“American Indians Today: Emigrational conflict and the Jockeying for Cultural Hegemony”, Albuquerque, NM, Feb 13-16, 2008. The panel seeks to explore the historic and current phenomena of repeated migrations of people into North America and the reactions of dominant cultural groups and incoming cultural groups. In particular, the panel seeks to explore how Native Americans have faired in this cyclical process of cultural struggles to dominate or just to survive. I propose to present a paper that explores the historic backdrop of this cultural struggle as it moved across North America, affecting various groups of Native Americans in the wake of advancing European based cultures. Other participants will be asked to contribute with more modern variations of the cultural struggle, keeping Native Americans at the core of the panel discussion. Examples of the cultural issues as hand should definitely include language, with the repeating “English Only” movement and its impact on Native American culture, and possibly include other cultural clashes, such as the bans on Native American dance and certain artistic expressions. Please send proposals to Dr. Rebecca Seaman, rmseaman@roadrunner.com by December 31, 2007 to guarantee consideration.
