“…Still, Puisto (2009) demonstrates the damage of the Rancheria Act and termination policies are not bound to California. Referring to the atrocities committed toward American Indians, Field (1999) recognizes the failure of multiple actors aiding the federal government to systematically erase American Indians by the implementation of federal policies of non-recognition. Goldberg (2002) asserts termination signified loss of citizenship and the birth of non-Indian Indians from incorrect federally mandated lists or "rolls," lists intended to dismantle tribal lands.…”

Throughout the history of the United States, the relationship with its original inhabitants has been marked by inequity, persisting from its inception in 1776. This qualitative case study delves into the enduring repercussions of the Rancheria Termination Act of 1958 on California's American Indian communities. Guided by a transformative axiological assumption rooted in respect, beneficence, and justice, this research seeks to shed light on this act's profound and lasting impacts. The California Rancheria Termination Act of 1958 (Rancheria Act) represents a joint effort by the United States government and the State of California to circumvent federal treaty responsibilities and transfer portions of tribal lands to the state. The findings of this study reveal that the Rancheria Act (1958) set tribal governments back by over 650 years. With an average of 17 years of non-existence before restoration, the 41 tribal governments affected by inequitable and racist policies continue to wage a resilient battle to reclaim their identity. In defiance of the federal government's actions, tribal governments persist in their struggle to safeguard their culture, language, spiritual practices, societal contributions, and indigenous identity. These were once threatened by the classification of terminated rancheria inhabitants as non-Indian Indians. The study has uncovered a compelling need for further research into the holistic impact of the Rancheria Act. Such research can provide the foundation for developing initiatives that empower American Indians and tribal governments to exercise their right to self-determination. These initiatives can also foster community reconciliation, addressing historical injustices impacting present issues.

“…Accession to the US entrenched a white supremacism that turned against both Native Americans and Hispanics (McKanna, 2002). The US campaign led to a drastic decline in their numbers: ‘The extraordinary history of genocidal violence against California natives during the Spanish and American periods caused a demographic collapse throughout the region’ (Field, 1999: 196). Cutcha Risling Baldy, a scholar of Native American California and a member of the Hoopa tribe, was told by an elder: ‘Remember, Granddaughter, you are alive because some miner was a bad shot’ (Baldy, 2018: 52).…”

The Ohlone, the original settlers of the San Francisco region, were violently dispossessed by successive colonial regimes, first Spanish, then US American. The colonial trauma was written out of history, and by the 20th century anthropologists pronounced the Ohlone to be ‘extinct’. In this article, I explore how the dispossession of the Ohlone haunt one of the greatest movies of all time: Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (1958). Although Vertigo is one of the most-analysed films ever, no one has noticed that Carlotta Valdes – the dispossessed woman who comes back from the dead to take possession of the living – would have been Native American. A hauntological reading reveals Vertigo as an unwitting witness of colonial dispossession.

“…Consent, therefore, is key: both PMT and neo‐Chumash seek a particular kind of relationship with outside groups and consent to a process for establishing that relationship. They are not obligated to go through the process, and some groups that identify as indigenes choose not to do so (see, e.g., Field 1999; Friedman 1999). All standing as Indians is not lost by this strategy of non‐consent: the PMT and neo‐Chumash groups enjoy some legitimacy for their asserted identities at less‐than‐federal levels in more local arenas.…”
