Alaska Native Policy in the Twentieth Century

Alaska Native Policy in the Twentieth Century

This book explores the application of federal Indian policy to Alaska Natives in the 20th century a process driven by the federal government's desire to acquire Indian land. Twentieth century Indian policy as applied in Alaska has oscillated between encouraging the privatization of land and assimilation of Native Alaskans into the dominant society and allowing for Native autonomy and self-government. The Alaska Reorganization Act of 1936 better known as the Alaska Native New Deal promoted Native self-government through constitutions and native self-sufficiency through corporations within geographic limits of designated reservations. In Alaska the federal government's termination policy extended state jurisdiction over Native peoples after World War Two. A new policy of self-determination was initiated by the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971. With this act 40 million acres were conveyed to newly created Native corporations. Alaska Natives would achieve self-determination by participation in corporate decisions. This history of the legislation and implementation of federal Indian policy in Alaska explores the tensions and reversals expressed through successive legislative acts and focuses upon the implications of this policy for Native Alaskans. | Alaska Native Policy in the Twentieth Century

The Routledge Introduction to Native American Literature

The Routledge Introduction to Native American Literature

This Introduction makes available for both student instructor and affcianado a refined set of tools for decolonizing our approaches prior to entering the unfamiliar landscape of Native American literatures. This book will introduce indigenous perspectives and traditions as articulated by indigenous authors whose voices have been a vital if often overlooked component of the American dialogue for more than 400 years. Paramount to this consideration of Native-centered reading is the understanding that literature was not something bestowed upon Native peoples by the settler culture either through benevolent interventions or violent programs of forced assimilation. Native literature precedes colonization and Native stories and traditions have their roots in both the precolonized and the decolonizing worlds. As this far-reaching survey of Native literary contributions will demostrate almost without fail when indigenous writers elected to enter into the world of western letters they did so with the intention of maintaining indigenous culture and community. Writing was and always remains a strategy for survival. | The Routledge Introduction to Native American Literature

Native American Roots Relationality and Indigenous Regeneration Under Empire 1770–1859

Native American Roots Relationality and Indigenous Regeneration Under Empire 1770–1859

Native American Roots: Relationality and Indigenous Regeneration Under Empire 1770–1859 explores the development of modern Indigenous identities within the settler colonial context of the early United States. With an aggressively expanding United States that sought to displace Native peoples the very foundations of Indigeneity were endangered by the disruption of Native connections to the land. This volume describes how Natives embedded conceptualizations integral to Indigenous ontologies into social and cultural institutions like racial ideologies black slaveholding and Christianity that they incorporated from the settler society. This process became one vital avenue through which various Native peoples were able to regenerate Indigeneity within environments dominated by a settler society. The author offers case studies of four different tribes to illustrate how Native thought processes not just cultural and political processes helped Natives redefine the parameters of Indigeneity. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of early American history indigenous and ethnic studies American historiography and anthropology. | Native American Roots Relationality and Indigenous Regeneration Under Empire 1770–1859

Beyond Access Indigenizing Programs for Native American Student Success

Beyond Access Indigenizing Programs for Native American Student Success

This book argues that two principal factors are inhibiting Native students from transitioning from school to college and from succeeding in their post-secondary studies. It presents models and examples of pathways to success that align with Native American students’ aspirations and cultural values. Many attend schools that are poorly resourced where they are often discouraged from aspiring to college. Many are alienated from the educational system by a lack of culturally appropriate and meaningful environment or support systems that reflect Indigenous values of community sharing honoring extended family giving-back to one’s community and respect for creation. The contributors to this book highlight Indigenized college access programs-meaning programs developed by not just for-the Indigenous community and are adapted or developed for the unique Indigenous populations they serve. Individual chapters cover a K-12 program to develop a Native college-going culture through community engagement; a “crash course” offered by a higher education institution to compensate for the lack of college counseling and academic advising at students’ schools; the role of tribal colleges and universities; the recruitment and retention of Native American students in STEM and nursing programs; financial aid; educational leadership programs to prepare Native principals superintendents and other school leaders; and finally data regarding Native American college students with disabilities. The chapters are interspersed with narratives from current Indigenous graduate students. This is an invaluable resource for student affairs practitioners and higher education administrators wanting to understand and serve their Indigenous students. | Beyond Access Indigenizing Programs for Native American Student Success

Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive

Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive

This book demystifies how Kubernetes networking actually works by walking through a simple but practical simulation that mirrors reality as closely as possible while skipping the gory details. Widespread adoption of container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes have spawned a whole field of industry products startups and academic research in the field of container networking typically termed as cloud-native networking. But what is cloud-native networking? What are the various pieces and how do they fit together? Over recent years most applications have been deployed on cloud infrastructure. Kubernetes has been the widely adopted orchestrator for these clouds. Application developers in most cases are unaware of the underlying plumbing in Kubernetes that holds their applications running as containers. Networking is an integral part of any Kubernetes environment and efficiently drives the various abstractions provided by it. Needless to say it greatly effects the performance of applications which in general have a humongous amount of inter-microservice communication. The impact is even more profound in multiple cloud environments. | Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive

All My Relations: Understanding the Experiences of Native Americans with Disabilities

All My Relations: Understanding the Experiences of Native Americans with Disabilities

Native Americans suffer disproportionately from many social and health disparities. High rates of poverty exposure to environmental toxins and various forms of violence all increase the risk of health problems including disabilities yet there is very little published scholarship concerning Native American experiences with disabilities. In collecting contributions on various aspects of disability in Native American populations in one volume this book seeks to redress this lack of attention. Writing about regions of the United States Canada and Australia and spanning a diverse range of settings from remote rural areas to reservations to college campuses the authors are attentive to the impact of specific environments on their inhabitants. Taking into account both physical and social environment and recognizing the importance of cultural context this book is a good starting point for anyone interested in developing a better understanding of the experience of Native peoples living with disabilities. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social Work in Disability & Rehabilitation. | All My Relations: Understanding the Experiences of Native Americans with Disabilities
