Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the social and cultural contours of citizenship and nationhood of Kahnawake Mohawks. The central question that I seek to answer is "What other narratives of nationhood and citizenship are there than those of membership in the American or Canadian states?" Mohawks and other Iroquois nations have long asserted their ideological, and in the case of some, economic independence from the governments of Canada and the United States. My multi-sited research illustrates that this historical assertion is more than rhetoric; it is also a practice or " praxis," as Moh

Abstract:

This thesis explores processes of self-representation in Indigenous media by analyzing the work of a weekly newspaper, The Eastern Door, of the Mohawk community of Kahnawake, Quebec (Canada). The thesis examines articulations of power in relations between State and Aboriginal communities, demonstrating the importance of such a medium for the conceptualization of Aboriginal Nation and construction of identity in the contemporary context. The Eastern Door is an important vehicle for communicating Mohawk identity and nationhood, a role it consciously plays, as part of its commitment to pol

Abstract:

The last in a long line of Mesoamerican cultures, the Aztecs massed in the metropolis of Tenochtitlan-Tlatelolco and neighboring cities in the Valley of Mexico, with bureaucracies and royal houses as cosmopolitan as those of their eventual conquerors, the Spaniards. In North America, however, tribal cultures developed organizations based not on the state, but on kin and family relations. The basis of this paper is a comparison of the values fostered by tribalism and those propounded by bureaucracy, whether Mexican or European or even Ming Chinese. The method employed is that of a series of six

Abstract:

The past is often used by political figures in the present in order to achieve political goals by manipulating a feeling of identity, based upon a shared history, among their followers. The extent to which a political leader may alter narratives of the past to meet his or her own needs is governed by certain constraints and laws of structure, as Appadurai and Sahlins have argued (Appadurai 1981; Sahlins 1985). However, the credibility of a leader is affected by such factors as how well that leader fills the cultural construct of a leader's role and adheres to the community's expectations. At K

Abstract:

This work comprises a collection of six short stories set in post-independence India and entitled Spectrum. The stories explore varied aspects of contemporary Indian society where, despite economic growth in the years after independence, the resulting prosperity continues to be unevenly distributed; poverty and deprivation are still the lot of many, and class and gender disparity appear as entrenched as ever. The stories encompass shifting points of view: most are constructed from the viewpoint of the 'insider', but the Indian panorama is also seen and experienced from the perspective of the '

Abstract:

This study assessed the diets of participants in the Kahnawake Schools Diabetes Prevention Project (KSDPP). Data were gathered from three cross-sectional surveys of students in grades four to six in the Mohawk community of Kahnawake. Single 24-hour recall interviews were conducted in 2002 (n = 151), 1998 (n = 153) and 1994 (n = 164). Mean number of servings of Vegetables and Fruits (3.6 per day), Milk Products (1.6 per day), and Meat and Alternatives (1.5 per day) were found to be below ranges recommended by Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating.

This is the first of three parts in the first of three planned novels, collectively called The Great Plains Trilogy, which takes place between 1841 and 1845.

Abstract:

The commitment to community shared by Native American authors such as N. Scott Momaday, James Welch, and Louise Erdrich is partially evinced by each author's readiness to inscribe in novel form the values and traditions of the tribal community or communities with which he/she is closely associated. Many students of the novel will attest to its pliant, sometimes transmutable nature; nevertheless, as this study attempts to make clear, there are some reasons why Native American authors should reconsider using the novel as a means to express their tribal communities' values and traditions.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of excess weight gain among children participating in the Kahnawake Schools Diabetes Prevention Project (KSDPP). Study objectives were addressed in a secondary analysis of data collected from 1994 to 2004. Mean BMI percentiles and relative weight values increased over time in repeat cross-sectional analyses. Participants followed longitudinally were split into two groups: (1) children gaining weight at ≤ the median value of weight for their age, sex and height (n=86); (2) children gaining > the median value (n=177). Therefore, two-thirds

Abstract:

This qualitative study comparing three separate English-language versions of a single Dakota cultural myth "Iktomi" presents a novel systematic approach for analyzing Native American folk tales to understand how stories function as tools of transmission of cultural information and knowledge. The method involved coding character traits according to type with regard to representation, ability, or attribute to ascertain patterns among the codes and elucidate character roles and relationships, reorganizing the coded traits into paired polarized correspondences to clarify relationships among traits
