{"pk":6553,"title":"Pan-Indianism and Authenti(city): Refusing Colonial Borders ","subtitle":null,"abstract":"<p>Pan-Indianism is an ambiguous and controversial concept. There is confusion regarding what the concept means and what purposes it serves. Some scholars describe resistance as the core tenet of pan-Indianism, focusing on the historical intertribal alliances formed to fight colonial powers. Others argue that it homogenizes Indigenous cultures and perpetuates stereotypes and appropriation. Despite these discrepancies, pan-Indianism remains consistently associated with urban spaces. This article explores this association by tracing pan-Indianism to an area of scholarship known as acculturation studies and argues that pan-Indianism functions as a grammar of colonialism. </p>","language":"eng","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial  4.0","short_name":"CC BY-NC 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
