“…While they did not recognise US sovereignty over them, they were also not the villainous raiders that dominated the settlers' fears. In fact, their economy relied on hunting, gathering of wild plants, and farming of corn, pumpkins, and other crops along streams in the deep valleys that cut their high timbered ranges (Record, 2008). 3 Acquired as a protectorate in 1884, the German sphere of influence in Southwest Africa rested on a series of protection treaties with local Indigenous communities, and gradually advanced inland from the coastal area.…”

This article takes a comparative approach to settler colonial violence in the American Southwest and German Southwest Africa. The Anglo invasion of central Arizona in 1864 and the German conflict against the Herero in 1904 highlights the nature of frontier violence and identifies similarities and differences across two points in space and time that have seldom been compared by historians. Those writing of the US-Apache conflicts have failed to look to colonial theaters around the world, their transnational attention focusing instead on the borderlands of United States, Mexico, and independent Indians. Similarly, research on the violence in GSWA has not engaged systematically with international parallels and has instead focused on identifying possible links between GSWA and the Nazis and the Holocaust. This article seeks to address these shortcomings by analysing the comparative strands of settler colonial violence.

“…Community members engaged in heritage perpetuation note the loss of traditional practices and knowledge due to the tribes' loss of land management authority (Coder, Randall, Smith-Rocha, & Hines, 2005). Other observers have generally noted the connections between traditional Apache knowledge and resource management (National Wildlife Foundation, n.d.), and have looked at Western Apache relations to landscapes from an historical perspective (Ferguson & Colwell-Chanthaphonh, 2006;Record, 2008). Scientists and community members document the ways that non-tribal land managers and resource specialists have harmed the Ndee Dawa Dabini' and associated heritage and cultural practice (Pilsk & Cassa, 2005;Welch, 1997;Welch, Riley, & Nixon, 2009), voicing hope for the perpetuation and productive application of cultural-geographic and environmental knowledge (Welch & Riley, 2001).…”

From 2010 to 2013, the White Mountain Apache Tribe and the University of Arizona, with funding from the National Science Foundation, hosted the Western Apache Ethnography and Geographic Information Science Research Experience for Undergraduates. Designed to foster practical skills and scholarly capacities for future resource managers and anthropologists, this field school introduced Apache and non-native undergraduate students to ethnographic field research and GIS tools. Building upon the extensive arrays of geographical, cultural, and historical data that are available for Western Apache territory, field school students engaged in community-based participatory research with Western Apache elders and tribal natural and heritage resource personnel to contribute to the Western Apache tribes' efforts to document their cultural histories, traditional ecological knowledge, local understanding of geography, and issues of historic and contemporary resource management. This essay reviews the program and traces how student alumni have incorporated skills and perspectives gained into their subsequent academic and professional work.
