THE APPLICATION OF ANTHROPOLOGY IN NATIVE AMERICAN RESERVATIONS IN THE U.S.

Summary/Abstract: Applied anthropologists working Native American (Indian) reservations in the United States had primarily focused on the issue of acculturation. Except for studies of the Sioux in South Dakota, the work of these anthropologists concerned southwestern groups such as the Navaho, Hopi, Papago, Zuňi...The primary objective of the application of anthropology in Native American reservations was to aid the administrative planning of political structure, commercial development, education etc. In the American case, the absence of overt colonialism somehow obscured the presence of paternalism, evident in the case of British anthropologists. Another difference between British and American applied anthropology was in the domain of rhetorics. In the U.S, it was based on egalitarian populism from the end of 19th and the beginning of 20th century, that opposed everything representing an obstacle to the fulfillment of people's needs and desires. This ideology was renewed in the rhetorics of New Deal and its egalitarian paternalism.
