SIDELIGHTS:

Duane Champagne told CA: "Most of my writings are about social and cultural change in American Indian or indigenous communities or nations. I grew up on the Turtle Mountain Reservation in northern North Dakota and could not help but notice the differences in culture and community between the reservation and non-reservation communities. At the same time I had great interest in religion, philosophy, world history, and biography. While I have studied mathematics and other scientific fields, my interests always return to social and cultural change among American Indian, indigenous people, and the direction and prospects for humanity in general.

"My own orientations are to study and inquire about fundamental issues of group organization and social-cultural processes. Unlike many contemporary social scientists, I perceive that culture and consensus are critical aspects for understanding human history, change, and prospects for the future. I write because the future of humanity is not assured, and we must make choices about how to live peacefully on a globalized planet.

"I feel compelled to explore and write about basic issues of social and cultural organization, and to present my writings to others for discussion and consideration. Will the world surge toward democracy, or toward a world authoritarian state, or toward warring nations and civilizations? What are the prospects and possibilities for peace, respect, and cultural integrity in an increasingly globalized world? How can we have democracy, consensus, and truly respect different cultures and traditions? We must solve these issues; otherwise the future will have many grim moments. My writings increasingly have evolved in this direction, and I am hoping to make contributions to understanding past history, the prospects for indigenous peoples, but more generally, as well, social and cultural future patterns and possibilities for the planet."
