Land remains the most fundamental of issues in Native North America, followed by those of tribal sovereignty and representation. Johnny Depp offered to buy the iconic land at Wounded Knee and gift it to the Lakota Nation. This article reflects not only upon the limitations, but more importantly upon the political implications of this approach, particularly when it is deployed as a resource for normative and material claims of Indigenous peoples in a settler-colonial society. Looking at the Wounded Knee ownership case through the lenses of postcolonial and affect theories, this article examines how the issues of Indigenous land, sovereignty and representation become linked when Oglala Lakota, as recipients of a philanthropic gift and of a happiness that is not their own, acquire a "happiness duty,"as defined by Sara Ahmed. Depp's declaration of intention can be read as another text within the colonial archive, given how it justifies intervention with the perceived unhappiness of Native culture. What, then, would it mean politically to recognize unhappiness?

The power of continuity: Ethiopia through the eyes of its children
Choice Reviews Online, 2005
Addis Abeba as well as those of the Ashena Primary School in Gojjam made my fieldwork in Ethiopia into a fascinating experience. They were all friendly, hospitable and informative, interested in assisting me in my research. While teaching me about life in an Ethiopian school they individually, in so many ways, also showed me what it is to be a caring and concerned member of a social community. My life has been profoundly enriched by knowing them all. I am only sorry that I cannot thank them individually, but I prefer to keep their names anonymous. During the research and period of writing I have been financially supported by the Swedish Agency for Research Cooperation with Developing Countries, SAREC, a support for which I am extremely grateful. I also sincerely appreciate the financial support from Rädda Barnen, Addis Abeba, which made trips in the city possible and landed me in a grand apartment. The Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology at Addis Abeba University not only facilitated my fieldwork but affiliation with the Department also allowed me to participate in seminars with very interesting discussions. Almaz Terrefe and Gunder Edström made life in Addis comfortable and stimulating. They not only, for a couple of months, gave me a room with a bed and a view but also included me in their rich social life. In Addis, Agneta Hejll from Rädda Barnen was always ready to discuss new ideas emanating from my observations, discussions usually accompanied by tasty dinners. Johan Stånggren, from the same organization, eagerly followed my work with many challenging questions. Tiruye Admassu, friend and assistant, facilitated work in Gojjam. Transport between Bahar Dar, Dangla and Ashena would have been impossible without the staunch support of Göte Lidvall and the safe driving of Yigzaw Tegenje. The Department of Social Anthropology at Stockholm University facilitated my work both from and in Sweden. Several friends and colleagues have given me invaluable comments on parts or the whole of the manuscript. Mona Rosendahl has supported me from the first outline to the full manuscript. Mona's comments have always been critical, incisive and constructive, encouraging me to elaborate on vague ideas. Herbert S. Lewis and Tekeste Negash have also read the full manuscript and given me cogent and positive comments highly pertinent to my arguments. Comments by three anonymous reviewers, especially number two, also helped me improve the discussion. Gunilla Bjerén, with a long history of work and research in Ethiopia, has given me many relevant comments and important references.
