Publication "The Lord Will Provide": The History and Role of Episcopalian Christianity in Nets'aii Gwich'in Social Development--Arctic Village, Alaska(Global Indigenous Nations Studies Program, University of Kansas: http://www.indigenous.ku.edu, 2003-03-01) Dinero, Steven C.This paper addresses the history and development of Episcopalianism in the Nets'aii Gwich'in community of Arctic Village, Alaska. It is argued that Christianity in the village well represents communal resistance to colonial domination, as well as the ability to blend past and present traditions. This development is due largely to the role played by the Gwich'in Reverend Albert E. Tritt, whose efforts, including his building of the community's first church, were central to the community's embracing of Christianity. The paper concludes with a discussion of Gwich'in Episcopalianism in the twenty-first century, and its role in the battle against oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.Publication Indigenous Nations Journal, Volume 4, Number 1 (Spring, 2003): Book Reviews(Global Indigenous Nations Studies Program, University of Kansas: http://www.indigenous.ku.edu, 2003-03-01)Publication First Nations Center at the University of Wisconsin-Superior(Global Indigenous Nations Studies Program, University of Kansas: http://www.indigenous.ku.edu, 2003-03-01) Johnson, GaryPublication Aboriginal Economic Development in Urban Areas: A Framework for Comparative Analysis(Global Indigenous Nations Studies Program, University of Kansas: http://www.indigenous.ku.edu, 2003-03-01) Morris, Peter L.The globalizing and urbanizing contexts of Western societies impact Indigenous communities in a variety of ways. This paper deals with the complex definitions that arise in work with urban Indigenous communities, the historical differences between Indigenous experiences in the United States and Australia, and the interplay between Indigenous cultures and the economy. The final section of the paper draws these themes together through an analysis of Diane Smith's research with the Redfern Aboriginal Corporation in central Sydney, Australia. This comparison of urban Indigenous experiences in Australia and the United States clearly evidences the need for further research in the field of Indigenous economic development in urban areas.Publication American Indian Doctorate Receipt 1980-200: A Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis(Global Indigenous Nations Studies Program, University of Kansas: http://www.indigenous.ku.edu, 2003-03-01) Lintner, TimothyThis research presents a quantitative and qualitative analysis of American Indian doctorate receipt between 1980-2000. A quantitative analysis of American Indian doctorate receipt by sex and by broadfield category is initially presented. This research also sought to qualitatively explore the multiple factors that influence American Indians to receive and utilize their doctorate in the field of Education. Interviews with 16 American Indian doctorate recipients in the field of Education from the University of Oklahoma, the University of Arizona, and Northern Arizona University were conducted. Findings revealed that issues of community, personal and professional interest, and voice and access were all contributory factors that both influenced and motivated these persons to obtain their doctorate in the field of Education.Publication Indigenous Nations Journal, Volume 4, Number 1 (Spring, 2003): Front Matter(Global Indigenous Nations Studies Program, University of Kansas: http://www.indigenous.ku.edu, 2003-03-01)Publication Colonialism and Criminal Justice for Indigenous Peoples in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States of America(Global Indigenous Nations Studies Program, University of Kansas: http://www.indigenous.ku.edu, 2003-03-01) Nielsen, Marianne O.; Robyn, LindaColonial processes impact the involvement of Indigenous Peoples in criminal justice. Despite differences, there is a distinctive pattern that can be seen in the criminal justice systems of the above-given four countries. Indigenous People are over-represented as offenders and victims. This overrepresentation has been caused by colonial processes marginalizing Indigenous Peoples. These processes include depopulation, legal control, the use of ideology through religion, education, media, urbanization, and paternalism. Governments have avoided addressing marginalization by focusing on the indigenization of criminal justice services. Dominant governments must take into account historical processes when developing policies and making decisions about Indigenous Peoples, or their efforts to end over-representation will be doomed to continuing failure.
