Monoculturalism and Project Invisibility
Silencing dissenting Indigenous voices"Project Invisibility is a sustained campaign to remove First Nations leaders from public boards and other senior government roles."
"We're going back to the [master] days, like you have your head bowed, you're too afraid to put your head up and speak your mind because you might be out the door."
"It means you'll have the same old Eurocentric version of the world in your policies, everything you're doing within government will be white, anglicised."
"They are eradicating, invisibilising us, and destroying our history and culture." >>

#WMPG #Podcasts - #ReturningTheLand
Host: Dr. #DavidLowry
"This podcast is named 'Returning the Land' for two related reasons. First of all, the 'United States' is a nation founded within and funded through theft from American Indian and other #IndigenousPeoples. While many people know this as fact, to many people this is brand new information. Second, this podcast is a statement about the need to shift how we talk and label. It is a linguistic shift. In a world where human bodies are constantly re-labelled (e.g. in terms of gender, disability, etc.) all non-Indigenous Americans enjoy a world in which colonial labels placed on stolen Indigenous lands, waters and spaces have become permanent and enduring. In this series of conversations, you are invited into conversations about how these #colonial, #genocidal processes are playing out across the United States – and how they tie into world orders. You are invited to return the land."

I'm listening to a very interesting broadcast with anthropologist Dr. #DavidShaneLowry (#Lumbee) where he talks about the origins of "#FryBread". Not traditional food (which I suspected), but based on rations given to Native Americans after displacement!

Columbus Day honors a man who brought destruction—not discovery. Indigenous Americans lived for tens of thousands of years before his arrival triggered slavery, violence, and genocide. Here’s the truth.

#DavidShaneLowry Calls for More Than a #LandAcknowledgement in Talk Hosted by Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archeology
by Christian Estrada and Tayla Stempson
Oct 18, 2024"On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, the Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archeology hosted a talk by David Shane Lowry, a member of the #Lumbee Tribe and an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Southern Maine. His discussion centered on settler #colonialism, the #LandBack movement, and the importance of returning #IndigenousLands to their original owners.
"In an interview with The Phillipian, Lowry urged students to grapple with #IndigenousHistory in the current era, not just the past. He expressed his hopes for Andover students not to shy away from uncomfortable situations.
"'You have to make Native and Indigenous peoples part of today. They can’t merely be part of events/politics/wars in the past. Every experience that you all at PA have with your local and national community ought to be to work to reverse the realities that allow you to live comfortably outside of relationships with Native and Indigenous peoples,' wrote Lowry in an email to The Phillipian."

Faculty Focus - USM’s Dr. #DavidShaneLowry
April 25, 2024
"Meet Dr. David Shane Lowry, the new anthropology professor at the University of Southern Maine, who teaches classes at the Gorham and Portland campuses. Lowry is a member of the #Lumbee tribe of #NorthCarolina, and is the first Native (Indigenous) tenure-track professor at USM.
"Starting at MIT and finishing his doctorate at UNC Chapel Hill, Lowry went on to be the Distinguished Fellow in Native American Studies at MIT, and Visiting Senior Fellow in the School of Social Policy at Brandeis University, before accepting a tenure-track position at the University of Southern Maine.
"During his undergraduate at MIT, he envisioned himself becoming an engineer, be it civil, mechanical, or chemical, but he couldn’t shake an idea that he 'should begin to tell stories.' Like so many students, Lowry took one class that changed everything. In his case it was an anthropology course. He kept up with his science courses as well, studying and eventually working in healthcare before embarking on a doctorate.
"Lowry recalls working in pharmacy in North Carolina in 2003 during the Iraq war, and seeing the maimed soldiers returning, 'they were living side by side with Lumbee people who were also maimed from other conditions, different types of violence, different types of disease states etcetera.'
"In the United States, Native American communities tend to be made into industrial dumping grounds and sites of environmental degradation. The effects of this on the health of Lumbee people that Lowry witnessed led to his doctoral research, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, studying health, healing, and dying in the Lumbee community. Lowry completed this doctorate degree in five years – a notable accomplishment by any measure, and indicative of his sense of purpose.
"Lowry describes coming to Maine as an opportunity. Maine has a deep history as well as numerous contemporary issues that it is working through in regards to Native American communities who live here. Lowry is working to build bridges, raise awareness, create discussions, and be the best educator and resource that he can be for his students.
"Lowry leads the #IndigenousRelationshipLab (IRL) at USM, which focuses on issues of #justice and #remattering. That second word, ‘remattering,’ warrants a little explanation. Native people once mattered in this country, in that the United State’s founding fathers feared them and saw a need to clear them away so that their land could be taken and put to different uses by non-Native peoples. In the years since, Native American issues have too often fallen by the wayside; this has been so much the case that a 2018 study found that 40% of Americans didn’t know that Native people still existed or that they were oppressed. Remattering is in one sense the work of making this topic, and these people, matter again. Today, an estimated 2.5% of Maine’s population are Native people whose existence here goes back more than 12,000 – perhaps 125,000 years.
"One current issue in Maine focuses on LD 2004, a bill which was vetoed in 2023, but would have restored access to federal protections for the Indigenous tribal nations that make up the #WabanakiConfederacy, and worked to reinstate their #sovereignty. Tribes in Maine are currently treated as municipalities under the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1980, which makes Maine’s relationships with the tribes an outlier in the United States.
"Essentially, of the small portions of land the United States government reserved or held in trust for #NativeAmericans, what we call reservations, the Indigenous peoples of Maine, #Wabanaki Peoples, have severely limited control over the land that is set aside for their nations."
