Possessions : Indigenous Art / Colonial Culture / Decolonization
A timely re-examination of European engagements with indigenous art and the presence of indigenous art in the contemporary art world. The arts of Africa, Oceania and native America famously inspired twentieth-century modernist artists such as Picasso, Matisse and Ernst.The politics of such stimulus, however, have long been highly contentious: was this a cross-cultural discovery to be celebrated, or just one more example of Western colonial appropriation? This revelatory book explores cross-cultural art through the lens of settler societies such as Australia and New Zealand, where Europeans made new nations, displacing and outnumbering but never eclipsing native peoples.In this dynamic of dispossession and resistance, visual art has loomed large.Settler artists and designers drew upon Indigenous motifs and styles in their search for distinctive identities.Yet powerful Indigenous art traditions have asserted the presence of First Nations peoples and their claims to place, history and sovereignty.Cultural exchange has been a two-way process, and an unpredictable one: contemporary Indigenous art draws on global contemporary practice, but moves beyond a bland affirmation of hybrid identities to insist on the enduring values and attachment to place of Indigenous peoples.

Indigenous Faith : Living a biblically healthy life in the context of an indigenous culture...
How does an indigenous person define the boundary lines in which to live out their faith in Christ in the context of an animistic culture? What are those boundary lines, and who or what should define them for an indigenous Christian? Should each culture be interpreting Scripture through their own cultural prism, or are the Scriptures alone authoritative and sufficient to speak to every human culture with transcendent truth?There is a growing movement in modern evangelicalism that is bringing confusion to the worldwide indigenous church that seeks to incorporate the sacred objects and cultural forms of that culture. The need exists to bring clarity to the confusion and truth to the table to help preserve the integrity of the gospel of Jesus Christ.Craig Stephen Smith seeks to answer these questions from God’s Word in his book, Indigenous Faith. Craig is an enrolled member and tribal elder in the White Earth Band of Ojibwe Indians. He is an author, speaker, and gospel singer who, for over four decades, has brought the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ to people across North America and in over a dozen countries worldwide.To learn more about Craig and LaDonna Smith and Tribal Rescue Ministries, please visit them at: tribalrescue.com.

Indigenous Heritage
History shows that travellers sought to experience the unfamiliar and exotic cultures and traditions of Indigenous peoples, with early examples of Indigenous tourism in the United States, Canada, Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand and countries throughout Asia and Latin America.Similarly, contemporary travellers demonstrate a desire to seek out opportunities to experience Indigenous peoples and their cultures.Thus, we are witnessing worldwide growth in the awareness of, and interest in, Indigenous cultures, traditions, histories and knowledges.Engagement in the tourism sector is regularly advocated for Indigenous peoples because of the socio-economic opportunities it provides; however, there are a range of cultural benefits including the maintenance, rejuvenation and/or preservation of Indigenous cultures, knowledges and traditions for Indigenous peoples who choose tourism as a vehicle to showcase their cultures.Consequently, tourism is regularly acknowledged as a means for facilitating the sustainability of tangible and intangible Indigenous cultural heritage including languages, stories, art, dance, rituals and customs.Importantly, however, the history of Indigenous peoples’ engagement in tourism has provided a range of examples of the threats to Indigenous culture that can accrue as a result of tourism (i.e., cultural degradation, commercialisation and commodification, authenticity and identity, among others).This book presents an exploration of the intersection between tourism and Indigenous culture. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Heritage Tourism.

Indigenous Life around the Great Lakes : War, Climate, and Culture
Enormous changes affected the inhabitants of the Eastern Woodlands area during the eleventh through fifteenth centuries AD.At this time many groups across this area (known collectively to archaeologists as Oneota) were aggregating and adopting new forms of material culture and food technology.This same period also witnessed an increase in intergroup violence, as well as a rise in climatic volatility with the onset of the Little Ice Age.In Indigenous Life around the Great Lakes, Richard W.Edwards explores how the inhabitants of the western Great Lakes region responded to the challenges of climate change, social change, and the increasingly violent physical landscape.As a case study, Edwards focuses on a group living in the Koshkonong Locality in what is now southeastern Wisconsin.Edwards contextualizes Koshkonong within the larger Oneota framework and in relation to the other groups living in the western Great Lakes and surrounding regions.Making use of a canine surrogacy approach, which avoids the destruction of human remains, Edwards analyzes the nature of groups’ subsistence systems, the role of agriculture, and the risk-management strategies that were developed to face the challenges of their day.Based on this analysis, Edwards proposes how the inhabitants of this region organized themselves and how they interacted with neighboring groups.Edwards ultimately shows how the Oneota groups were far more agricultural than previously thought and also demonstrates how the maize agriculture of these groups was related to the structure of their societies. In bringing together multiple lines of archaeological evidence into a unique synthesis, Indigenous Life around the Great Lakes is an innovative book that will appeal to archaeologists who study the Midwest and surrounding regions, and it will also appeal to those who research risk management, agriculture, and the development of hierarchical societies more generally.

Why do so many indigenous roots exist in Latin America and is indigenous culture very present, while it has almost disappeared in North America?
Indigenous roots are so prevalent in Latin America because the region has a long history of indigenous civilizations, such as the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas, whose cultures have had a significant impact on the region. Additionally, many Latin American countries have large indigenous populations that have maintained their cultural traditions and practices. In contrast, the colonization and displacement of indigenous peoples in North America by European settlers led to the near disappearance of indigenous culture in the region. The forced assimilation, displacement, and suppression of indigenous peoples in North America have contributed to the decline of indigenous culture in the region.
-
Were the Germanic people indigenous?
The Germanic people were not indigenous to the areas they eventually settled in. They were originally believed to have originated in Scandinavia and northern Germany before migrating to other parts of Europe. As they moved and settled in new territories, they interacted with and assimilated with the indigenous populations already living there. Over time, they established their own distinct cultures and societies in these regions.
