This idea is called Pan-Indianism. Some Native people see it as representing intertribal unity & working toward common goals, while others see it as a blending together of distinct tribal identities into generic sameness. To this day, Natives debate whether Pan-Indianism in cities is “good” or “bad”

Relocation of Native people from reservations to urban areas created a whole new experience for Native people: managing their traditions and cultural identity in an urban setting. And it caused Native people from totally different tribes to come together in new ways.

Evolutionary features that served us for millennia are clashing with the modern era when we are increasingly exposed to-- and influenced by-- complicated mazes of buzzwords, mantras, euphemisms, clichés, and redefinitions.
Join us for the live premiere September 16 at 9 am PT / 12 noon ET!
In our upcoming lecture about the language of cults, we'll learn how linguistic tricks often used in cults (and cult-ish communities from fitness to fandoms) are so effective because our brains are hardwired to fall for them.

In November 1969, a group of Native Americans took over and occupied Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay for 19 months. A year after the occupation began, President Nixon announced plans for a sweeping new policy for dealing with Native nation that would return power to tribal authorities.

While traditional Crash Courses on our channel break open an entire subject, a Crash Course Lecture tackles a single topic in-depth. Each lecture shares the perspective of a scholar, journalist, or thinker. This lecture is hosted by Amanda Montell, linguist, social commentator, & author of "Cultish"

In this lecture about linguistics, culture, and belonging, we'll learn about how, in the modern era, we are increasingly exposed to, and influenced by, complicated mazes of buzzwords, mantras, euphemisms, clichés, and redefinitions: in short, language that’s just a little bit cultish.

The Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) was the first attempt at legislation that actually tried to help Native Americans. While it does help tribes, it has a lot of flaws and shortcomings. And this flawed law that was made in 1934 is still the law of the land.
