“…We develop a detailed codebook accounting for manifestations of Indigenous culture in #IdleNoMore tweets based on the literature reviewed in the previous paragraphs and other relevant sources (Alfred, 2010;Altamirano-Jimenez, 2013;Ellis, 2013;Hecht, Jackson, & Pitts, 2005;Henderson, 2000;Hermes, 2012;Lawrence, 2003;Lugones, 2010;Nelson, 2006). 11 The content of hyperlinks embedded in tweets was also taken into account when analyzing the presence of references to core elements of Indigenous identity.…”

Social media have been playing a growingly important role in grassroots protest over the last five years. While many scholars have explored dynamics of political cyberprotest (e.g., the ongoing transnational Occupy movement, the 2012 Quebec student strike, the student-led protest movement in Chile between 2011 and 2013), few have studied sub-dynamics relating to ethno-cultural minorities' uses of social media to gain visibility, mobilize support, and engage in political and civil action. We fill part of this gap in the academic literature by investigating uses of Twitter for political engagement in the context of the Canada-based Idle No More movement (INM). This ongoing protest initiative, which emerged in December 2012, seeks to mobilize Indigenous Peoples in Canada and internationally as well as their non-Indigenous allies. It does so by bringing attention to their culture, struggles, and identities as well as advocating for changes in policy areas relating to the environment, governance, and socioeconomic matters. Our study explores to what extent references to aspects of Indigenous identities and culture shaped INM-related tweeting and, by extension, activism during the summer of 2013. We conducted a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of 1650 #IdleNoMore tweets shared by supporters of this movement between 3 July 2013 and 2 August 2013. Our study demonstrates that unlike other social media-intensive movements where economic and political concerns were the primary drivers of political and civil engagement, aspects of Indigenous culture influenced information flows and mobilization among #IdleNoMore tweeters.

“…In one of my frequent deep dives of exploration into the world-wide-web, I came across historian Clyde Ellis' article '"My Heart Jumps Happy When I … Hear That Music": Powwow Singing and Indian Identities in Eastern North Carolina.' (Ellis 2013). While I didn't know Clyde, although we are now Facebook friends, I knew many of the people he quoted on the history of the powwow among North Carolina tribes, including my high school art teacher, Mr. Joe Liles.…”

How to Create a Distinctly Native Journal

In this essay, I describe three characteristics that Indigenous Business and Public Administration should aim to develop to be a distinctly Native journal. The journal should not be contained by dominant stereotypes of Native Americans. It should reflect the adaptability and innovation that Native Americans have shown in surviving the continuing colonial endeavor to erase us. Finally, the relationships between members of this community should be prioritized at least as much as the content. I developed these characteristics by reflecting on my experiences in higher education along with the ideas of other Native scholars.

“…Competitions and festivals of amateur singers and musicians of different kinds, of both local pop and folk music, held in various parts of the world have gained the attention of scholars across many fields, including culture studies and ethnomusicology or social and cultural geography (Ó Laoire, 2000;Duffy, 2000Duffy, , 2005Tan, 2005;Wood, 2012;Ellis, 2013;Kearney, 2013;Rhodes, 2021). However, the regions of Central and Mid-Eastern Europe have only been explored to a smaller extent (Bohlman, 2011: 95-107;Szalay, 2017;Nowak, 2018).…”

“Zpěváček” is a competition for children singers of folk songs, which has been held in the Czech Republic since 1978 in several rounds, from regional to national. The article explores the ways in which the children act as performers of the (micro)regional identity and negotiate local cultural heritage. Accounting for both historical and contemporary contexts, the text draws from fieldwork including participant observation and autoethnography, interviews, and document analysis.
