The data contained herein have been used to suggest and support interpretations of turtle shell rattle remains recovered from the archaeological record across the United States.</p> <p>This compendium draws on an extensive database compiled and maintained by the author. The compendium lists the relevant ethnographic references; it gives the state and region of the United States and the Indigenous group that use(d) turtle shell rattles; it identifies the turtle shell rattle type and the various chelonian taxa by both their scientific and common names; and it describes the documented uses for turtle shell rattles for specific ethnic groups. I intend this compendium to serve as a summary of, and a guide to, the extensive ethnographic literature, which I encourage the reader to consult for additional, more-detailed information, as well as to understand the unique context.</p> <p>I used several criteria for deciding which information to include in the compendium. First, I was interested in what Indigenous Peoples used turtle shell rattles or turtle substitute rattles for (see Gillreath-Brown 2019) across the United States. I also try to include alternate or contemporary preferred names of the Native American groups in addition to the group name used in the literature. Second, I include primary ethnographic references in addition to other supporting references. In addition to providing the references in a word document, references are also compiled in the author’s Paperpile account, which is publically available at <a href="https://paperpile.com/shared/KU55Rg">https://paperpile.com/shared/KU55Rg</a>. Third, I was also interested in the type of rattle that was used and what turtle taxa (given by its scientific name according to Turtle Taxonomy Working Group 2017) was used in the construction of the rattle(s). I also provide the common name for scientific names. Fourth, I provide a use category for the rattles, which is comprised of ritual/ceremonial, medicinal/healing, and myth/creation. Finally, an ethnographic description and additional comments are provided to give further context for the turtle shell rattles and to further expand on the use categories. For example, for a use category of ritual/ceremonial, the description and comments field will generally list the dances or ceremonies where turtle shell rattles were used.</p> <p>A goal of the compendium is to aid researchers in their interpretations of archaeological turtle shell rattle remains, as well as to understand and document Indigenous music. Although turtle shell rattles have been present in the United States since the Archaic Period (ca. 8000–1000 BC), the specific uses of turtle shell rattles vary from group to group and over time. Some Indigenous Peoples may not have traditionally used turtle shell rattles or at least not for specific dances (e.g., Stomp Dance). For example, Howard and Kurath (1959:6) explain that the Ponca (of the midwestern United States) likely borrowed the stomp dance from eastern groups. Many Indigenous Peoples were forced from their traditional homelands and were placed in close proximity to other Indigenous Peoples, such as in the state of Oklahoma, that they may not have interacted with the past. Additionally, the Seminoles of Oklahoma may have learned about the use of condensed-milk can rattles as a substitute for turtle shell rattles from the Natchez-Cherokees around 1920 in Gore, Oklahoma (Howard and Lena 1984:117).</p> <p>Turtle shell rattle type is defined by the author and is presented in Gillreath-Brown 2019 (see also Gillreath-Brown and Peres 2017, 2018). In published literature, “turtle shell rattle” is phrased many different ways including: turtle shell rattle, terrapin carapace rattles, turtle carapace rattle, shell shakers, terrapin rattle, turtle shell shakers, terrapin shell rattle, turtle shell shackles, tortoise shell rattle, turtle shell leggings, and tortoise rattle (see Gillreath-Brown 2019: Supplemental Content, Supplementary Table 4). Additionally, sometimes turtle shell is hyphenated (i.e., turtle-shell). Tortoise and terrapin are also used as substitutes for “turtle.”</p> <p>Download the current version of the excel file below.</p> <p>References cited in the description above are in the word document “References Cited” and in Paperpile, except for Turtle Taxonomy Working Group (2017).</p> <p>Turtle Taxonomy Working Group [Rhodin AGJ, Iverson JB, Bour R, Fritz U, Georges A, Shaffer HB, et al]. 2017.

Meta-Organizations: a preliminary list of federations and confederations of states, tribes and indigenous peoples
<p>In the context of the project MetaOrgTrans and for the specific purpose of my research habilitation, I quickly constituted a database of federations and confederations of states, tribes and indigenous communities to identify meta-organizations that were not necessarily contitutive of western modernity. This is based on a list of confederations of states and tribes on Wikipedia (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_confederations">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_confederations</a>) and a list of indigenous peoples’ organizations signatories the RIO +20 indigenous peoples’ international conference on self-determination and sustainable development (<a href="https://www.forestpeoples.org/sites/fpp/files/publication/2012/06/list-indigenous-peoples-organizations-networks-and-federations-who-are-signatories-rio-20-indigenous.pdf">https://www.forestpeoples.org/sites/fpp/files/publication/2012/06/list-indigenous-peoples-organizations-networks-and-federations-who-are-signatories-rio-20-indigenous.pdf</a>)</p>
Crimean Tatars: Indigenous Peoples vs. National Minorities
<p>This article explores the complex identity of the Crimean Tatars, focusing on the distinction between being recognized as an indigenous people versus a national minority. The Crimean Tatars, an ethnic group with a deep historical connection to Crimea, have faced significant challenges, including forced deportations and socio-political marginalization. Despite their historical presence and unique cultural heritage, legal and political frameworks often categorize them as a national minority rather than acknowledging their status as an indigenous people.<br>The discussion begins by examining the historical background of the Crimean Tatars, including their pre-Soviet status, the impact of Soviet policies, and their post-Soviet experiences. It highlights the significance of international legal standards and conventions, such as ILO Convention No. 169, in defining indigenous status and how these standards apply to the Crimean Tatars.<br>Ultimately, the article argues that recognizing the Crimean Tatars as an indigenous people rather than merely a national minority is crucial for ensuring their cultural preservation and political representation. It calls for a reassessment of current policies and greater alignment with international standards to better support the rights and aspirations of the Crimean Tatars.</p>
Engagement with indigenous people preserves local knowledge and biodiversity alike
<p>Recent events have brought increasing attention to social inequities in the sciences, including those stemming from the legacy of colonialism. In biological classification, Western scientists have long benefitted from traditional indigenous knowledge but have usually not engaged with it on equal footing, often providing a biased assessment of biodiversity. We illustrate how adopting a collaborative approach results in a better, more complete understanding of biodiversity that promotes conservation of both the environment and indigenous knowledge. This study concerns the Bornean fruit tree species, <em>Artocarpus odoratissimus</em>, which has remained a single species in Western diagnosis but corresponds to two species in the traditional taxonomy of the Iban people. Molecular data from newly collected and historical specimens unequivocally support the Iban two-species framework. We advocate a more expansive approach to standardized scientific taxonomy that welcomes indigenous peoples as equal partners and that integrates diverse forms of taxonomic knowledge, ultimately resulting in improved understanding of evolutionary history and more effective conservation and management of biodiversity.</p>

Nunataryuk Session "Indigenous Peoples, science and climate change in the Arctic: lessons learned and a way forward" at ICASS X
<p>Permafrost coasts in the whole Arctic represent 34% of the world's coasts (Lantuit et al., 2012) and a key interface for human-environmental interactions. These coasts provide essential ecosystem services, exhibit high biodiversity and productivity, and support indigenous lifestyles. At the same time, this coastal zone is a dynamic and vulnerable zone of expanding infrastructure investment and growing health concerns. Climate change is affecting this fragile environment by triggering coastal landscape instability and increased hazard exposure (Forbes et al., 2011). Permafrost thaw in combination with increasing sea level and changing sea-ice cover expose the Arctic coastal and nearshore areas to rapid changes (Fritz et al. 2017). Since 2017, scientists from the Nunataryuk Project are working in cooperation with local communities in order to identify the impacts of thawing land, coast and subsea permafrost on the global climate and on humans in the Arctic and to develop targeted and co-designed adaptation and mitigation strategies.</p>
