About


Welcome to our class blog!

All blog posts have been written by students of Anthropology 320 at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). Anthropology 320, or Indians of North America, focuses on Native North American cultures as they existed traditionally, before European contact, and as they survive today in contemporary 21st century America.

In this course, students were challenged to critically examine contemporary issues that affect Native people. This blog offers a medium for students to share the outcomes of their research with the public, to provide an anthropological perspective on current affairs, and hopefully focus the public's attention on issues that need to be discussed and addressed.

As you explore the posts, please feel free to ask questions or leave comments.


"Among the most basic dimensions of human experience is
that close association of heart and mind, often subdued yet potentially overwhelming,
that is known as sense of place."

The Continuum of Hawaiian Sovereignty

  Written by: Natalie Wilson Photo description: “In August 2019,  the Makaliʻi ’Ohana—based on Hawaiʻi island but with ties around the world—brought offerings and sung songs in honor of the Mauna and all who stand to protect her.” Photo credit: Kapulei Flores.

The Lost Autonomy of the Mapuche Peoples

Image
Written by: Summer Lake After decades of war, assimilation tactics, and terrorism towards the Mapuche peoples of South America, they have finally been able to take legal action against the governments of Chile and Argentina. About 1.5 million Mapuches live in Chile, and 200,000 in Argentina (Youkee. 2019). This year, representatives of the “Mapuche people have petitioned the international criminal court (ICC) to take action against the governments of Chile and Argentina for acts of genocide and crimes against humanity” (Youkee. 2019). The representative leading the discussion, Lonko Juana Calfunao, was quoted saying “the Chilean army with the complicity of the Catholic church, invaded our territory, burned our [homes], killing our people and drowning babies in the rivers” (Youkee. 2019). This is a very serious issue, and even a quick Google search of “Mapuche Chile Conflict” immediately shows headlines of police brutality, injured citizens, and legal battles.   The Map...

The Land Grab of Bears Ear National Monument

Image
Author : Sarah A. Bears Ears National Monument is an area located in southeastern Utah which is sacred to at least five Native Tribes; the Hopi, Navajo, Uintah and Ouray Ute, Ute Mountain Ute and the Pueblo of Zuni. Former President Obama made it a National Monument in 2016 to protect the site, as National Monuments are lands that are protected from development by law. Each monument has its own specific restrictions, however. For Bears Ears, federal rules forbid new mining and drilling, but allows the interior department to continue to issue things such as cattle grazing leases. When Obama issued it as a National Monument, the acreage was cut down from 1.9 million acres to 1.35 million acres as a compromise that his supporters said was needed to protect 100,000 objects of archaeological significance, including grave sites, ceremonial grounds, ancient cliff dwellings, as well as their surrounding ecosystem. This acreage cut however, is not nearly as bad as the cut that current pre...
