JOHNSTON, Barbara Rose (Ctr for Political Ecology) Lessons from the Dawning of the Anthropocene: Trials, Evolving Traditions, and New Directions for Communities Hosting Nuclear Disaster. Part I: Struggles and Evolving Strategies to Secure Resilience and Health in Marshallese Communities. In cracking the atom and unleashing nuclear power on this planet, we humans created a complex and completely unique force, one that generates immense power for a few and terrible suffering for many. This session considers the trials endured by host communities and emerging lessons from seven decades of life in a nuclear disaster zone. Part one explores the Marshallese experience and evolving lessons at home and in diaspora. Parts two and three offer a cross- cultural exploration of impacts, risk and uncertainties, and adaptive response. Collectively, we explore the architecture of power and controlling processes driving nuclear expansion, shaping consequential damages, encouraging remedial actions, and the relative success of struggles to build truly sustainable architectures of power.

Part Three: J. Anthony Paredes Memorial Plenary Decolonizing Both Anthropology and the Museum: Native American Practitioners’ Perspectives

J. Anthony Paredes Memorial Plenary Decolonizing Both Anthropology and the Museum: Native American Practitioners’ Perspectives
 
CHAIR: FAYARD, Kelly (Poarch Band of Creek Indians/Yale U)
 
ROUNDTABLE PARTiCIPANTS: AGUILAR, Joseph (San Ildefonso Pueblo/UPenn) VALLO, Brian (Acoma/SAR), CHAVEZ-LAMAR, Cynthia (Hope-Tewa/Navajo/Nat’l Museum of the American Indian), CHAVARRIA, Antonio (Santa Clara Pueblo/Museum of American Indian Arts and Culture)
 
FAYARD, Kelly (Yale U) Decolonizing Both Anthropology and the Museum: Native American Practitioners’ Perspectives. Both anthropology and museum collecting share a colonial past with a power imbalance between exogenous ethnographers and curators on the one hand, and the communities they seek to represent on the other. Native American communities, in particular, have been the subject of extensive anthropological research and museum collections but rarely control the presentations and images of their own culture. This session will discuss the transformations when Native American communities demand and achieve control of their own cultural property both in museums and via ethnographically collected materials such as language, oral narratives, and religious traditions. Examples of these transformative narratives will be presented by Native American representatives describing installations at the National Museum of the American Indian, the School for Advanced Research’s Indian Arts Research Center, and the Museum of American Indian Arts and Culture.
