The history of contact with Europeans for Native Americans and the Tlingit people in particular has been well documented as one of extreme pain, suffering, and injustice. It was "survival time" for the Tlingit and very difficult choices had to be made. The life of one Tlingit man, Rudolph Walton, born in Sitka, Alaska in 1867, illuminates this critical time in the history of the Tlingit people. This dissertation is ah exploration of the interplay between competing cultures and interests and it is a quest to understand who Rudolph Walton was and how his life and the choices he made are connected to the larger historic themes and cross-cultural issues in Alaska Native education and religious life. In addition to providing a look at history and at cultural change through an individual's life, choices and experiences, this dissertation is also about the connection between my ancestors' choices and the impact those choices had on the survival of a people. It is at once a macro view and a micro view of the impact of history on Indian people. After the purchase of Alaska by the United States traditional Tlingit life changed forever. The Tlingit were forced on a daily basis to balance demands and pressures made by various Christian religious groups and the U. S. government. They also had to contend with the prejudice of the average American citizen. Most Native American history has been limited to the use of records written by Europeans and Americans. Our understanding of that history is limited because the voice of the Native American is rarely heard. This dissertation fills a gap in the history of Southeast Alaska through an examination of the life of Rudolph Walton. The life of Mr. Walton is important because he left us with a unique set of documents which help us to understand the difficulties he had to face as a Tlingit man during a critical time in the history of Southeast Alaska.

The Meshingomesia Reserve was in existence for a little over thirty years, from 1840-1873. During that time it served as a buffer between the Miami in Indiana and the encroaching white settlers. The survey of the reserve was undertaken to establish what remained in the archaeological evidence of this historic area. From the results of the survey and the background research into the history and archaeological site surveys and excavations previously conducted within the reserve’s boundaries, an assessment of the archaeological resources and a management plan were developed. / Department of Anthropology

Em primeiro lugar, trata da situação dos Mapuche no Chile, enfocando tanto o processo de etnogênese no período colonial quanto a ocupação de seus territórios autônomos no período que vai de meados do século XIX ao princípio do século XX. Em segundo lugar, aborda a situação dos Kaiowá-Guarani no Brasil, analisando os aspectos formativos de suas identidades sociais no período colonial e descrevendo o processo de ocupação agro-econômica, no final do século XIX, e o posterior aldeamento promovido pelo Serviço de Proteção ao Índio, entre 1915 e 1928, na fronteira sul-mato-grossense. O objetivo central da pesquisa é dimensionar comparativamente os processos sociais e os conflitos ideológicos que tornaram possível a criação de contextos básicos de ocupação dos territórios indígenas por parte dos respectivos Estados. Para tanto, é utilizado como marco analítico o conceito de territorialização, definido, conforme J.P. de Oliveira Filho, como uma intervenção da esfera política hegemônica que prescreve um território determinado a um conjunto de indivíduos e grupos sociais. Nossa hipótese é que tais processos não estabeleceram modalidades unilaterais, estáticas e cabalmente impositivas de delimitação espacial, sendo a própria manifestação de uma identidade territorial mapuche ou kaiowá-guarani conseqüência de suas intensas relações interétnicas e intersocietárias. Um segundo objetivo, que advém do anterior, consiste em entender as conexões temporais entre os processos históricos de territorialização indígena e a configuração de uma etnopolítica no presente, a qual se articula nas demandas e reivindicações de ¿recuperação¿ dos territórios tidos como tradicionais. Todos os indícios históricos apontam que a perda da autonomia territorial significou para ambos os grupos, Mapuche e Kaiowá, um momento crítico de sua história recente, a partir do qual se redefiniram, no decorrer do século XX, e se redefinem, no presente, as condições de suas relações intersocietárias. A partir desse duplo movimento analítico, pode-se concluir que efetivamente é o território o âmbito estratégico-administrativo mais relevante na situação de incorporação de populações indígenas dentro (e por parte) do Estado-nação. Do ponto de vista indígena, no entanto, a cronologia de fatos históricos que caracterizam a perda de suas autonomias territoriais tem profundas implicações para o modo como esses grupos pensam e agem nas conjunturas do presente / Abstract: This work consists of a historical and comparative study of two territorialization of indigenous groups processes in South America. First, it deals with the situation of the Mapuche in Chile, focusing both the ethnogenesis process during the colonial period and the occupation of their autonomous territories in the period between the mid-nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. Second, it approaches the situation of the Kaiowá-Guarani in Brazil, analysing the formative aspects of their social identities in the colonial period; and describing the process of agroeconomic ocuppation, at the end of the nineteenth century, and the later settlement promoted by the Service for the Protection of the Indigenous (SPI - Serviço de Proteção ao Índio), between 1915 and 1928, in the borders of the Mato Grosso do Sul state. The main aim of the research is to comparatively measure the social processes and ideological conflicts that rendered possible the making of the basic contexts of occupation of indigenous territories by each of the two States. Therefore, we use as our framework the concept of territorialization, defined, following J. P. de Oliveira Filho, as an intervention of the hegemonic public sphere that prescribes an specific territory to a set of individuals and social groups. Our hypothesis is that such processes did not establish unilateral, static and entirely imposed procedures for the defining of borders. The manifestation of a mapuche or kaiowá-guarani territorial identity is a consequence of their intense interethnic and intersocietal relations. Another aim of the work, deriving from the first, consists of understanding the connection in time between the historical processes of indigenous territorialization and the configuration of an ethnopolitics in the present, this latter being expressed in demands and claims for the "recovery" of territories regarded as traditional. All historical evidence indicatesthat the loss of territorial autonomy was a critical moment in the recent history of both the Mapuche and the Kaiowá groups. From then on, along the twentieth century and in the present, they have been and are redefining the conditions for intersocietal relations. From this analytic double move one may conclude that the territory is in fact the most relevant strategic-administrative aspect of the incorporation of indigenous populations into (and by) the nation state. However, from the indigenous point of view the chronology of the facts that characterize their loss of territorial autonomy have deep consequences for the way these groups think and act in the present / Mestrado / Etnologia Indigena / Mestre em Antropologia Social

The lack of a chronological framework for 16th and 17th century northeastern North America has impeded local and regional cultural reconstructions. Based upon the changing style of 16th and early 17th century European glass beads and the settlement patterning of the Neutral Iroquoians of southern Ontario, a chronology has been created. It provides the means to investigate native and European cultural trends during that era, and within this dissertation three topics are examined--the development of the commercial fur trade and its archaeological manifestations, an archaeological definition of the Neutral Iroquoian confederacy, and changes in European material culture recovered from pre-ca. AD 1650 archaeological contexts throughout the Northeast.
