This dissertation seeks to explore the relationship between the embodied subject and definitions of health and illness among Native communities of Southwest and South-central Washington. The project is based on historical and archival research as well as ethnographic fieldwork among contemporary Native communities. The first chapter discusses embodiment and subjectivity within its theoretical and comparative context. Chapter two and three are historical examinations of 19<super>th</super> century Native communities along the Columbia River. These chapters discuss illness narratives constructed around the epidemic diseases that swept through this area at that time, as well as the ways in which Euroamerican missionaries made use of these narratives. Chapters four, five, and six are ethnographic accounts of Native communities in Washington as they wrestle with contemporary threats to health and wellness. Chapter four discusses a pregnancy loss crisis among a small tribal community on the Washington Coast. Chapter five discusses the historical and “traditional” origins of two contemporary tribal wellness programs. Finally, chapter six explores the debate over Kennewick Man, a 10,000 year-old skeleton currently the subject of a lengthy lawsuit. The chapter addresses the importance of proper treatment of the dead for well-being of living American Indian communities, as well as suggestions for a more ethical approach to archaeological and anthropological research.Subjects--Topical Terms:
