This article examines alcohol and native American youth in an historical perspective, and in a present day context. The paper is divided as follows: “Introduction,” “The Period Before 1832,” “Indian Prohibition 1832–1953,” “1953-Present,” and “What Next?” It is a complex problem, involving cultural, environmental, economic, and many other elements all best understood in historical context. A native American “community” is difficult to maintain alongside the “corporatization” of tribes and the infusion of government monies and programs. Dynamic local community involvement is called for here, as well as a “small is beautiful” theme for both economic and social policies pertaining to native Americans. This addresses the problem at the local or community level, encouraging mediating structures for a total effort on local community ground.

American Ethnicity

Abstract Identity in Native North America is defined by legal, racial, linguistic and ethnic traits. This article looks at the nomenclature of both Indian, Eskimo and Native, and then places them in a historical context, in Canada and the United States. It is argued that ideas about Native Americans derive from medieval concepts, and that these ideas both constrain Native identity and ensure the survival of American Indians despite accelerating loss of language.

Native Americans experience a higher rate of intimate partner violence (IPV) compared to other racial/ethnic groups (Bachman et al., 2010; Bachman et al., 2008; Bohn, 2003; Bryant-Davis et al., 2009; Bubar, 2009; Dugan & Apel, 2003; Hamby, 2000; Perry, 2004), however, there is limited research that examines IPV among Native American populations. To understand Native American victimization, it is important to understand the historical context as it relates to trauma and oppression and how these experiences influence Native victimization experiences today. Historical context, legislation, and current policies are described, as are existing research findings pertaining to Native IPV. This research, paired with the broader body of IPV research, provides the foundation for the current study in regard to four areas of focus: occurrence, characteristics and risk factors, reporting and reporting barriers, and victim service utilization and barriers. Using survey methodology, this exploratory study involved collaboration with a tribe in the Western United States and sought to answer several research questions relating to the focus areas. Summary and descriptive statistics are presented based on a convenience sample (N=32). Overall, the findings regarding prevalence of violence, including IPV, coincide with prior research. Regarding characteristics and risk factors of victimization, findings both coincide with and are contradictory to prior literature. Furthermore, regarding barriers to reporting and seeking services, findings coincide with prior literature in that victims in this study face unique barriers which are similar to those living in rural locations and also specific to reservation living. The discussion and conclusion contextualize these findings within prior IPV literature, both specific to Native Americans and the general public, and offer recommendations for future research.

Youth and delinquency issues have long been problematic among Native Americans groups both on- and off-reservation. This phenomenon is further complicated by the cultural diversity among American Indians and Alaska Natives scattered across the United States. In address these issues, the paper begins with a historical overview of Native American youth.This history presents the long tradition of federal policies that, how well intended, have resulted in discriminatory practices with the most damages attacks being those directed toward the destruction of viable cultural attributes – the same attributes that make Native Americans unique within United States society.Following the historical material, the authors contrast the pervasive Native American aboriginal ethos of harmony with that of Protestant Ethic that dominates the ethos of the larger United States society. In addition to providing general information on Native American crime and delinquency, the paper also provides a case study of Native American justice within the Navajo Nation, the largest tribe, in both size and population, in the United States. The paper concludes with a discussion of issues specific to Native American youth and efforts to address these problems.

Starting Point

Although increasing concern about climate change has raised awareness of the fundamental role of forest ecosystems, forests are threatened by human-induced impacts worldwide. Among them, wildfire risk is clearly the result of the interaction between human activities, ecological domains, and climate. However, a clear understanding of these interactions is still needed both at the global and local levels. Numerous studies have proven the validity of the socioecological system (SES) approach in addressing this kind of interdisciplinary issue. Therefore, a systematic review of the existing literature on the application of SES frameworks to forest ecosystems is carried out, with a specific focus on wildfire risk management. The results demonstrate the existence of different methodological approaches that can be grouped into seven main categories, which range from qualitative analysis to quantitative spatially explicit investigations. The strengths and limitations of the approaches are discussed, with a specific reference to the geographical setting of the works. The research suggests the importance of local community involvement and local knowledge consideration in wildfire risk management. This review provides a starting point for future research on forest SES and a supporting tool for the development of a sustainable wildfire risk adaptation and mitigation strategy.
