iowa, Minnesota,
Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Survey and
follow-up procedures resulted in a return of 170 survey instruments for a
return rate of 65.0 percent. Fifteen returns were not usable. Thus, the
analysis of data was based on 61.0 percent of the return responses. Perceptions
from the combined groups indicated that the importance of the ten supplemental
services, in descending order were as follows: Tutoring, Home School
Coordinator, Relations, Counseling, Personal/Social Development, Indian
Culture, Parent/Staff Development, Administration/Supervision, Parental Costs,
and Summer School. As a result of the analysis of data from both groups,
supplemental services were integrated into selected service areas of the
regular education programs as follows Administration/Supervision into
Administration, Indian Culture into Instructional, Parent/Relations into
Administration, Tutoring into Instructional, Summer School into Instructional,
Home-School Coordinator into Support, Counseling into Student, Parental Costs
into Support, Parent/Staff Development into Administration, and Personal/Social
Development into Student.

Abstract: Background: High hepatic copper concentrations have been reported in
several liver disorders. We report six Native Canadian children with severe
chronic cholestatic liver disease, who had excess hepatic copper and zinc.
Methods: The children, aged 22 months to 8 years, came from northern Ontario,
Canada. All were referred for possible liver transplantation because of
end-stage liver disease. We examined explanted liver samples (or liver biopsy
material in one case) by scanning transmission electronmicroscopic (STEM) X-ray
elemental microanalysis and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Samples from
four controls (two with no liver pathology, one with biliary atresia, and one
with Wilson's disease) were also analysed by atomic absorption
spectrophotometry. Findings: The explanted livers showed similar distinctive
signs of advanced biliary cirrhosis, and on electron-microscopy there were
dense deposits in enlarged lysosomes and in cytoplasm. Hepatic copper
concentrations were many times higher in the five patients with measurements
(47.6-56.9 mu-g/g dry weight) than in two samples of normal control liver
tissue (2.3 and 2.9 mu-g/g). Similarly, hepatic zinc concentrations were many
times higher in the patients than in controls (104-128 vs 1.9-3.2 mu-g/g dry
weight). Interpretation: The excess copper may be due to chronic cholestasis
but the excess zinc is unexplained. Since three of the patients are related
(shared grandparents), a genetic disorder of metal metabolism is possible, but
we cannot exclude environmental factors.

doctoral dissertation, The University of Wisconsin--Madison.
Abstract: Perceived community-based rehabilitation needs were assessed using
the Concerns Report Method. In addition to describing needs, the influence of
experience with disability and cultural identification on perceived
rehabilitation needs was also investigated. A significant feature of this study
was the involvement of local constituencies throughout the research process,
promoting a sense of ownership of the data generated on the part of the
community--Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin. The information generated was
intended to be useful to the Oneida community in developing their own
culturally appropriate programming and follow-up. Participants who completed
the survey were enrolled Oneida tribal members who were recruited at the
reservation health center, and 156 individuals provided complete responses.
Analysis of variance was used to examine the influence of experience with
disability and cultural identification on perceptions of rehabilitation needs,
with needs defined in four different ways. No significant differences were
found on mean importance ratings across all concerns, the number of 'priority'
needs, or the number of 'high priority' needs. However, significant differences
were found on mean satisfaction with community response to concerns, with
participants having personal experience with disabilities showing greater
satisfaction than those who did not, and participants with American Indian
cultural identification showing less satisfaction than those with bicultural or
the anomic identification. Significant to the community needs and the Concerns
Report Method is the need to return the results of the study to the community
in 'town hall' meetings, so that the Oneida people can use the information to
establish their own unique agendas to meet the needs of people with
disabilities. The researcher will continue to work with the community in
sharing the results of the study and facilitating the use of the information.

I. R. (1983). A cross-cultural study examining the effects of cultural
schemata on the reading comprehension of average sixth grade readers.
Unpublished doctoral dissertation, The University of Wisconsin--Madison.
Abstract: This study investigated the relationship between cultural schemata
and reading comprehension. Three cultural diverse groups of children, namely,
Chicano/Hispanic--Texas; Navaho/Native American--New Mexico, and
Anglo/American--Wisconsin, average sixth grade students read a total of nine
folktales. Three of the passages had a Mexican cultural overview, three a
Native American, and three an American. After reading each passage, the
subjects completed a 20-item probed recall test. The mean scores on the
comprehension tasks revealed that the culture-specific passages were
comprehended significantly better than the non-culture-specific passages. The
evidence indicates that cultural schemata profoundly influences how reading
texts are comprehended. In addition to the reading comprehension task, the
students were timed on the reading speed among the nine passages. The findings
showed that there were no differences in the reading speed among the
culture-specific and non-culture-specific passages by the Chicano and Navaho
students. The Anglo students read all the passages significantly faster than
the two other groups of students. A final finding of this study revealed that
there were no significant differences in passage comprehension on the
culture-specific selections between the male and female students do better in
reading comprehension irrespective of schemata embodying knowledge of the
content of discourse. The results of the study were discussed in light of the
basic premise that schemata embodying the background knowledge of a person
provides the framework for understanding the texts he/she reads. The evidence
indicates that cultural background is the underlying framework which interacts
with the text to produce comprehension. Such research findings on cultural
schemata and its implications to reading comprehension were discussed in view
of an attempt to get reading programs to include reading materials that are
more closely related to the minority children's cultural background. The
present research represents an attempt to better meet the reading needs of minority
children in education.

E. W. (1981). The relationship of test anxiety and selected background
factors to reading achievement and attitude of intermediate grade Menominee
Indian children. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, The University of Wisconsin--Madison.
Abstract: This study investigated relationships between selected background
factors and the reading achievement and attitude of Menominee Indian
intermediate grade children. Those aspects of reading examined were vocabulary
knowledge, comprehension, attitude toward reading, and written vocabulary
represented by pupils' written tokens and types derived from a uniform stimulus
composition. The background factors selected for study were test anxiety,
intelligence, school attendance, pupil opinion, and socioeconomic status. The
subjects for this study were all of the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade
Menominee Indian pupils in the four schools in Menominee County, Wisconsin. In
an antecedent vocabulary development study subjects in Treatment A received an
infusion of high frequency vocabulary presented in culturally relevant
Menominee stories. Subjects in Treatment B received the identical vocabulary
but were exposed to conventional approaches and materials. The groups were
roughly equal in number, but were found to be significantly different in
intelligence and socioeconomic status. Class means on the reading variables
were accepted from posttest measures in the vocabulary study. Two instruments
were administered at the posttest period, Sarason's Test Anxiety Scale for
Children and a brief original opinionnaire designed for this study which
assessed pupils' affective response to selected aspects of the antecedent
study. The other background data regarding intelligence, absence, and
socioeconomic status were obtained from pupils' school records. Pearson
product-moment correlation coefficients were computed between the five reading
variables and the five background variables within each of the treatment
groups, and levels of significance were determined for each of these
relationships. All pairs of factors attaining significance, within groups, were
then compared for between-group difference using Fisher's r to z transformation
procedure and tested for significance. Principal findings of this investigation
were as follows: (1)Nine significant correlations were found in Treatment Group
A: Test Anxiety, Intelligence, and Socioeconomic Status, each with Vocabulary
and with Comprehension; Intelligence and Socioeconomic Status, each with
Attitude; and, Pupil Opinion with Attitude. (2)Six significant correlations
were found in Treatment Group B: Intelligence with each, Vocabulary,
Comprehension, Attitude, Tokens, and Types; and, Pupil Opinion with Attitude.
(3)Four significant between-group differences were found for Written Tokens
with Intelligence, and for Vocabulary, Comprehension, and Attitude, each with
Socioeconomic Status, in the latter three cases the correlations of greater
magnitude occurring in Treatment Group A. (4)Absence, contrary to expectation based
upon research and field observation, was not significantly related to the
reading variables in either Treatment Group. While no causal relationship may
be inferred from these results regarding use of the special cultural materials,
the comparisons made in Treatment Group A support the educational validity of
such materials. While this correlational study utilizing non-randomized intact
groups precludes generalization to other populations, it may be concluded these
variables are of sufficient interest to warrant further investigation.

F. J. (1997). The creation and development of a program of study derived
from Ojibwe philosophy for a proposed center of learning and research for the
arts (Manitoulin Island, Ontario). Unpublished doctoral dissertation, New
York University.
Abstract: The purpose of this research was to create a proposal for a center of
learning and research in the arts derived from the philosophy of the Ojibwe of
Manitoulin Island. This center would promote and perserve cultural activities
of living traditions concerned with art in an environment conducive to this
goal, where students could continue to learn from the masters of these
traditions. As an artist-researcher I participated in tribal rituals of the
Ojibwe of Manitoulin Island, over a two year period, in order to determine
whether their traditional values and beliefs constitute a philosophy that
employs reason and argument in search for truth and knowledge. A central issue
for investigation was the question of whether there is an Ojibwe aesthetic. I
took a hermeneutic phenomenological approach in order to understand the
modalities of interpretation, that were presented to me. This proposed center
was based, in part, on Black Mountain College which was founded in 1933 on the
democratic principles of the philosopher and educator John Dewey. Black
Mountain encouraged students to be curious, critical and experimental in the
pursuit of their education. It concerned itself with putting art at the center
of education. It encouraged exploration and experimentation in art. Education
at Black Mountain College took place at all times, and not merely in
classrooms. Thus the proposed center would combine non-Native educational
philosophies, and artistic tenets of the Ojibwe philosophy. The center's
program is designed specifically for college and university art students,
interested community members of the nearby reservations, and the small
communities on the island. While the curriculum reflects Western thought, the
foundation for the curriculum was dervied from the Ojibwe culture's particular
system or set of beliefs that constitute their worldview. The center's
four-program would offer a BFA and/or B.Ed. degrees, in association with three
universities in Ontario Canada: University of Toronto, Laurentian University,
and Nipissing University.

in comparative perspective. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, University
of Alberta (Canada).
Abstract: This study undertakes a comparative analysis of the efforts by
indigenous peoples in Canada and Russia to become self-governing, with the intent
of producing a theory which explains the origins and outcomes of the
contemporary struggle for aboriginal self-government. It is argued that the
struggle for self-government is a consequence of the social conflict between
two disparate societies--indigenous and modern-state. Through an analysis of
the sociopolitical histories of the aboriginal peoples in Canada and Russia,
the study argues that it is modern state buildingnot colonialism--that is the
decisive historic factor which irrevocably shapes the political development of
indigenous political communities, leading eventually to their quest for
self-government. One of the most revealing findings of this study is that,
despite the profound differences between Canada (liberal-democratic,
capitalist) and Russia (authoritarian, state-socialist), the policies pursued
by the state and the pattern of relations between the state and aboriginal
peoples are strikingly similar. The study makes three contributions to the
scholarship on aboriginal politics: Theoretically, it advances a comprehensive
explanation of the efforts by indigenous people to accomplish
self-government--origins and outcomes. At present, such a theoretical account
does not exist and is urgently needed. Methodologically, it presents a comparative
study of aboriginal politics within two very different societies--a capitalist,
liberal democracy (Canada) and a non-capitalist, authoritarian state (Russia). This study represents one of the
first efforts to go beyond comparative studies among liberal democracies and,
as a result, holds the promise of meaningfully contributing to our
understanding of aboriginal politics. Substantively, this study offers a
comparative study of the views of aboriginal people in Canada and Russia. In
addition to interviewing community elders and political elites, extensive
interviews were conducted among 'ordinary' community members in the Evenk
settlement of Tyanya (Siberia) and in the Metis settlement of Gift Lake
(Alberta) on issues related to their communities and self-government.

J. T. (1992). The making of the Metis in the Pacific Northwewst fur trade
children: race, class and gender. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, The
University of British Columbia (Canada).
Abstract: If the psychiatrist's belief that childhood determines adult
behaviour is true, then historians should be able to ascertain much about the
fabric of past cultures by examining the way in which children were raised.
Indeed, it may be argued that the roots of new cultures are to be found in the
growing up experiences of the first generation. Such is the premise adopted in
this thesis, which explores the emergence of the Metis in the Pacific Northwest
by tracing the lives of fur trade youngsters from childbirth to old age.
Specifically, the study focuses on the children at Fort Vancouver, the Hudson's
Bay Company headquarters for the region, during the first half of the
nineteenth century--a period of rapid social change. While breaking new ground
in childhood history, the thesis also provides a social history of fur trade
society west of the Rocky Mountains. Central to the study is the conviction
that the fur trade constituted a viable culture. While the parents in this
culture came from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds, their mixed-blood
youngsters were raised in the 'wilderness' of Oregon in a fusion of fur trade
capitalism, Euro-American ideology and native values--a milieu which forged and
shaped their identities. This thesis advances the interpretation that, despite
much variation in the children's growing up experience, most fur trade
youngsters' lives were conditioned and contoured by the persistent and
sometimes contrary forces of race, class and gender. In large measure, the
interplay of these forces denoted much about the children's roles as adults.
Rather than making them victims of 'higher civilization,' however, the
education of fur trade children allowed them access to both native and white
communities. Only a few were 'marginalized'. The majority eventually became
members of the dominant culture, while a few consciously rejected the white
experience in favour of native lifestyles.

Ryan, S. L. (1997). The effect of student ethnicity on the development of
interventions by school psychologists (racism, prejudice). Unpublished
doctoral dissertation, Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Abstract: Psychological and educational literature has discussed how the
ethnicity of clients and students effects the development of interventions and
ways to improve the cultural awareness of mental health professionals. This
dissertation study examined (1) the development of interventions by 368
Wisconsin school psychologists for American Indian, American Asian, African American,
and white European American students and their families through a state-wide
administered questionnaire, and (2) the training in intervention development,
specifically for minority students, provided by school psychology training
programs in Wisconsin. Results indicated that most study respondents did not
consider student ethnicity as important when developing their interventions.
Respondents who did directly consider student ethnicity usually did so for
American Indian students. The types and/or frequency of interventions varied
depending on the school psychologist's age, gender, number of students in their
school district, ethnicity, expressed attitudes, and training. When examining
respondent training, most respondents reported limited intervention training
through their university programs. Respondents supplemented their training as
needed through other means such as workshops or professional reading. When they
had received intervention training, it was usually for working with individual
students and seldom for working with families or minorities. A total of 63% of
respondents felt their training had been inadequate for working with
minorities. The examination of school psychologist training programs in
Wisconsin indicated a wide variation among programs in the type and amount of
training offered in interventions with minorities. The results of this study
suggest that school psychologists who are from predominantly white middle-class
traditional American backgrounds often fail to recognize how their cultural
background affects the way they perform as a school psychologist and do not
realize that the success of their interventions is decreased if they do not
consider ethnic factors.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To explore the covariation of risk behaviors in a national
sample of American Indian reservation-based youth using listwise principal
components factor analysis and to determine how these risk behaviors may vary
by age and sex. DESIGN: Analysis of data from the National Indian Adolescent
Health Survey, a validated anonymous self-report questionnaire of 162 items
addressing various health domains. SETTING: The survey was administered
nationally in more than 200 reservation-based schools. PARTICIPANTS: Thirteen
thousand nine hundred twenty-three reservation-based American Indian or Alaska
Native students in grade 7 through 12 representing more than 50 tribes. The
listwise factor analysis sample included 7687 respondents with complete data.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Item loading and factor correlations by age and sex for
30 risk behaviors across various health domains. RESULTS: Three risk behavior
factors were fairly stable across sex and age: (1) the use of alcohol, tobacco,
and other drugs; (2) risky sexual behavior, and (3) suicidal behaviors.
Correlations between these and other factors suggested different strengths of
relationships by sex and age. Other factors, including violence, truancy, and
delinquency, showed differences in item loading on factors and correlations
between factors. The use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs was most
frequently associated with other risk behavior factors, and suicidal behaviors
showed the next highest frequency of intercorrelations. CONCLUSIONS: There are
sex and age differences in the covariation of risk behaviors, and suicidal
behaviors should be further investigated to determine of our findings are
unique to American Indian youth. Health interventions that focus categorically
on 1 risk dimension should also emphasize substance use prevention and
intervention. To prevent substance abuse among American Indian youth, research
efforts need to focus on effective strategies for coping with social and
psychological stressors. (Abstract by:

L. M. (1997). Silenced voices: patriarchy, cultural imperialism and
marginalized others (Native American, Ojibway). Unpublished doctoral
dissertation, Arizona State University.
Abstract: Knowledge is always produced by individuals who occupy particular
material bodies and social positions. While all knowledge formations are
culturally constructed, these constructions are attached to material bodies
which are located in particular contexts. Knowledge is produced by individuals
based upon experiences and individual social situations. Under a patriarchal
social structure, although all knowledge claims are socially situated, only
those of the dominant group are universalized as the beliefs of all members of
society. Thus, patriarchy systematically excludes and silences the experiences
of marginalized groups such as women, people of color, children, Lesbians and
Gays, and the poor. It is argued that 'truth,' as constructed by social
scientists, is neither objective, nor universal, but, rather, reflects and
perpetuates the social and economic systems that benefit those who produce it.
The valorization of 'scientific' knowledge in modern western culture plays a
crucial role in excluding the knowledges offered by women, people of color, and
others. The author discusses the challenges that marginalized groups pose to
the patriarchy when individuals break silence and voice their truths as Other.
An historical analysis (deconstruction) of federal Indian policy in the United
States is provided, exploring how western paternalism led to the colonization
and genocide of American Indian Nations, as well as contemporary tribal
dependency on the federal government. The internalized oppression of American
Indian people is explored. Throughout these sections, the author reveals her
own personal experiences of loss of culture, family violence, mixed-blood
identity, and self-hatred as they relate to the continuing genocide of Indian
Nations. In the final chapter of this dissertation, the author explores
violence against American Indian women and children as experiences of the
patriarchal power structure. Drawing upon feminist critiques, she examines
power relationships in western patriarchy that create and foster violence
against the disempowered. The silence shrouding domestic violence and childhood
sexual abuse in Indian communities is examined as a fluid example of exclusion,
or private and public subordination The assertions in this section are further
illuminated by the author, using poetry describing her experiences of
victimization within society and within the patriarchal family structure.

Abstract: This study assessed the importance of over the counter (OTC) drugs in
physician drug mentions as captured in the 1990 National Ambulatory Medical
Care Survey. The first objective was to provide overall national estimates of
OTC drug mentions with regard to physician, patient and drug characteristics.
The second objective was to identify physician and patient variables related to
OTC drug mentions in relevant drug therapeutic classes. Sample physicians
prescribed or recommended 40,582 drugs which are referred to as drug mentions.
The dependent variable as the ratio OTC to prescription (Rx) drug mentions
(OTC/Rx). Results for the first objective showed that at the national level,
9.7% of drug mentions were for OTC drugs, representing a ratio OTC/Rx of .11.
Primary care specialties (general and family practice, internal medicine),
women between 16 and 34 years, Asian/American-Indian, and patients with Rx drug
coverage experienced high OTC drug recommendations (OTC/Rx>=.11). For the
second objective, logistic regressions identified that physician's variables
associated with increased OTC drug mentions were primary care specialties in
each drug therapeutic class considered except the skin and mucous membrane
class. Specialized physicians, in the drug therapeutic class related to their
specialty, were either associated with decreased OTC drug mentions or were not
selected. Exceptions were endocrinology in the hormone and hormonal mechanism
class, and otolaryngology in the respiratory tract class. These two specialties
were associated with increased OTC drug mentions. Patient drug coverage status
was not significant. Physician type and location of practice, patient gender,
race, and age were significant variables but their selection differed in each
drug therapeutic class. The study concludes that physician's OTC drug mentions
are substantial and that primary care specialties should be considered by those
interested in OTC drug utilization in ambulatory care practice.

S. L. (1997). The effects of a perinatal intervention program on pregnancy
outcomes for urban Native American mothers and infants. Unpublished
doctoral dissertation, The Florida State University.
Abstract: Medical and social work professionals have known for several decades
of the high rate of infant mortality that plagues Native Americans.
Furthermore, the State of Wisconsin reports one of the highest rates of Native
American infant mortality in the U.S. This research examines a Perinatal
Intervention Program for urban Native American mothers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The goal of my research is to identify predictors for healthy pregnancies that
produce healthy babies. Results of the study were mixed. Consistent with
medical and social work literature, prenatal care was found to be a successful
predictor of healthy babies, that is, the more visits a mother made to the obstetrical
specialist, the healthier her baby. Additionally, the more contacts she had
with Perinatal Staff during her pregnancy, the healthier her baby. However,
more prenatal care did not mean healthier pregnancies; the more prenatal visits
a mother made, the more complications she experienced during pregnancy and at
labor and delivery. Smoking during pregnancy produced smaller babies with more
complications at birth; however, this effect became insignificant when prenatal
visits and contacts with Staff during pregnancy were considered. Mothers who
had a history of drug and/or alcohol use produced babies who were more likely
to suffer complications at birth. Contradictory to predictions, overweight and
obese mothers had healthy babies, although obese mothers did experience more
complications at labor and delivery. Mothers who had suffered a previous
reproductive loss had larger babies than mothers who had suffered no losses.
Married women fared better than single women with regard to complications
during pregnancy and at labor and delivery. However, women who had not
completed high school did better than women who had completed high school at
labor and delivery, an unexpected finding. Mothers who identified with tribes
outside Wisconsin also suffered fewer complications at labor and delivery than
did mothers who identified with Wisconsin tribes. Mothers who took classes
offered by the Perinatal Staff experienced more complications than did mothers
who took fewer classes. These mixed results indicate a need for further
research on the pregnancy behaviors of urban Native American mothers.

N. L. (1988). A survey of the prevalence of childhood sexual victimization
among eighteen -- twenty-one-year-old college students and its relationship to
alcohol abuse and bulimia. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, University of
Northern Colorado.
Abstract: This study assessed the prevalence of childhood sexual abuse within a
cohort of 18 to 21 year old male and female college students. It also
investigated the relationship between childhood sexual victimization and
current alcohol abuse and between childhood sexual abuse and current bulimic
eating behaviors. The research was conducted at Chadron State College
(Nebraska), the University of Northern Colorado, and the University of New
Mexico. Volunteer subjects for this project were students enrolled in
introductory social science classes at these institutions. A modified version
of a sexual history questionnaire developed by Finkelhor (1979), the Michigan
Alcoholism Screening Test, and questions developed to assess bulimia were
completed by 690 students who met the age criteria. Ethnicity of the 690 students was: Caucasian, 71.2%, Hispanic,
19.0%, Native American, 4.7%, Black, 1.8%, Asian, 1.3%, and Other, 2.0%. The level of significance for rejection of
six null hypotheses was set at.05. Males and females were compared on the
categories of: (a) prevalence of sexual abuse by relatives and nonrelatives,
(b) relationship of sexual abuse to alcohol abuse, and (c) relationship of
sexual abuse to bulimia. It was found that a substantially greater number of
females were sexually abused, both by relatives and nonrelatives. Alcohol abuse
was found to be related to sexual abuse for males but not for females. A
relationship was found between bulimia and childhood sexual victimization for
males but not for females when the DSM III criteria for bulimia were used. When
the stringent DSM III criteria for bulimia were lowered to include only binging
and purging and/or binging and excessive laxative use, a significant
relationship was found for females between sex abuse and bulimic behaviors. No
difference was found in these behaviors between abused and non-abused males. A
relationship was also found between alcohol abuse and bulimic behaviors for
females, using the less stringent criteria for bulimia.

Abstract: To successfully implement ecosystem management an understanding must
be achieved regarding how different forest communities and ecosystems function
and interrelate at the landscape level. This study explores the composition,
structure and disturbance patterns of the pre-European settlement forests of
eastern upper Michigan, by reconstruction of the forests from General Land
Office Survey notes. Results suggest that the pre-European settlement landscape
was a vast array of irregular patches, composed of different successional
stages and forest associations of different age and size classes. The
composition and structure of the forest was driven by fire, windthrow, insect
related mortality and beaver (Castor canadensis) floodings. Hemlock (Tsuga
canadensis) was a dominant species in the landscape. The results of the study
provide a foundation for understanding how today's forests differ from those
that dominated the landscape before Europeans began to harvest timber.

Abstract: American Indian women are playing an increasingly important role as
policymakers in state, local, and tribal politics. Despite their activity and
impact, however, few studies examine their political agendas or public policy
preferences. One exception is Melanie McCoy's 1992 study of female tribal
leaders published in Women & Politics. Like McCoy, we explore the research
questions: What are the public policy agendas of American Indian women leaders?
What do they wish to accomplish? What motivates them? Does their gender and/or
ethnic identity have an influence on their political participation?

this research is to identify and compare Boyer's use of traditional symbols
expressed in a contemporary form and my own artistic methods including
painting, photography, drawing and print making. Recommendations for future
research include: a methodical comparison of other artists and media styles and
an exploration of Native Peoples' symbols used beyond their traditional
heritage.

Abstract: The Kline 1 site, located in
Mendon Township, St. Joseph County,
Michigan, is a multi-component site situated on the eastern shore of
Portage Lake. While the projectile points recovered during surface collecting
suggest intermittent presence on this site from late Paleo-Indian to Late
Woodland times, the occupation offering the most substantial cultural and
subsistence data is attributed to the Late Woodland period. Radiocarbon assays
received on two features gave dates of 830 - 70 B.P. and 810 - 50 B.P.
calibrated to be A.D. 1215 and A.D. 1223 respectively. The importance of this
site relates to its spatially intermediate position between the better
described Moccasin Bluff site in southwest Michigan and the many Younge
Tradition sites to the east.
Application of the microcomputer program Statgraphics to the problem of
distribution of the lithic debris was undertaken. Based on the resulting
analysis several micro- and macro-activity areas are proposed for the site.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To describe national trends in hospitalizations for motor
vehicle related injuries among children and youth (0-24 years) of the United
States Indian Health Service (IHS) from 1981-92. DESIGN: Descriptive
epidemiologic study of the E coded national hospital discharge database of the
IHS. RESULTS: From 1981 to 1992, the age standardized annual incidence of motor
vehicle related injury hospitalizations (per 100,000 population) among American
Indian and Alaskan Native (AI/AN) youth decreased more than 65% from 269 to 93.
Substantial declines in hospitalization rates for all age and sex groups, all
IHS areas, and most injury types were seen over this time. Injuries to vehicle
occupants accounted for 78% of all motor vehicle related injury
hospitalizations. The annual incidence of hospitalization (per 100,000
population) ranged from 291 in the Billings (Wyoming/Montana) and Aberdeen (the
Dakotas) areas to 38 in the Portland area (Pacific Northwest). CONCLUSIONS:
National motor vehicle related injury hospitalization rates of AI/AN children
and youth decreased significantly from 1981-92. This may be due to a reduction
in the incidence of severe motor vehicle related trauma, changing patterns of
medical practice, and changes in the use of services. Additional measures, such
as passage and enforcement of tribal laws requiring the use of occupant
restraints and stronger laws to prevent alcohol impaired driving, might further
reduce the incidence of serious motor vehicle related injuries in this high
risk population. (Abstract by: Author)

specifically, tall stature, long, thin extremities (particularly, fingers and
toes), increased urinary excretion of hydroxyproline, aortic aneurysm, aortic
regurgitation and pathologic evidence of aortic rupture and alastic tissue
fragmentation. Intimal hyperplasia was present in the extramural coronary
arteries, while the intramural arteries, usually thought to be involved, were
normal. (Abstract by: Author)

Abstract: Francis Blake, of Red Lake, MN, was recently sighted in New York City
by PRESS staff. Blake was asked about
his presence there and why he was running away from the ‘rez.’
Blake laughed and told the PRESS that he was in town to promote his book and
meet with his publisher. Part of the
promotional tour included interviews with local radio and newspaper writers.
By the time the PRESS had reached Blake he indicated he was tired of the
interviews and was seeking some time to tour the city. Considering the plight of this Red Lake
elder, the PRESS volunteered its services and escorted him on a quick tour.
The first stop for Blake was the American Indian Community House in New York City.
Francis met office staff and then proceeded on to a “power lunch” with
administrators.
Community House personnel were happy to meet Blake but none reacted like former
Bemidji resident Nadema Smith Agar.
Nadema had not been told of the arrival of some of her hometown friends
and reacted with awe in seeing that she had been traced down in the “Big
Apple.” Her expression was worth a
thousand words.
After lunch, Blake entered the “Iron Worm” and proceeded underground to the
National Museum of the American Indian.
He met with members of the museum’s resource center and talked to other
relocated Anishinabe from Minnesota.
From the resource center it was on to a tour of the exhibit. Blake indicated he was very happy to see a
museum of this type in existence. He
said it was time this country learn about our rich heritage and contributions
to culture.
As the sun set on the “Battery,” Blake seemed to take on a stylish, almost
cosmopolitan air. Sipping his house
special coffee, he stopped and watched rush hour come and go and the financial
district emptying its three-piecers into the streets.
Then it was time for the suave and debonair Blake to experience New York’s
nightlife. The place was a local watering
hole for New York writers, poets and newspaper personnel. Here, he met with several reporters to
critique their reviews and meet them face to face. The PRESS must report that Blake was poised and unflappable in
the face of these society piranhas.
The day rounded out with a late dinner at the home of his publisher and Blake
was on the next plane out, back to Minnesota and more publicity gigs in the
“Little Apple” (Minneapolis).

Abstract: In the Ojibwa of Western Canada, Laura Peers seeks to explain how and
why these people, whose ancestral roots lay in the northern Great Lakes area,
emerged as a distinctive group living in the woodlands, parklands, and
grasslands of western Canada. Her basic premise is that the Western Ojibwa
forged an identity for themselves by dealing creatively with the dynamic
tensions that existed between their desire to maintain continuity with their
ancestral ways and the mounting pressures for change. She offers us a richly
detailed account of that struggle.
The fur trade was, of course, one of the paramount catalysts for change.
Peers's treatment of it is problematic and contradictory, however. In her
opening chapter she subscribes to the outdated notion that aboriginal people's
reasons for participating in the trade were fundamentally different from those
of their European counterparts. In particular, Peers suggests that native
people considered the creation and sustenance of alliances through trade as a
goal of equal importance to that of obtaining commodities. She adds that the
practice of maintaining kinship relations through the tradition of sharing also
encouraged aboriginal people to participate. By contrast, says Peers, the
"European concept of trading as an economic exchange is a much narrower
one" (p. 9). Of course, this is a false dichotomy. In the minds of
Europeans, trade and politics were not divorced. Imperial and colonial
histories worldwide attest to this fact. Were it otherwise, the English and the
French would not have been so quick to appreciate and take advantage of this
dimension of native life.
More to the point, in later chapters Peers offers' abundant examples that show
economic considerations often were paramount to the Western Ojibwa. In fact,
she concludes her book with the observation: "based on this reading of the
documents, I feel that the Ojibwas' decisions were intended, in part, to bring
economic benefits, to allow them to obtain the most food and trade goods
possible with the least risk" (p. 208). In other words, the Western Ojibwa
sought to maximize their returns. And, it seems, many of them did so mostly for
personal gain. By the end of the eighteenth century, for example, Peers says
the Western Ojibwa had become wealthy people. She adds that the "descriptions
of their clothing and lavish jewelry" point to the presence of an
"individualized wealth complex." (p. 59).
In chapter one Peers also begins her book by raising the important issue of
economic dependence. She suggests that most previous scholars have overstated
the extent to which aboriginal people, and the Western Ojibwa in particular,
came to rely on European traders and goods. She asserts that the technological
superiority of European goods - even firearms compared to the bow-and-arrow -
is overrated. Peers further declares: "true dependence came with the
reserve era, when the loss of land and resources, personal freedom, political
autonomy and cultural self-determination compounded the changes that
participation in the fur trade had wrought in Native societies" (p. 14).
Yet, in subsequent chapters she cites countless instances that point to
opposite conclusions. The most notable of these was the Western Ojibwa
receptivity to the Shawnee prophet Tenskwatawa's teachings during the first decade
of the nineteenth century. Peers explains that the prophet's message was so
appealing, in part, because he admonished groups "not to use items
believed to be of European manufacture or import." And this, the author
claims, offered the Ojibwa the "means of asserting some feeling of control
over an increasingly chaotic fur trade in which they had less power." (pp.
86-87). She adds that "when adherence to The Prophet's strict rules failed
to produce any changes in their lives, their appeal faded, and within a few
years they were abandoned." (p. 87). In other words, the Western Ojibwa
were aware of the economic trap (a staples trap) they had fallen into and made
an effort (albeit abortive) to correct it by altering their religious beliefs
and practices. This and other episodes also illustrate that it is dubious to
define (inter)dependency solely in terms of the exchange of subsistence
technologies. The Western Ojibwa turned to European traders for life style and
status goods.
Throughout Peers focuses on economic questions, but it is unsettling that she
makes almost no use of the records that speak most directly to them - the
trading company account books. These sources provide a crucial cross-check for
the fur trader's narrative, which she relies on very heavily, and would have
enabled her to sketch a less impressionistic picture of the Western Ojibwa as
producers and consumer. Peers tells us that it is important to move beyond the
band level in order to gain a better understanding of the varied trading
practices of individual Ojibwa. An examination of some of the surviving debt
books would have been an excellent way to have done so.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To initiate a child abuse and neglect prevention and
intervention program for Indian families living on a reservation through a
community educator who will increase public awareness, promote the use of
available resources, and clarify reporting responsibilities.
ABSTRACT: An intensive program of child abuse prevention and intervention will
be initiated for Red Lake Reservation. The program design would include a child
protection worker and a child abuse and neglect community education program.
The child protection worker would be used to resolve the problems occurring
from the lack of a central reporting agency and also to coordinate the
reservation-based child protection team and support groups. The community
educator would be responsible for designing programs that essentially serve
three functions: 1) increase the awareness of the community regarding physical,
sexual abuse, and neglect; 2) promote available prevention, intervention, and
treatment resources; and 3) clarify the responsibilities of professionals and
citizenry on reporting, and inform them where and to whom abuse/neglect should
be reported.

Abstract: Meeting with [Ross] Swimmer and [Earl] Barlow, July 12, 1988—1:00
p.m., Minneapolis, Minnesota
Barlow: Mr. Swimmer again, will take this spot and answer.
Swimmer: I spent an hour with you-all already, so now you just get
thirty more minutes.
Lawrence: We came somewhat prepared, Mr. Swimmer. We’ve got a little agenda, but actually
there’s mainly one issue that we want to discuss. I think some of the things we discussed this morning already,
regarding our constitution, the tribal constitutions, and what status we have
with the BIA; and what the Bureau can do to enforce through the constitutions,
enforce the tribal council in this regard.
And, there’s some important issues involved in civil rights, and we
understand that form what we heard this morning that you have little to do to
enforce the tribe to comply with the constitution. Is that what we heard this morning?
Swimmer: That’s right. Compliance
with the tribal constitution is within the authority of the tribal government,
and the process that you have available.
That constitution does not bind the federal government, it binds the
people to the tribe. And, whatever
process there is, whether it’s court, uh, administrative process, or wherever
you go, to get a resolution out of this, within that constitution. It should provide you with a direction, to
go back to the court, to go back to the tribal government, to go someplace
else.
Lawrence: Well, we tried that already.
It doesn’t work on our reservation.
You’re probably aware of that.
Swimmer: I know you’ve tried and did not get satisfaction. I don’t know that it doesn’t work.
Lawrence: I have a question of information on the tribal government. We’ve questioned the BIA, we’ve sued in
federal court, we’ve got denied tribal ... [sound of paper rustling] transfer
payments from the general fund ...
Swimmer: Is there a process in your constitution for recall?
Lawrence: Yes, there is, but we’ve already went through recall, and had
the petition denied by the BIA. We had
thirteen or fourteen hundred signatures, so I think that we’ve tried every
measure that there was available to us.
Barlow: I’ll have to have my memory refreshed. When was that?
Cook: Here’s one that we got from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
saying that we had a valid petition, and then it was never acted upon, it was
thrown in the wastepaper basket.
Barlow: You’ve got to get him in there.
Cook: I already asked him. And
here’s what happened to our head Hereditary Chief: once he ran against Roger,
he was fired. Hereditary Chief, imagine
that.
[Long silence]
Lawrence: I guess I’d like to know, Mr. Secretary, on what basis do you
recognize Indian tribes, then. I guess
is what you’ve got me confused. Is it a
contractual basis, is it a contract, the constitution that is signed by the
Assistant Secretary.
Barlow: No.
Swimmer: No! No. No contractual
basis. Indian tribes are recognized
primarily through the treaties that were signed, and through acts of Congress
that have come down, and through court decisions. They are freestanding, self-governing entities. Uh, that is, state or federal laws. They are subject only to the laws of the
federal government, generally speaking, and they retain the same powers and
authorities that they have had from time immemorial. They are not set up by us, they are not organized by us...
Cook: What!
Swimmer: We don’t have any responsibility for them.
Lussier: That gets me mad, that thing.
Lawrence: The Indian Reorganization Act wasn’t imposed on the tribes?
Swimmer: The Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) was a method of organizing
tribal government. About a third of the
tribes were organized under IRS’s, and the rest of them—are not.
Barlow: But the Bureau personnel put the constitutions together. I was a superintendent before the ...
Swimmer: Bureau personnel, uh, provided drafts of constitutions,
provided drafts of, uh, provisions in those constitutions, and at one time I
think played a very big role in how those constitutions would come about. And that’s a role which I disavow today, and
I think that we should be out of it. I
would like to take us completely out of having anything to do with tribal
constitutions.
Cook: Could we give you background on our tribal constitution?
Swimmer: Well, I think you just did.
Cook: WE ... I think I told you this morning that our constitution was
placed on the reservation by fraud, by the federal government, think we have a
letter from the Commissioner to the Secretary of the Interior stating that the
people are fierce in Red Lake against organizing under the Indian
Reorganization Act (IRA), ... they told them, “dare not let the people know
that they are approving this document.”
Here’s a copy of the actual vote to accept the IRA, 434 people. And then, when we ask to even amend our
constitution, this is what we get! The
government lied to the people saying that they were revising our Chief’s
council when in fact they were doing away with the Chiefs Council and putting
an Indian Reorganization Act constitution on our reservation by fraud! The people had no input other than Robinson,
and two other people came to the reservation, walked into the Chief’s meeting,
and said, “you have no more government.”
And since that day, we have had nothing but a dictatorship form of
government on the Reservation by Roger Jourdain—hand-picked by the Bureau to do
us in.
Barlow: According to this, you had 456 people cast ballots, 443 voted in
favor of the constitution.
Cook: And then, we have a thousand and thirty-six signatures asking to
amend the constitution, and it was thrown in the wastepaper basket.
Swimmer: Well, I don’t know.
What do you want?
[Inaudible]
... other than remedy in the courts ...
Cook: What can the Department of the Interior do for the Red Lake Band
of Chippewa Indians—we have no government.
Swimmer: Well, we don’t see it that way.
Cook: Well, you’re recognizing eleven people that are not representing
anybody but themselves.
Swimmer: They wouldn’t be recognized if they weren’t elected, duly
elected ...
Cook: By fraud!
Swimmer: Well, I know.
Lawrence: How were they elected pursuant to what? If we don’t recognize their constitution as
having efficacy.
Swimmer: It does. The
constitution is your constitution.
Lawrence: And, they can violate it whenever they choose, the council ...
Swimmer: You’ve got provisions in the constitution, that ...
Lawrence: What is the process for amending the constitution?
[Silence]
Lussier: Superintendent?
Swimmer: By referendum and recall.
Lawrence: And they can violate it whenever they choose, the council and
Jourdain.
Swimmer: Well, it’s in there.
Cook: Is it? Where is it? All it says, “there shall be a, uh, deal for
referendum and recall,” but they haven’t done that—there ain’t no tribal
ordinance allowing that.
Swimmer: Upon receipt of a petition with twenty-five percent of the
eligible voters.
Cook: Well, there it is.
Swimmer: ... and the affirmative
vote of eight members of the tribal council, any enacted or proposed resolution
or ordinance shall be submitted to a referendum of the eligible voters.
Cook: Well, there it is—we had one thousand thirty-six signatures, and
they signatures were validated by [the] FBI.
Morris Babbey sent a letter to Roger saying he was mandated by the
constitution to hold this election—where is it? What do we do? Were do we
go? To Roger’s appointed court officials,
where if they hear our case, they would be fired the next day?
Swimmer: Well, at this time that is the only place that you have to go.
Lussier: Well, I’m only going to say one thing. I ain’t going to say very much, now. My opinion is, my friend, that you are
letting me down. Look at the names on
that constitution.

Abstract: Transcript of Meeting with Swimmer and Barlow continued from last
week. July 12, 1988--1:00 p.m. --Minneapolis, Minnesota
Swimmer: I don’t run your tribal government, and I’m not going to run
your tribal government.
Lussier: That isn’t the point.
Swimmer: And, I’m not going to implement your constitution. You have to implement your
constitution.
Lawrence: We did!
Swimmer: Now, you tell me that you don’t want to go to court, or when
you do something on your constitution, they ignore it.
Lawrence: What court do we go to?
Where do we go? It’s just as
simple as that.
Cook: What court? We’ll go to
court. Which court?
Swimmer: Well, I presume that the C.F.R. Court, unless you have other
...
Lawrence: You know, you just contracted it out to Roger. In spite of all these violations of civil
rights, that’s the tribal court.
Swimmer: Yes, it’s tribal court.
Lawrence: So, where do we take it?
Swimmer: Tribal court.
Lawrence: But, the tribal court said, “you don’t bring it in here.”
Cook: That they have no authority over our constitution. We got that in writing. Where do we go?
Swimmer: That’s it. Those are
your remedies. You don’t have any
remedies, is what you’re saying to me.
[Laughter]
Lawrence: OK.
Swimmer: That’s right.
Lawrence: So, we can do nothing about it.
Swimmer: That’s right.
Lawrence: So, what was the purpose of the Constitution that was signed
by the Superintendent, or Area Director, or whoever ...
Swimmer: Simply acknowledging that the Tribe has a constitution.
Cook: Where would you go to authorize to overthrow our government, that
is not working?
Swimmer: Where would I go?
Cook: Yeah, what would you do?
Swimmer: If you engage in civil disobedience, you’d go to FBI, or the
tribal court, or to, uh, whoever’s the police on the reservation.
Lawrence: Well, OK, I guess we’ve been through the process. But, if you can’t do anything, why don’t you
support us, and introduce some legislation in the Congress so that something
can be done. We have a resolution here.
Swimmer: You have the absolute right to introduce, to go to Congress to
do whatever you want to do.
Lawrence: Well, why don’t you support us?
Swimmer: No.
Cook: Why not?
Swimmer: I will not support one side against the other.
Cook: That’s what you’re doing, now.
Swimmer: No. You’re telling me that the present government was elected
by an overwhelming majority of the people, and you’re asking me to disavow that
...
Cook: Roger was elected by—he won by ten votes.
Swimmer: Well, then by ten votes.
Well, you’re asking me to ignore those ten people, and support you ten
people.
Lawrence: OK, but, we have a compact, or a contract with the tribal
government. We’re saying, here’s the
authorities we give you in this constitution.
They’re ignoring many of them.
They don’t release financial statements. They don’t release minutes of the meeting. They won’t let us attend meetings. They
don’t ...
Swimmer: So, what would you propose that I could do?
Cook: Where would we take the constitution?
Lawrence: Either tell the tribe to comply with the constitution, or
don’t contract with them.
Cook: Withdraw recognition ...
Lussier: You don’t even need to do that. All you need to do is say, “we don’t want to contract with you
until you do [comply with the constitution].
Until you do, we’ll deliver the services ourselves. You have the delivery system. This is what this resolution talks about,
and we’re going to try ...
Swimmer: We have an act of Congress that says that this is not grounds
for, uh, disapproving a constitution.
Cook: Where would we take you and the Secretary of the Interior to
court?
Swimmer: The secretary does not provide grounds ...
Lawrence: So, there’s procedures in there that, you’ve got to comply
with community support, and we can show a lot of community support for the
provision of services ...
Swimmer: All that means is that we have to let them know that they’re
not complying with it, but that doesn’t give us grounds to withdraw contracts.
Lawrence: In view of the fact that they have denied civil rights, and
you still went ahead and approved contracts with them, and
Swimmer: I don’t know that they denied civil rights.
Lawrence: We have said things, and there have been court cases, and all
kinds of things that ...
Swimmer: I’m not a judge, and I’m not hearing the other side of
this. You know, you don’t have Roger
sitting at the table here, telling me all of the good things that he has done.
Lawrence: He could have come down.
We didn’t exclude him.
Swimmer: Well, I’m just telling you that I’m not in a position to be a
hearing officer, to determine whether you’re right, or he’s right. I’m saying that you have a process to go
through, to do that.
Lawrence: OK, you are saying that you will not support us on this
legislation. Are you going to go
against ...
Swimmer: I don’t know. I haven’t
seen the legislation, I don’t know what you’re politicking. If this is legislation against your current
tribal government, no!
Lawrence: This is legislation not to contract with them on F.Y.’89 until
they comply with the constitution.
Swimmer: No, I won’t support that, any more than I would support ...
Lussier: Stop all the money, stop all the money, boys! No pay ...
Swimmer: But, that’s just a backing away of the bureau. And then when you take over, I’d stop all of
the money from you.
Lawrence: No, because we will comply with the constitution.
Swimmer: But, why would we want to do that?
Lawrence: Because all we want is someone to enforce the constitution. We can’t enforce it.
Swimmer: So, you want me to enforce the constitution by trying to cut
off the right of the tribe to contract with the Bureau.
Cook: Yeah.
Swimmer: Well, what happens in the next election? Do you want me to do the same thing to the
next people?
Lawrence: Well, if they violate the constitution, yeah.
Swimmer: So, every time the constitution gets violated, I withdraw the
money.
Lawrence: So, we have some means of having it enforced.
Swimmer: But, I get to determine whether it’s been violated, or do you
get to determine ...
Lawrence: No, the court will do
it, but give us a ...
Swimmer: So, but you say, the court’s no good—you don’t want to use the
court.
Lawrence: The Tribal Court’s no good ...
Swimmer: Well, what court would be good?
Lawrence: We’ll go to Federal curt.
Swimmer: As long as you get the right decision—it would be a good court?
Lawrence: You haven’t given us a right decision. You haven’t even given us access to Federal
court, except for habeas corpus ...
Swimmer: Well, that’s exactly what we’re attempting to do, and that’s
the only remedy that we can offer to you, and I’m not sure that congress will
go along with that remedy.
Lawrence: Well, we’re going to
try it, whether you help us or not.
Swimmer: That’s fine. Our
position is, that you should have a forum, to be able to go to, and to redress
a grievance on civil rights. And if the
tribal court is unable to provide that forum, we are proposing legislation to
allow you to go to federal court.
Cook: Well, in the meantime, ...
Swimmer: And, I don’t think that you can ask for more than that.
Cook: In the meantime, what do we do?
Swimmer: In the meantime, there isn’t a thing that you can ask for. In the meantime, you do what every other
tribe does, and that’s just wait.
Lussier: Wait, wait forever, is that it?
Swimmer: That’s right. We don’t
have any other tools available to us, to intervene in this tribe, and make
anybody do anything.
Lussier: But two million dollars is coming into Red Lake through the
BIA, and then—you don’t have control of the money that they get?
Cook: How did Robinson and an three-man team come in and do away with
our Chiefs council, tell me that.
Swimmer: I don’t know.
Cook: Well—I mean, how? You
should know.
Blake: What you’re saying, then, is Congress is responsible for this
whole mess, the United States Congress.
Swimmer: What mess?
Blake: This mess that we’ve got here.
Swimmer: Red Lake’s mess?
Blake: This 90% unemployment ...
Swimmer: Red Lake is responsible for your mess.

Alcohol and Acetaldehyde Metabolism in Caucasians, Chinese and Amerinds. Cmaj. 115(9), 851-855.
Notes: Source: University of Minnesota BioMed electronic databases, Fall 1999
search
Abstract: Ethanol (0.4 to 0.8 g/kg in 30 minutes) was given by mouth to 102
healthy young volunteers (37 Caucasian men, 21 Caucasian women, 20 Chinese men
and 24 Ojibwa men). Venous blood concentrations of ethanol and acetaldehyde 60,
90, 120 and 150 minutes after the end of drinking were measured by gas
chromatography. The calculated rates of ethanol metabolism in the Caucasian men
and women did not differ, but the overall group means for subgroups of
Caucasians (103.6 mg/kg-h), Chinese (136.6 mg/kg-h) and Ojibwa (182.7 mg/kg-h)
with decreasing postabsorption values differed significantly from each other.
Mean acetaldehyde values paralleled the rates of ethanol metabolism: Ojibwa,
14.6 mug/ml; Chinese, 10.0 mug/ml; and Caucasians, 9.4 mug/ml. The high rate of
ethanol metabolism in Amerind subjects differs from previous findings. Habitual
level of alcohol consumption, proportion of body fat and genetic factors appear
to account for most of the group differences.

health. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Queens University at Kingston
(Canada).
Abstract: The predictions between preferred acculturation strategies, the
discrepancy between actual and desired acculturation strategies, perceived
discrimination and multicultural ideology with mental and physical health
proposed that each of these predictor variables would be independently
associated with the two criterion variables. Fifty-five Ojibwa youth from
northern Ontario participated in the following study. The fundamental
hypothesis that the Integration strategy would be positively related to
physical and mental health status while the Assimilation, Separation and
Marginalization strategies would be negatively related to the criterion
variables was partly supported, though not always in the direction predicted,
for mental health status only. The second hypothesis that the discrepancy score
between actual and desired acculturation strategies would be negatively
associated with physical and mental health was not tested due to limited range
restriction of the predictor variable. The third hypothesis that perceived
discrimination would be negatively related to mental and physical health status
was supported for mental health status only. The fourth hypothesis that
multicultural ideology would be positively related to mental and physical
health status was not supported. The physical health status scale was found to
have poor internal consistency resulting in it being eliminated from all
further analyses. Interpretations of the findings for all hypotheses are
presented, as are limitations to the present study and directions for future
research.

C. L. The Nature of Health Promotion Within an Ojibwe Culture: an
Ethnographic Study. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Wayne State
University.
Notes: Source: Biomed (Cinahl) electronic database, Fall 1999 search.
Abstract: The purpose of this ethnographic study was to describe, from the
perspective of the Ojibwe people of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the nature
of health promotion. The ethnographic methods of participant-observation and
in-depth interviewing were employed to accomplish the purpose. Eleven key
informants and twenty-seven general informants contributed data for this study.
An eleven-question inquiry guide was used to structure the interviews. Data
were collected over a three-year period between April 1990 and August 1993. The
study was conceptualized within the health-world view framework developed by
this researcher. A health-world view was defined as the cognitive orientation
or way the culture looks at health and well-being, illness and aspects of
death. Data were analyzed using Leininger's phases of analysis for qualitative
data. Six major themes were abstracted from the data. They were: (1) Health is
promoted through balance of all aspects of being. (2) Health is promoted by
'Living the Good Life.' (3) Health is promoted by 'Living the Indian Way.' (4)
Health is promoted by 'Doing things the right way.' (5) Health is influenced by
the behavior of others. (6) The health of human beings is promoted as the
health of the earth is promoted. These findings indicate that the health-world
view of the Ojibwe people reflected the belief that health promotion was a
dynamic concept and that individual movement within the context of total life
pattern was a determinant of health promotion outcomes.

J. K. (1993). Native conceptions of giftedness. Unpublished doctoral
dissertation, Lakehead University (Canada).
Abstract: This study seeks to determine the relevance of 'giftedness' in an
isolated north-western Ontario Ojibway community and school. Specifically,
Renzulli's (1986) model of 'giftedness' is examined. This study begins with the
community as the central element in its design. Qualitative research methods
are used and include participant-observation, informally structured interviews,
and document analysis. Elders, parents, teachers, and students, represent the
participants. Data-collection took place during two, two-week visits to the
site. Data analysis and interpretation was ongoing throughout the research
process. The findings suggest that 'giftedness' is a Euro-Western construct
which is irrelevant and even in conflict with the norms of Sweetgrass community
and school. This study does not recommend the use of the Renzulli (1986) model
for 'giftedness' in Sweetgrass, or in any focus for Native education which
reflects the beliefs and perceptions of the participants in this community.
Instead, culturally relevant enrichment strategies need to be developed and
integrated throughout all aspects of curricula.

J. W. (1999). Carey Mission: Protestant missionaries and Native Americans on
the Indiana-Michigan frontier. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Indiana
University.
Abstract: This study examines the interaction of Native Americans and
Protestant missionaries at Carey Mission on the Indiana-Michigan frontier. It
utilizes letters, diaries and reports of Baptist and Catholic missionaries, traders,
government officials, white settlers, mission board members, Indian Agents, and
others. More importantly, since we cannot appreciate and understand Native
Americans' motivations and actions
without giving them a“voice,” letters and articles written by former Carey
students are utilized to present a fuller account of Carey Mission. This study shows that Baptist missionaries
experienced difficulties in attempting to “civilize” the Native American with
whom they interacted. In particular, the Baptists attempted to have Indians
cross the gulf between “savagery” and “civilization” by becoming settled
farmers, with a few becoming constables, magistrates, teachers and missionaries
to other Native Americans. Financial, labor, political and social problems plagued
the mission throughout its ten-year history. Significantly, many Native
Americans remembered the work of Jesuit
missionaries, and this circumstance made it difficult for Baptist missionaries
to “convert” those who favored the “black robes.” However, some students and
neighboring Native Americans accepted the Baptist path to acculturation and
Christianity. The careers of former students who went to Kansas are examined to
help understand the results of the mission's educational and religious program.
The study reveals that some former Indian students used their experience at
Carey Mission to prosper in Kansas. Some used their education to start
businesses and even enter the white culture's land speculation craze. Others
continued to preach Christianity to other Native Americans and work for the
federal government. Although Carey Mission functioned for only ten years, it
did change the lives of both teachers and many of the students who were
associated or enrolled at the institution.

T. G. (1999). It's alive? Grammatical animacy in Russian, Polish and Czech.
Unpublished doctoral dissertation, University of Washington.
Abstract: In all Slavic languages which retain nominal inflection, animacy is
expressed in -stem masculine singular nouns by means of a syncretism between
the ACC and GEN cases, the so-called GEN-ACC case. However, in these languages
there are nouns which take the GEN-ACC case although they denote nonliving
objects. While this is a small, nonproductive class of nouns in Russian, in the
West Slavic languages, especially Polish and Czech, this is a much larger,
productive class. This phenomenon will be referred to as grammatical animacy,
based on the term grammatical gender, which likewise is mostly unpredictable
from extralinguistic features. The spread of the GEN-ACC case to semantically
inanimate nouns is slowly causing the demise of animacy as a natural
subgender-based on transparent extralinguistic features--to a grammatical
gender where animacy is becoming less predictable. In Polish grammatically
animatenouns fall into seemingly unrelated categories, such as certain types of
fruit and vegetables, mushrooms, playing cards and chess pieces, games, dances,
monetary units, car models, tobacco and alcohol products, physical contact,
body parts, dreaded diseases, skin afflictions, nursery language, certain set
expressions, reified mental states, brand-name articles and appliances, etc.
(Oscar Swan 1988). Although most research on this phenomenon has been conducted
for Polish, my research (1996-98) exhibits a remarkably similar situation in
all the West Slavic languages, especially in Czech. I found and tested for
actual usage over 400 grammatically animatenouns in Polish and over 200 such
nouns in Czech. The categories of grammatically animatenouns in Czech are very
similar to those of Polish. A similar phenomenon exists in some Native American
languages, especially those of the Algonquian family, such as Ojibwa.
Grammatical animacy is a relatively new phenomenon whose origins are not
entirely clear because it is most prevalent in the spoken language and rarely
mentioned in grammars and dictionaries. The scant attention paid to this
linguistic change has consisted primarily of fairly conservative word lists
with little or no attempt to explain its origin, its present range, or its
future. I attempt to uncover the origins of grammatical animacy through both
historical and synchronic investigation. The best synchronic analysis to date
for this phenomenon is provided by Laura Janda (1996). Based on Mark Johnson's
(1987) FIGURE/GROUND distinction, Janda defines grammatically animate nouns as
belonging to the category of FIGURE. However, not all FIGURES are predictably
grammatically animateso Janda's analysis must be constrained. Based on
Stanislaw Westfal (1956), Johnson, and Janda, I have developed a cognitive
analysis which explains and unites almost all categories of grammatically animate
nouns and predicts with a reasonable degree of accuracy which FIGURES take a
GEN-ACC. The term Personal Space Nouns will be introduced. Personal Space Nouns
represent concrete, three-dimensional objects
(FIGURES) which are often directly in front of, or come in direct
contact with our faces or bodies. Such nouns tend to be grammatically animate,
especially when they exhibit a heightened degree of salience or when they are
perceived as possessing some element of power or organic quality. The term Personal
Space Nouns unites most of the categories listed above. Exceptions are
accounted for primarily on the basis of androzoocentrism. (Abstract shortened

Abstract: We reviewed prenatal records of Chippewa women residing on two
Minnesota reservations to define the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus
(GDM) and to describe the screening and diagnosis practices for GDM according
to National Diabetes Data Group Criteria. Of the 554 pregnancies included in
the study, six (1%) involved women with preexisting diabetes mellitus and 32
(5.8%) with GDM. In 24 (4.3%) of the pregnancies, the women were misclassified
as having GDM. Women completed screening and/or testing during 450 (82%) of the
pregnancies-by 32 weeks gestation for 401 (73%). This is of 548 pregnancies
that could potentially have involved GDM. Women with incomplete screening
and/or testing were older and of higher parity than those who completed
negative screening and/or testing (p<0.05). Chippewa Indian women in
northern Minnesota experienced GDM at rates higher than most other U.S.
populations. Screening rates for GDM were high, but some high-risk women were
not screened. Programs targeting high-risk women for timely and accurate
diagnosis of GDM are needed in this primary care setting. (Abstract by: Author)

Abstract: OBJECTIVE--To determine the prevalence and incidence of diabetes, and
the incidence of major diabetic complications, in a Chippewa Indian population.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS--The format was a longitudinal population study
that used active community and health center-based surveillance. The setting
was a North American Indian reservation community of 4075 residents, served by
an IHS clinic from 1986 to 1988. Patients were American Indians of Chippewa
descent living on or near the Red Lake Reservation. RESULTS--Midway through the
study, 346 people had been diagnosed with diabetes, which yielded an age- and
sex-adjusted point prevalence of 148/1000 population. The adjusted rate for
individuals > or = 25 yr of age was 252/1000 population, 3.82 times the U.S.
rate (CI 2.95-4.93). Some 97 new cases of diabetes were identified for an age-
and sex-adjusted average annual incidence of 17/1000 population. The incidence
of hospitalization for LEA was 26/1000 diabetic person-yr, 4.3 times the 1978
U.S. rate (95% CI 2.8-6.8). Twelve individuals developed proliferative
retinopathy, for an incidence of 12/1000 diabetic person-yr. Newly diagnosed
ESRD incidence was 6/1000 diabetic person-yr. Twenty-three acute myocardial
infarctions were observed, yielding an incidence of 22/1000 diabetic person-yr.
CONCLUSIONS--Diabetes and its complications are prevalent in this Chippewa
population, and further surveillance is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of
prevention efforts. (Abstract by:

L. W. (1991). Culture change and continuity: ethnohistoric analysis of
Ojibwa and Ottawa adjustment to the prairies (Indians). Unpublished
doctoral dissertation, University of Kansas.
Abstract: Anthropologists and historians have generally recognized two forms of
cultural development among Plains Indians societies. The development of
historic bison-hunting nomads has been interpreted as dramatic change to
equestrian pastoralism. Village horticulturalists, on the other hand,
maintained a stable cultural tradition throughout late prehistoric and historic
times. The 'Plains Ojibwa' have most often been viewed as nomadic pastoralists
on the basis of ethnographic data. However, ethnohistoric analysis of the
initial Ojibwa and Ottawa occupation of the northeastern prairies does not
support this interpretation. Reconstruction and comparison of subsistence
patterns between traditional forest-lake Ojibwa and the prairie Ojibwa and
Ottawa indicate that major adaptive changes were not associated with their
migration. Likewise, intrasocietal relations, involving socioeconomic and
sociopolitical organization were not altered from that of the traditional
forager band organization. During this initial period of adjustment to the
prairies, trade relations with Euroamericans and animosities with the Dakota
continued. Meanwhile, alliances with the neighboring Plains Cree and Assiniboin
were strengthened and contact with metis populations increased. While these
intercultural relations may have stimulated some change, this appears to have
been minimal during the initial period of prairie occupation (ca. 1780-1830).
Adjustments within the cultural system of these migrants served to maintain a
nomadic foraging existence in a grassland environment. Unlike historic
pastoralists on the plains the Ojibwa and Ottawa did not undergo evolutionary
adaptation to a new level of cultural development.

Abstract: Le site de l'ancienne mission
des Jesuites a Sillery a connu une occupation intensive sur une periode de plus
de trois cents ans. De plus, bien avant l'arrivee des Europeens, les
Amerindiens frequentaient deja le
secteur. Le fort potentiel archeologique de ce site a donc donne lieu a de
nombreuses interventions archeologiques. Ces recherches ont permis de mettre au
jour divers elements architecturaux relies a la periode missionnaire du site
ainsi que des structures qui sont anterieures, contemporaines ou posterieures a
la maison des Jesuites qui date du debut du XVIIIme siecle. La majorite des
artefacts recoltes ne peut etre associee a un niveau d'occupation precis. De
plus, une partie importante de la collection a ete egaree. Elle est
majoritairement constituee d'artefacts du XIXme siecle mais contient aussi
quelques temoins des XVIIme et XVIIIme siecles et une bonne quantite
d'artefacts du XXme siecle. Par l'analyse et la synthese des donnees
archeologiques du site de l'ancienne mission des Jesuites, nous avons voulu
faire le point sur les resultats obtenus pour permettre une meilleure gestion
des acquis et suggerer de nouveaux champs de recherche.

Northwestern State University of Louisiana.
Abstract: Purpose of the Study. The purpose of the experiment was to
investigate the change in attitudes of prospective teachers when presented
information by videotape about the Blackfoot and Ojibwa Indians and the
maintenance of change over time. Procedure. A longitudinal pretest, posttest,
retention test time design was used in the experiment with three randomly
assigned groups. During the first week of classes of the 1979 fall term the
students in secondary teaching methods classes were administered the Minority
Attitude Inventory. The students who completed the measurement were then
randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. Videotapes were shown to
the subjects six weeks after the pretest. Group I saw a Blackfoot documentary
videotape; Group II saw a videotaped interview of an Ojibwa Indian; and Group
III saw both videotapes. Of the initial 102 subjects only sixty-eight completed
the treatment phase of the experiment. Immediately after the videotape
presentations the subjects were again administered the Minority Attitude
Inventory. After a period of five weeks the subjects were requested to complete
the instrument for the third time. The Minority Attitude Inventory was
developed specifically for this field experiment by the researcher and major
professor utilizing the 'Attitude Pie' concept. The analysis of the data from
the pies was a two-way analysis of variance for seven of the nine hypotheses, a
one-way analysis of data and a t-test. Findings. (1) No significant difference
was found between the attitudes of Caucasian subjects and minority member
subjects toward minority cultures. (2) No significant difference was found
between pretest attitudes and posttest attitudes toward Native Americans. (3)
Significant difference above the .05 level of confidence was found between
pretest and posttest attitudes toward
Blackfoot and Ojibwa. (4) No significant difference was found between
positivity gains produced by a documentary videotape, a videotaped interview,
or both methods combined. (5) No significant difference was found between the
attitudes of males and females to male dominated material or female dominated
material. (6) Significant difference above the .05 level of confidence was
found between posttest and retention test attitudes toward Blackfoot but not
for Ojibwa. Conclusions. (1) Although the population was dominated by female
Caucasians, minority and Caucasian prospective teachers have the same attitudes
toward minority groups. (2) Information which conforms to stereotypes of
minority groups is more readily accepted than information contrary to minority
group stereotypes. (3) A variety of information both non-stereotypic and
stereotypic decreases the group attitude variance toward minorities. (4)
Although some immediate increase in positivity is realized after the
introduction of information about a minority, attitude soon returns to the original
level. (5) The gender of the primary subjects in a visual presentation of
minority information does not affect the attitudes of male and female
prospective teachers. (6) The format of the videotape presentation does not
affect the attitudes of prospective teachers.

Abstract: Much has been written about intimate violence and American Indians,
but little empirical data are available. This study investigated the prevalence
and characteristics of intimate violence among 104 members of a Southwestern
American Indian tribe. A semistructured psychiatric interview and a measure of
intimate violence were administered to 104 tribal community members from an
overall study sample of 582. Both men and women reported high rates of lifetime
(91%) and recent (31%) intimate violence; much of this behavior was
interactive. However, female victims were more likely to require medical
attention because of sustained injuries and to have their children involved
with the violence than were male victims. For women in this study, forced sex
was the only incident significantly associated with lifetime affective
disorders and lifetime posttraumatic stress disorder. In this Southwestern
American Indian community, intimate violence appears to be another variable in
an environmental context that includes alcoholism, other psychiatric disorders,
and traumatic events. (Abstract by:
