Native American & Indigenous Studies English 1302 Research Synthesis Historical Context

The Sociological Ladder of Human Access Key Component: IDENTITY (Language, Culture) People need an IDENTITY to better access: KNOWLEDGE (Degrees) Without KNOWLEDGE there is no access to: WEALTH (Degrees) Without WEALTH there is no access to: POWER If you have no POWER there is no access to: HISTORY Without access to one’s own HISTORY: One cannot WRITE or RE-WRITE their HISTORY -> IDENTITY…

What is Ethnic Studies? What is NAIS? According to the University of California at Berkeley: Ethnic Studies is an interdisciplinary enterprise that starts from the assumption that race and racism have been, and continue to be, profoundly powerful social and cultural forces in American society and in modernity at large. Ethnic Studies includes understanding the previous components of “access” on the ladder, which extends to not only ethnic groups and nationalities but applies to gender as well. Ethnicity: the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition. "the interrelationship between gender, ethnicity, and class"

Social Considerations for Native People Understanding Cultural Genocide and its ties to Identity American Epidemics are Compounded: think Poverty, Unemployment, Substance Abuse, Domestic Abuse, Suicide/Depression, Obesity/Diabetes Average Life Span of Native Male in 2015: only 51 years old History of Removal, Reservation/Boarding School System, Sterilization Consider in your artist’s work all of these things and the positive and negative outcomes for all in the search for identity.

Populations of Indigenous People “A defining characteristic for an indigenous group is that it has preserved traditional ways of living, such as present or historical reliance upon subsistence- based production (based on pastoral, horticultural and/or hunting and gathering techniques), and a predominantly non-urbanized society. Not all indigenous groups share these characteristics. Indigenous societies may be either settled in a given locale/region or exhibit a nomadic lifestyle across a large territory, but are generally historically associated with a specific territory on which they depend. Indigenous societies are found in every inhabited climate zone and continent of the world.[2][4] Indigenous peoples are increasingly faced with threats to their sovereignty, environment, and access to natural resources. Examples of this can be the deforestation of tropical rainforests where many native tribe's subsistence lifestyles are threatened. Assimilative colonial policies resulted in ongoing issues related to aboriginal child protection.”
