The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and the Controversy of the Kennewick Man
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing NAGPRA and the controversy over the Kennewick Man. The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) was passed in 1990 which outlined the conditions for the repatriation of Native American remains and artifacts from archeological projects, museums and agencies. Since it was passed, a great deal of controversy has surrounded the act especially in the case of the Kennewick Man. The Kennewick Man was a 9,300 old skeleton found near the Columbia River in Washington in 1996. Following the guidelines of the act, the Department of the Interior wanted to hand over the remains to a nearby Native American tribe without scientific examination. Archaeologists brought the case to court using the argument that not only was the find critical to the development of the theories of migration in North America but also there was evidence that the Kennewick Man was not even of Indian origin. Overall, anthropologists and scientists believe that NAGPRA was made out of political considerations for the Native Americans but elevates the religious beliefs of Native Americans over those of other Americans, making it a violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution and disregarding the field of science.

The Relationship Between Form and Content within N. Scott Momaday’s Works “House Made of Dawn” and “The Way to Rainy Mountain”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing form and content in works of N. Scott Momaday. N. Scott Momaday, a Native American writer who first won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 has a unique presentation within his works. In “House Made of Dawn” (1968) Momaday relates the story of Abel, a young Jemez Pueblo Indian returning from World War II and who goes about a journey of self-discovery in which Momaday intermingles Abel’s imaginative thoughts, mythical stories and reality throughout. In “The Way to Rainy Mountain” (1969) an autobiographical collection, Momaday recounts his own journey back to Rainy Mountain through a series of poems, legends, drawings and historical facts about the Kiowa Indians. In both works, Momaday uses a fragmented format which reflects the fragmentation of the content which is occurring within the central characters. This fragmentation gradually comes together by the end of each work to present the reader and the characters with a sense of the “whole” person used to describe Abel and Momaday in their journeys of return and self-discovery. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
