Abstract:
In the 1950s, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) managed the Navajo Reservation's feral dog population by scheduling semi-annual “dog shoots.” After one gruesome dog shoot resulted in seventeen slaughtered dogs in Chinle, Arizona, community members pressed local BIA authorities to reform reservation dog control, an effort that pitted the interethnic community against an authoritarian form of settler-colonial governance. Because citizenship on the reservation—for Navajo and non-Navajo alike—was effectively rendered inferior to that of citizens outside the reservation, substantive changes to loc

Abstract:
AbstractClosely examining the experiences of mostly female Navajo students, this article demonstrates that the Intermountain Indian School played a pivotal role in carrying out postwar Indian Policy. Like Progressive Era Indian boarding schools, its gendered curriculum prepared students to assimilate as low-status workers into American society and move away from their reservation communities. However, beginning with the first graduating class, Navajo students took advantage of the training but did not necessarily conform to policy makers’ expectations.

The purpose of this study was to Investigate client factors related to the success or failure of American Indians in the Navajo Vocational Rehabilitation Project (NVRP). Previous information from rehabilitation service providers, including both state and Indian vocational rehabilitation project staff, indicated that there were barriers to service delivery unique to reservation-based Indians. However, little formal documentation of those barriers existed in the professional literature.

Navajo (Diné) and other American Indian children are more affected by overweight and obesity than their U.S. counterparts. In this descriptive study, the authors combined a socioecological and Navajo cultural framework to analyze the various factors that influence food choices available to children in schools. The Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 updated nutrition standards for school meals and all other foods and beverages sold in schools. Some studies have shown that improved nutrition standards were not favorably received by students and school food programs. To better understand these

Indoor air pollution has been identified as a major risk factor for acute and chronic respiratory diseases throughout the world. In the sovereign Navajo Nation, an American Indian reservation located in the Four Corners area of the USA, people burn coal in their homes for heat. To explore whether/how indoor coal combustion might contribute to poor respiratory health of residents, this study examined respiratory health data, identified household risk factors such as fuel and stove type and use, analyzed samples of locally used coal, and measured and characterized fine particulate airborne matte

Abstract:
AbstractThirty-five species of lichens were collected from nine locations on or adjacent to the Navajo Indian Reservation in the southwestern United States. Wool was dyed using the traditional boiling water and ammonia fermentation methods. An additional method was developed using a solvent to extract lichen substances and dye wool, cold; this dimethylsulphoxide extraction method is described and the resulting dye colours were sometimes different. Over 155 individual dye tests were made on sheep's wool; a correlation of dye colour with lichen substances reported for the species was attempted.

Abstract:
The Navajo Nation comprises 110 local communities spread over 16 million acres and linked under a highly centralized system of tribal government. Since the creation of the Navajo chapter system, which facilitates local governance for the Navajo Nation, there have been growing tensions between some of these local communities and the central government in Window Rock. In the 1990s and early 2000s, several of these communities moved to claim greater decision-making authority as an assertion of local empowerment.

Abstract:
Histories of peyotism in the United States tend to treat it as deeply rooted and universally embraced in indigenous communities. This chapter reminds us that this was not always the case. During its period of rapid growth, from around 1910 to 1940, peyotism was an evangelical religion in most Native American communities and was met with a great deal of resistance. The peyotists were often young men with ties outside of the community, and their practices challenged traditional hierarchies, traditional practices, and older power-brokers in their communities. In some cases, those who opposed peyotism in Native American communities adopted the same language as the missionaries and the Indian Agents in decrying the spread of peyotism, and in at least one case, (on the Navajo reservation in 1940), this prompted the tribal government to ban peyote on the reservation. The ban passed even with the opposition of the U.S. government, which by 1940 supported the rights of peyotists to practice their religion.

Abstract:
Abstract In this chapter, the author turns to Diné concepts and overall Indigenous community features (language, accessories, and epistemologies) to demonstrate that Indigenous televisual stories are restorative and evocative of Indigi-realism through Indigenous “‘Aye!’sthetics” as storytelling autonomy. “Aye!”sthetics fuses the Turtle Island Indigenous utterance “Aye!” that expresses joking and joy with the beauty and autonomy of on-screen presence and Indigenous existence. Two Indigenous-centered television shows, Reservation Dogs and Rutherford Falls, showcase Indigenous aesthetics, or what I explore as “Aye!”sthetics that offer a glimpse of Indigi-realism in visual storytelling. The author introduces Diné (Navajo) epistemologies as a framework to interrogate Indigenous realities on screen. By focusing on select scenes from the combined thirty-six episodes of each series, the author highlights the beauty, laughter, and resilience of Indigenous peoples, eclipsing heartbreak and adversity.
