Indian Act

A legislação patrimonial norte-americana possui diversas especificidades. Uma lei de grande importância e relevância no cenário nacional tratou, em 1989, da instalação de um museu voltado para a divulgação e pesquisa da história de comunidades nativo-americanas, o National Museum of the American Indian, que faz parte da Smithsonian Institution. A sua lei de criação também estabelece os critérios para a repatriação de remanescentes humanos e objetos funerários presentes nas coleções adquiridas para a formação do museu. Com base no NMAIA (National Museum of the American Indian Act), uma segunda lei, foi aprovada no ano seguinte, o NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act). De abrangência nacional, o NAGPRA tornou-se uma das legislações patrimoniais mais importantes e conhecidas do mundo.

Indian Law

This chapter discusses repatriation law and a cluster of legal cases involving possession of ceremonial eagle feathers, where courts have consistently affirmed the collective contours of Native religions. Courts have upheld an exemption to the criminal penalties for feather possession tailored to members of federally recognized tribes against legal challenges by individual practitioners of Native religions who are not members of those tribes. These cases illustrate well the difficulties and the possibilities of religion as a category encompassing collective Native traditions. The coalition that persuaded Congress in 1994 to pass the Peyote Amendment to AIRFA was successful in part because it was largely the same circle of advocates, lawyers, tribal spiritual and political leaders, and allies who had recently won congressional passage of two repatriation statutes: the National Museum of the American Indian Act (NMAI) in 1989 and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) the next year. The chapter thus tells the story of Native-led efforts to secure these two laws and offers an interpretation of them not as religious freedom laws, but primarily as additions to federal Indian law that encompass religious and cultural heritage.

Cet article étudie un motif de naïade de libellule brodé sur un manteau en cuir d’orignal ayant pour origine la Première Nation des Pekuakamiulnuatsh de Mashteuiatsh, manteau actuellement conservé au National Museum of the American Indian (Smithsonian Institution) de Washington. Alors que l’étude des motifs décoratifs innus s’est principalement concentrée sur les motifs floraux, cet article en propose une lecture renouvelée. Les auteures analysent la place des libellules dans les savoirs et les pratiques ilnus en s’attachant aux relations interspécifiques qui leur sont associées, notamment avec les poissons. S’inscrivant dans un contexte de recherche collaborative entre experts locaux et chercheurs universitaires, l’article expose comment a été identifié puis étudié le motif au sein de la communauté. Il s’attache enfin à illustrer comment l’étude du manteau et du motif peut devenir un support de revitalisation et de réappropriation de connaissances culturelles et écologiques.
