" Outstanding scholarship. . . . Giant first steps towards the goal of providing a truthful and constructive understanding of indigenous worldviews."

—Daniel R. Wildcat, Professor of Sociology and American Indian Studies, Haskell Indian Nations University

Responding to anti-Indianism in America, the wide-ranging perspectives culled in Unlearning the Language of Conquest present a provocative account of the contemporary hegemony still at work today, whether conscious or unconscious. Four Arrows has gathered a rich collection of voices and topics, including:

Waziyatawin Angela Cavender Wilson's "Burning Down the House: Laura Ingalls Wilder and American Colonialism," which probes the mentality of hatred woven within the pages of this iconographic children's literature.
David N. Gibb's "The Question of Whitewashing in American History and Social Science," featuring a candid discussion of the spurious relationship between sources of academic funding and the types of research allowed or discouraged.
Barbara Alice Mann's "Where Are Your Women? Missing in Action," displaying the exclusion of Native American women in curricula that purport to illuminate the history of Indigenous Peoples.
Bringing to light crucial information and perspectives on an aspect of humanity that pervades not only U.S. history but also current sustainability, sociology, and the ability to craft accurate understandings of the population as a whole, Unlearning the Language of Conquest yields a liberating new lexis for realistic dialogues.

Four Arrows (Wahinkpe Topa), also known as Don Trent Jacobs, is a Professor at Fielding Graduate University's College of Educational Leadership and Change and a tenured Professor of Instructional Leadership at Northern Arizona University.

This booklet is intended to motivate most readers to stop eating shrimp, unless it comes from one of the few alternative sources that are not a travesty. It might also be sufficient to get readers to send copies to grocery stores, restaurants, friends and relatives. Eating shrimp (same as prawns) has major environmental and human rights consequences. Shrimp farms are polluting marine environments, drinking water and agricultural lands with tons of chemicals, antibiotics and organic waste. Nearly 40 percent of the world’s “ocean nurseries”- the mangrove swamps- have been eradicated by bull dozers making room for shrimp farms.1 (Interestingly, this loss of mangroves contributed significantly to the deadly toll from the recent Tsunami.2) Indigenous communities have been forced off their lands around the world, and many have been murdered by hired guns for resisting. If all this is not bad enough, the shrimp that people consume from these farms might be detrimental to your health.

Shrimp trawling (as in “shrimp boats are a comin’”) is as destructive as the farming industry. Trawling nets destroy ocean floor habitat, decimate natural food supplies, and wastefully kill a myriad of sea creatures. An average of 95 percent of what trawlers scoop up is not shrimp, but rather turtles, sea horses, juvenile red snappers, and many other important and endangered fish whose dead bodies are generally thrown back into the ocean.

Of all the environmental problems facing our world today, this is one of the easiest to solve.

American Assassination:

The Strange Death of Senator Paul Wellstone

By Four Arrows ( Don Trent Jacobs) and Jim Fetzer / Release date Oct.2004

Although no one can prove exactly what happened in the events leading to Wellstone’s death, these two Ph.D.s point out the official story’s inconsistencies and deliberate omissions. With a methodical argument, they present evidence of an official cover-up, a compelling motive for Wellstone’s assassination, and a more probable explanation for how Senator Wellstone was downed.

Knowledge and Power in the Global Economy: The Effects of School Reform in a Neoliberal/Neoconservative Age

(Sociocultural, Political, and Historical Studies in Education Se) (Hardcover) 2007
by David A. Gabbard (Editor)

The second edition of Knowledge and Power in the Global Economy examines how neoliberal and neoconservative policies are working in tandem to privatize and commercialize public schools. It looks at how these policies and the agendas behind them have impacted the internal dynamics of school management, teaching, and learning, as well as how they have transformed the external dynamics of education from a public good or service offered to serve public interests to a private enterprise primarily serving private interests. In addition to information, critique, and analysis, multiple perspectives are provided that readers can draw upon to formulate an alternative vision of education as a crucial element of social change along democratic and egalitarian lines.

Education as Enforcement: The Militarization and Corporation of Schools

Apple, Peter McLaren, Ramin Farahmandpur*

Book Description With surveillance cameras, chainlink fences, surprise searches and metal detectors our public schools increasingly resemble the military and prisons. The first book to focus on the intersections of militarization, corporations and education, Education as Enforcement shows how schooling has become the means through which the expansion of global corporate power is enforced. Whether through accountability and standards, school security, or other discipline based reforms, militarized education in the U.S. needs to be understood in relation to the enforcement of corporate economic imperatives and to a sense of "law and order" that pervades our popular culture. Such an understanding will enable the conception of strategies for renewing a spirit of public civic engagement and democratic responsibility.

Echoes from the Poisoned Well:

Global Memories of Environmental Injustice

Edited by:

Sylvia Hood Washington, Heather Goodall, and Paul Rosier
Foreword by Martin Melosi, University of Houston
Epilogue by Jeffrey Stine, Smithsonian Institution

The emerging environmental justice movement has created greater awareness among scholars that communities from all over the world suffer from similar environmental inequalities. This volume takes up the challenge of linking the focussed campaigns and insights from African American campaigns for environmental justice with the perspectives of this global group of environmentally marginalized groups. The editorial team has drawn on Washington's work, on Paul Rosier's study of Native American environmentalism, and on Heather Goodall's work with Indigenous Australians to seek out wider perspectives on the relationships between memories of injustice and demands for environmental justice in the global arena. This collection contributes to environmental historiography by providing "bottom up" environmental histories in a field which so far has mostly emphasized a "top down" perspective, in which the voices of those most heavily burdened by environmental degradation are often ignored. The essays here serve as a modest step in filling this lacuna in environmental history by providing the viewpoints of peoples and of indigenous communities which traditionally have been neglected while linking them to a global context of environmental activism and education.

Scholars of environmental justice, as much as the activists in their respective struggle, face challenges in working comparatively to locate the differences between local struggles as well as to celebrate their common ground. In this sense, the chapters in this book represent the opening up of spaces for future conversations rather than any simple ending to the discussion. The contributions, however, reflect growing awareness of that common ground and a rising need to employ linked experiences and strategies in combating environmental injustice on a global scale, in part by mimicking the technology and tools employed by global corporations that endanger the environmental integrity of a diverse set of homelands and ecologies.

The Military Drills on 9-11: “Bizarre Coincidence” or Something Else?
Four Arrows (aka Don Jacobs)
Abstract

Short-term military simulations of scenarios or conditions that U.S. military personnel might meet are generally the largest, in terms of cost and personnel, of all operational training events. That at least six such exercises were scheduled for September 11, 2001 raises serious questions about whether or not the events of 9/11 were at least partially orchestrated by U.S. command.

In light of the aforementioned military exercises and the fact that the 9/11 Commission's Final Report barely mentions them, neither were they significantly discussed nor investigated during the hearings, this essay briefly explores four key questions that will hopefully stimulate further inquiries, investigations and perhaps subpoenas that will ultimately break the silence and force declassification of the information surrounding the war games.

1. Has there been a high-level suppression of information about the military drills?

2. Might the military drills have been a significant factor in the success of the attacks?

3. Who was in charge of the military drills and what motives may have been operating for this person?

4. In what way might Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged in the United States for the attacks, be a link that connects to the person in charge of the games to another tragedy that may have been “an inside job” – i.e. Senator Paul Wellstone's death, and how might Moussaoui connect all of this to the Pentagon?

Educating For Humanity: Rethinking the Purposes of Education (Paperback)
by Mike Seymour (Editor)

The promise and necessity of working toward “a world that works for all” is a viable aspiration for education at a time when the worldwide crises in social justice, peace, democracy and ecological integrity have become the defining issues of our times. Ample evidence from many schools past and present prove that the purpose of educating young people for character, compassion, purpose and commitment is integral with the mastery of intellectual skills and life competencies.

The school experience of young people must work interdependently and in harmony with the development of a whole, human being. Educational policy directions, especially over the last twenty years, have veered far away from the important work of educating for humanity. This book makes a powerful appeal to revisit educational purpose in light of what is most fundamental and important to human beings everywhere.
