Since the discovery of the new world there have been conflicts over, and exploitation of, the Native Americans, their lands and their resources. First were the conflicts over living space and access to the land. By the 1830's, with the discovery of gold and other precious metals on Indian lands, the forced relocation of the Native peoples west of the Mississippi began. Since then there have been waves of prospectors, mining companies and government-funded corporations looking, and finding, valuable natural resources within Indian Territory all over the country. Finally, after the Native Americans had been relocated on seemingly worthless lands in the west, another precious resource was found, uranium. With relocation no longer an option because the American population had now surrounded the Indians and their lands it was decided that mining for this dangerous resource would have to take place despite the Indian populations' presence. The results of uranium mining shattered the health of Navajo miners and their families and drastically contaminated their environment. This paper will examine the environmental and biological effects of uranium mining during the Cold War on the Navajo peoples in the American southwest as well as the continuing efforts to reclaim their environment in the wake of the United States' drive towards nuclear superiority.

Koloniale Verständnisse nativer Kulturen bestimmen auch heute noch die kulturelle Repräsentation im westlichen Mediendiskurs. Sehr betroffen von diesen Falschdarstellungen ist besonders die nativ-amerikanische kulturelle Identität. Westliche Darstellungen nativ-amerikanischer Kultur sind nicht nur maßgeblich für die westliche Wahrnehmung dieser, sondern beeinflussen auch nativ-amerikanische Selbstwahrnehmung, was in Folge zur weiteren Manifestation kolonialer Stereotypen führt. Ein Hauptkatalysator in der Verbreitung der erwähnten Falschdarstellungen ist das durch Hollywood kreierte Bild des Nativen Amerikaners/der Nativen Amerikanerin. Nachdem ein Fundament der postkolonialen Theorie und ihrer Bedeutung für Filmstudien gelegt wird, wird diese Arbeit aufklären, wie Film sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten als wichtiges Glied in der Stiftung kultureller Identität kristallisiert hat. Es wird erschlossen, dass Filme sich als wichtiges Instrument im Ausdruck kultureller Identität erweisen und dadurch Bedeutung als Mittel zur Dekonstruktion des Western gaze und zur Visualisierung nativ-amerikanischer kultureller Identität durch eine Native American lens, tragen. Um zu zeigen wie solch eine Repräsentation nativ-amerikanischer Identität durch eine Native American lens funktioniert, werden in der folgenden Arbeit drei Filme, produziert von nativ-amerikanischen Filmdirektoren, einer Analyse unterzogen. Die Resultate suggerieren dass kulturelle Identitätsvisualisation durch eine Native American lens vor allem durch direkte Antworten auf die vom Western gaze konstituieren Vorurteile und durch besondere Hervorhebungen kultureller Eigenheiten funktioniert. Forschungen im Hinblick auf zukünftige Aussichten bringen hervor, dass in Zukunft für die Visualisierung kultureller Identität in der medialen Repräsentation, vor allem durch die erleichterten Bedingungen die Distribution betreffenden, soziale Medien an Bedeutung gewinnen werden und legen so den Weg für künftige Forschung. ; Colonial understandings of Native cultures still impact cultural representations in Western media discourse. Western portrayals of Native American culture thus have strongly influenced not only Western perceptions of Native American identity, but as well Native American understandings of their own cultural identity, further manifesting colonial stereotypes. One of the main catalysts in distributing such misrepresentations of Native American cultural identity has been the image of Native Americans as created by Hollywood, since cultural perception is very much influenced by the reality presented to the viewer within mass produced movies. After laying a foundation of postcolonial theory and its importance for film analysis, this thesis will demonstrate how movies proved to be a vehicle for cultural identity expression. It will be concluded that movies serve as a powerful tool for cultural identity expression and, when in the hands of Native Americans, further the deconstruction of the Western gaze and the visualization of cultural identity through a Native American lens. In order to demonstrate how such visualization of Native identity through a Native American lens works, for the following thesis, three movies, directed by Native Americans, will be analysed in terms of cultural identity expression, within a postcolonial approach. Results suggest that contemporary identity visualisation through a Native American lens works through a direct response to stereotypes created by the Western gaze, as well as through a focus on specific Native American cultural traits and systems of knowledge production. Research concerning the future outlook of a cultural identity expression in visual culture proposes that within the blended field of Native identity expression and visualizations through new media, such as film, social media and short films distributed through it, will gain in importance due to the democratization of distribution and thus, lays paths for future research. ; Michelle-Francine Natascha Ulz, BA ; Zusammenfassungen auf Deutsch und Englisch ; Literaturverzeichnis: Blätter 73-76 ; Masterarbeit Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz 2021 21723

In the second volume of the IHS Press's Peopling Indiana Series, anthropologist Elizabeth Glenn and ethnohistorian Stewart Rafert put readers in touch with the first people to inhabit the Hoosier state, exploring what it meant historically to be an Indian in this land and discussing the resurgence of native life in the state today. Many natives either assimilated into white culture or hid their Indian identity. World War II dramatically changed this scenario when Native Americans served in the U.S. military and on the home front. Afterward, Indians from many tribal lineages flocked to Indiana

Youth and delinquency issues have long been problematic among Native Americans groups both on- and off-reservation. This phenomenon is further complicated by the cultural diversity among American Indians and Alaska Natives scattered across the United States. In address these issues, the paper begins with a historical overview of Native American youth.This history presents the long tradition of federal policies that, how well intended, have resulted in discriminatory practices with the most damages attacks being those directed toward the destruction of viable cultural attributes – the same attributes that make Native Americans unique within United States society.Following the historical material, the authors contrast the pervasive Native American aboriginal ethos of harmony with that of Protestant Ethic that dominates the ethos of the larger United States society. In addition to providing general information on Native American crime and delinquency, the paper also provides a case study of Native American justice within the Navajo Nation, the largest tribe, in both size and population, in the United States. The paper concludes with a discussion of issues specific to Native American youth and efforts to address these problems.
