Stewardship and Belonging: Restoring Right Relations

The Indigenous led stand at Standing Rock against the Dakota Access Pipeline (#NoDAPL) was both a political and religious movement. Thousands of Native and non-Native peoples gathered at Standing Rock in 2016-17, in response to public appeals to help protect local waterways by Standing Rock resident LaDonna Brave Bull Allard and others. I draw on this political moment to discuss how environmental studies, Indigenous studies, and religious studies converge through the ethics of stewardship. In this talk, I explore how urban Native and Chicano-Indigenous activists and cultural workers were inspired to join the #NoDAPL movement to reinforce Indigenous sovereignty, which is theorized as collective and relational, and in this case waged on behalf of the waters (Holm, Pearson, Chavis 2003; Estes 2019). I argue that urban Native and Chicano-Indigenous participation in these stewardship movements was not only an act of solidarity but also an opportunity to heal historical trauma through the restoration of self/community relations.

2019 Ethnic Studies Study Abroad: Peru Info Session Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 09/17/2018 - 09:10

The break up of the Soviet Union, the precarious status of nation-states in parts of Africa and Asia, the rise of multiculturalism in the United States, the acceleration of economic globalization and other related events of the 1980s and 1990s have prompted scholars to explore, in ways they had not before, both the power and fragility of nations and national identities. A fascinating interdisciplinary literature has emerged on how nations form, how nationalisms acquire and lost power, how national identity shapes (and is shaped by) identities grounded in region, race, ethnicity, and gender. This course will examine this literature, with a particular emphasis on sport. This course will examine how the media, race, gender, sexuality, and economics made the world of sport we see today. This course explores the athlete in a global context. The course will not be an exercise in sport history. This course will use sport, and the many documents surrounding the games, to gain a better understanding of how athletes became a symbol of nationhood, and how they are influenced by, and themselves influence, other aspects of society, including social, political, and economic aspects of their society. All of this will be examined in Lima, Peru. Lima will host the 2019 Pan American Games, and the opening ceremony as well as several sporting venues will be our classroom.
