Chapter ten is purposely forward-looking. This chapter lays out a series of potential tribal legal remedies that can put the control over effectively responding to rape back in the hands of tribal nations. This chapter describes these proposed remedies in detail and provides ideas for how such systems can be crafted to meet the unique needs of Native women. In particular this chapter looks at how there should be civil protection orders for rape survivors. There should also be full faith and credit of tribal protection orders for sexual assault. It concludes by stating the need for tribal governments to reconnect to traditional lifeways that promote and protect the safety and sovereignty of women.Less

Chapter eight brings reform from the federal level back to the scale of individual tribal nations. It explores indigenous philosophical foundations for responding to rape. As contemporary tribal nations continue to strengthen their own response to rape, it suggests specific philosophical frameworks for tribal nations to consider in an effort to avoid some of the flaws of the Anglo-American criminal justice system. Some of these suggests to tribal nations are to give credence and respect to the women’s stories of surviving rape, to reflect on historical anti-rape activism and draw inspiration from them, and to look towards traditional beliefs and oral traditions and how they deal with sexual violence.Less

The conclusion addresses the needs for tribal nations to internally reassess the way in which they help and support sexual assault victims. These changes can and should be achieved without gaining federal or state approval or supervision. It examines questions concerning how tribal nations react to instances of sexual assault and aims to emphasize the need for laws and systems where survivors of rape are believed and the perpetrators are held accountable. These questions should serve as a stating point for tribal nations to begin thinking about and assessing the ways in which sexual assault is handled in their own communities, but are merely ways in which to get the conversation about sexual assault started.Less

Some environmental and social organizations are making significant efforts to include the concerns of Native Americans in environmental risk assessments. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and American Indian Nations are making efforts to address this problem. The EPA and Tribal Nations are finding ways to make science more responsive so that Native Americans utilize resources from the environment. The EPA and tribal scientists measure the actual quantity of fish consumed by these people under this approach. Another approach is based on the culture of Native Americans, where health concerns are defined in terms of culture. This approach allows Tribal Nations to redefine health in broader terms based on cultural indicators such as traditional food habits and cultural ceremonies.Less

This chapter moves a step further, building on the mechanical and legalistic intrusions to view rape as encouraged and cultivated by colonialism. This chapter examines the continued culpability of the federal government vis-à-vis specific federal officials who themselves commit individual acts of rape while serving in positions of trust and authority in tribal nations. It examines the necessity for the United States to better hold federal employees accountable for their actions. This is an action that has been a constant up hill battle for the Native American community.Less

This book explores Native American claims against the United States government over the past two centuries. Despite the federal government's multiple attempts to redress indigenous claims, a close examination reveals that even when compensatory programs were instituted, Native peoples never attained a genuine sense of justice. The book addresses the important question of what one nation owes another when the balance of rights, resources, and responsibilities has been negotiated through treaties. How does the United States ensure that guarantees made to tribal nations, whether through a century-old treaty or a modern day contract, remain viable and lasting?Less

Returning to the current controversy over Makah whaling, this concluding chapter revisits the themes of indigenous borderlands and ways that the People of the Cape have combined customary marine practices with new opportunities and technology. Opponents of Makah whaling denigrate the tribal nation for being motivated by a naive and antimodern desire to live in the past. Makah history, however, reveals that this tribal nation has continuously exploited marine space and borderlands networks to chart a traditional future. Modern Makah whaling illustrates that this tribal nation is living in the present and moving into the future while retaining what is best about its traditions. The current whaling efforts exemplify how Makahs are using customary practices to reclaim their marine space while protecting their sovereignty and charting a course for a particular identity in the modern world.Less

This chapter explores how anti-treaty-rights activists mobilize a particular rights discourse—special-rights talk—as a conceptual resource for making sense of, and opposing, the redistributive rights claims made by tribal nations. It argues that activists' special-rights talk partially constitutes their political visions and identities. It amplifies their resentment of treaty rights, which they interpret not only as threats to self-interest and group interest, but also as threats to national values. Their special-rights talk thus turns anti-treaty-rights activists into countersubversives. The chapter first details how activists have mobilized against what they understand to be the special treaty rights of tribal nations. Second, it introduces an argument that is pursued in the book's concluding chapter: mobilizations against treaty rights are a species of a more general tendency in contemporary American politics; they are expressions of resentment over the political participation of traditionally disadvantaged Americans.Less

The epilogue is self-reflective of the author’s own history of working towards helping victims of sexual assault. It outlines her futures goals of scholarship in regards to sexual assault against Native women. The author wishes to examine the role of language in shaping people’s experience of reality and social relations. In addition to studying the linguists of Native peoples, the author is interested in elevating the voices of Native women who have developed their own solutions and interventions within their tribal nations.Less

This collection of first-hand accounts from Native people from across the southeast offers a rare glimpse into the powerful and diverse experiences of a population who have been historically overlooked or misrepresented in spite of the significant roles they played in the political, economic, and cultural development of the region. Comprised of personal reflections, oral histories, and speech transcripts, this volume contributes to larger conversations around issues of both southern and Indian identity, racialized politics (at the federal, state and inter-tribal levels), tribal nation-building, cultural preservation and restoration, education, health, and economic development. The collection contains over 40 entries that represent a diverse range of Indian communities from Virginia to Louisiana and are divided into four thematic chapters that are each introduced and connected to broader regional and national contexts. The contributors represent varying generations, professions, and tribal political statuses that—collectively—generate a better understanding of southeastern Indian leadership, resilience and perseverance in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.Less

This chapter explores the concepts of survivance and residence as novel ways of thinking about complex social and material outcomes, along with their political implications, for historical and archaeological research. These concepts are used to demonstrate the ‘archaeology of the colonised’ by focusing on an archaeological case involving the 225-acre reservation of the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation in southeastern Connecticut. This case shows, in the contexts of the archaeology of colonialism and indigeneity, what is at stake — interpretively and politically — when measuring change and continuity in other times and places.Less
