“…Lily and Peggy have illustrated this concept through their efforts to decolonize themselves, yet they are only two in a sea of many others, others who continue to perpetuate hegemony which Native women scholars must reject in order to achieve determination and true sovereignty for Native people (Alfred, 2005).…”

This article exposes the experiences of two Native women, describing their acts of resistance against and questioning of the establishments in which they work. The Native women in this article redefine themselves outside of the dominant society's socialization, especially the boundaries of the institutions to which they belong. Through this redefinition, it becomes clear that the women have begun to decolonize the oppressive borders with which society and academia have tried to surround them. These Native women have defined the concept of transcending identities.

“…Sovereignty is one of the most debated concepts in Native American and Indigenous studies. Perhaps most notoriously, Gerald (Taiaiake) Alfred goes so far as to argue that “‘sovereignty’ is inappropriate as a political objective for Indigenous peoples” (, 464). While his and others’ critique of federal recognition, whereby the settler state attempts to limit Native nations sovereign potential, is compelling and important, his assumptions about sovereignty are themselves rooted in colonial ideologies (Wilkins ).…”

Entangled sovereignties: The Osage Nation's interconnections with governmental and corporate authorities

Even as Indigenous authority over land remains under attack through ongoing settler‐colonial processes, Native nations continue to pursue their own agendas. Like the negotiations around sovereignty across the globe, the result is a web of interconnected authorities. Native nations, US counties and states, the federal government, and various corporations constantly deploy creative tactics, calculated disruptions, and negotiated compromises in an effort to gain and maintain authority over a territory. As demonstrated by Osage political history, tobacco sales tax negotiations, and battles over industrial wind parks, acting as a sovereign creates interconnection with other governments. Considered in light of these ongoing negotiations, sovereignty is not freedom from external control but is, rather, an inescapable web of negotiation, contention, and concession that leads to further entanglement.

Unsettling British Columbia: Canadian Aboriginal Historiography, 1992–2012

This is the second of two essays examining the recent historiography of Canadian Aboriginal History published roughly in the last two decades (1992-2012) using a regional focus -British Columbia. Historians have been touched by trends outside their own discipline, even from beyond the academy. Aboriginal land claims, rights litigation, and landmark cases originating in BC, such as Delgamuukw, have made historians more aware of constructions of history in the courts. Scholars writing about Aboriginal history in British Columbia reference popular and community histories and education curricula alongside academic works. The fixation on colonialism has kept Native-Settler relations at the forefront. Recently, however, the scholarship has begun to push past mere explorations of BC's Aboriginal peoples in colonial history to consider colonialism within Aboriginal history and epistemologies. Indigenous-centric scholarship has demanded a more substantial voice in the production of histories, some insisting on exclusivity. At the same time, academic historians seek out opportunities for cross-cultural dialogues and listen attentively to alternative histories bringing them into the professional scholarship even at the cost of "unsettling" historical narratives.
