How the Pueblos Became Global: Colonial Appropriations, Resistance, and Diversity in the North American Southwest

Abstract

________________________________________________________________Theories of colonialism and modernity often present divergent ways of understanding how indigenous populations became global, yet there are several points of intersection. These points include: (1) the heterogeneity present within indigenous groups that led to varied experiences of colonialism, (2) the diversity in colonial programs, (3) how the colonized and the colonizers appropriated goods and labor from each other, and (4) the variable practices of indigenous resistance. These intersections are illustrated through a discussion of the Pueblos of the North American Southwest, from the late ''precontact'' period (ca. AD 1400) to the present. ________________________________________________________________Résumé: Les théories sur le colonialisme et la modernité présentent souvent des façons divergentes pour comprendre comment les populations indigènes sont devenues globales, pourtant il existe plusieurs points d'intersection. Ces points comprennent: (1) l'hétérogénéité présente dans les groupes indigènes qui ont mené à différentes expériences du colonialisme, (2) la diversité des programmes de colonialisme, (3) comment les colonisés et les colonisateurs se sont appropriés des biens et du travail les uns des autres, et (4) les différentes pratiques de la résistance indigène. Ces intersections sont illustrées par le biais d'une discussion des Pueblos du Nord-Ouest américain, de la période de pré-contact jusqu'à présent. ________________________________________________________________

Mobility and Territorial Occupation of the Asurini do Xingu, Pará, Brazil: An Archaeology of the Recent Past in the Amazon

“…Nevertheless, with the advent of indigenous archaeologies in the second half of the twentieth century and the incorporation of new theoretical perspectives, the study of indigenous histories has focused on understanding the complexity and brutality of the experiences of these peoples during colonialism (Silliman 2005). Thus, archaeologists are conducting research to show: (1) the diverse nature of colonialism and the specific local histories associated with this process; (2) the strategies of interaction and resistance adopted by indigenous peoples when faced with attempts at economic, political, and social domination, with effects that are felt until today (Funari et al 1999; Kristensen and Davis 2013; Lightfoot 2006;Mills 2008; Oliver 2010; Silliman 2001Silliman ,2006Silliman ,2009.…”
